L85A3 balance

I've recently unlocked the L85A3 and I must say it was a grind, but I loved this gun in previous games and thought it was absolutely worth it, however once I unlocked it, experience with it was pretty underwhelming... its much weaker than the M433 for example because of the rate of fire difference (which is huge while damage is the same) and it doesn't at all represent a rifle that could be considered as ,,medium range". The missions that are required to unlock it are pretty difficult (and that's good) but the reward isn't that well... rewarding. The rate of fire could stay the same but could you please consider raising the damage from 25 to 33? Having this gun equipped in CQC with its rate of fire gives you no chance against people with other rifles and I know I know ,,if you want to fight in close use other guns that are created for it" but difference between mid-range and close-range in assault rifles is very small and this gun feels much to weak to do both while ADS. I hope this review won't land on death ears and see you on the battlefield!
