Nerfed weapons and cards
The nerfing of weapons is just a sign of no backbone and like previous players have said, catering to players with no skill. The modification made to the bowcaster, making it never a one shot kill has...

Agreed. I understand limiting its power, but taking from 50 down to 15 is drastic. Now even a fully charged, perfectly executed bowcaster hit can leave an opponent alive. More than once I've done this and been killed by that enemy before I can pull out my regular blaster and finish him/her off. Ridiculous. Actually makes the last card unlocked a detriment and I don't use at all anymore.
The he same now goes for the Homing shot. I understand decreasing its speed, but decreasing its distance and increasing its lock time ensures that it is useless in battle. The only time you have an opponent that close with 1.4 s to kill is when they don't see you. And if they don't see you, might as just use your blaster. Could also help for opponents with a shield, but shield not that common in big game modes and still with a lock time increased over 4x (I honestly thought it was too long the way it was before), you'll usually be killed by other enemies while trying to get a lock on the one. Again, I don't use this card at all anymore, which is a shame cause the cards are (were) the best part of the game.
EA/DICE, please consider making the changes to bowcaster and homing shot less drastic or just remove them from the game. They are now more likely to get you killed than get kills for you.
Personally I loved hunting down jumpcasters and I only used homing shot on the odd occasion just for a change of pace but the nerfs were not needed at all.
Countering jumpcasters and homing shot was fairly easy so clearly ea and dice DID cave to the complainers.
I dont claim to be a master player and I am in fact just an average player so if I can figure out how to counter these weapons anyone should be able to.
I loved the great variety of gameplay styles that were available to effectively use but now only a few styles are viable.
And the nerf herders are calling for even MORE nerfs. Where does it end? Eventually its going to be just everyone with more or less the same blasters and cards playing the same way and there is NOTHING fun about that.
Every time these ppl get killed by the same weapon repeatedly they are going to cry for a nerf rather than adapting their strategy. Then these same ppl tell everyone else that THEY will just have to adapt while refusing to adapt themselves. Gamer hypocrisy at its best.

- The nerfed bow caster has made it useless. People complained it was to powerful, but it should be a bit op since it's the last one to unlock. The same with the DL-44.
