You are making that argument on the assumption that every game studio has unlimited resources and staff.
You're clearly making uninformed comments.
But a lot of these situations that you'll encounter aren't dictated by the circumstances you keep bringing up. You're explicitly dealing with extremes. Not every situation is two equally high skilled players having a 1v1 mid-fight where the gun ultimately can be the determining factor
The spitfire fully decked out, not being as much of a laser as the r301 (also decked out), is a demonstration of balance, not imbalance, because the Clip size of the gun is where the advantage is suppose to lie. There are plenty of times where anyone, of any skill level, can whiff enough on a full 301/99 clip & leave themselves exposed to a spitfire spray. And for various reasons. Such as flinch from getting shot at, or good cover being used well by the enemy. Sometimes you get caught reloading by a player who you hadn't even engaged yet. Who then can dump the rest of his clip into your teammate since he never had to reload. This is the game, this stuff happens to everyone. Circumstances vary
Same with the devotion. The charge up is where the balance lies. Yes a 99 in close range can out-do a devo before it speeds up, but not many other guns can consistently. You have to play to the circumstances & catch the player while they're winding it up. That's an element to the gameplay that adds variety & as a result, balance, to me. Since of course the gun will kill anyone who gets 'caught'.
You also totally have to factor in how strong these guns are off the drop. An LMG + armor right off the drop means you can clear 2 teams at least. They basically have SMG hip-fire & they stay formidable all the way through to the end. That is balance to me, seeing how the strength of these guns allow people to kill players even above their skill level. They would be OP if the could 'naturally' out gun a 301 or better.
But like I stated originally, even in the current state of balance, you have plenty of viable weapons, and guns like the Hemlock Flatline Alternator ect could still see a buff. As well as new guns potentially being introduced. If strictly competitive circumstances is all your concerned with, then I suppose r-301 on every single player is the ideal setting? But how lame with that be? All I'm saying is let's buff, not nerf. This game should have a ton of good guns, not a bunch of "ehhh" guns where everyone defaults to the most versatile & laser-like just because.
These may be you experiences but I honestly can not remember the last time someone with a spitfire or a devotion killed me as long as you play smart honestly any gun should kill a devotion there are very few situations that a devotion will kill a smart player but to each his own I will just continue to disagree because if I don’t get killed by it in my eyes it is not viable but who knows next time I play maybe it will happen
