Let's be honest here. Every time new weapons are added to any game there are tweaks made once they get enough data to see how it is performing. I doubt this time will be any different. Not all tweaks are nerfs or buffs, just bringing the weapon into a normal range with the rest of the weapons in the game. Do I think the BSV is OP, no Do I think it needs some adjustments, yes. I don't have any credentials as an expert but I have been playing video games since the 70s and have seen this before. 😛
New weapons, vehicles, gadgets, etc. are almost always released overpowered and then toned down later. Its part of the marketing angle when there is a featured update like a new season. Especially if there is potential for people to buy them (or indirectly buy them via tier skips, etc.)
On more than one ocassion DICE released a new MTX cosmetic skin in BFV that just happened to render the player invisible for a few days/weeks until they got around to patching it. Coincidence? Maybe.

VSS seems very versatile in any combat situation. I don't view the weapon as OP. The problem with VSS is blatant called universal setup Falk + Ammo Bag + VSS/Angel + Medbag with High Power 11 rounds in hands of a skilled player, 44 ammo in total. Let`s imagine AS VAL or M16A3 + med bag + ammo pouch SPECIALIST in BF3 in 2011.
That is why I`m for Classes at least in Conquest, not META Builds.
