I'd just like to point out that while I appreciate the premise of this thread, all these buffs do not excuse the overnerfing of weapons. Overnerfing is bad. Period. Just as overbuffing can be
I agree completely. Everything should be buffed or nerfed just the right amount.
This thread does not address that issue. This thread addresses the claims of the extremely vocal, hysterical, alarmist, tinfoil-hat-wearing types who make dozens of threads claiming that, among other things, every gun is being turned into garbage (causing the game to be ruined utterly), and that there are constant nerfs and only minor buffs.
If a bad gun is buffed and is still bad, then that buff doesn't matter.
If a good gun is buffed and is still good, then that buff deosn't matter.
If a bad gun is nerfed and is still bad, then that nerf doesn't matter.
If a good gun is nerfed and is still good, then that nerf deosn't matter.
Lack of effective change "doesn't matter".
If a bad gun is buffed and is now good, then that buff matters.
If an excellent gun is nerfed and is now good, then that nerf matters.
If a good gun is nerfed and is 'ok', then that nerf matters.
Effective changes "matter".
The buffs that have been done are in the "don't matter" category, because they haven't elevated guns from their previous rank.
Some of the nerfs that have been done "do matter", because they have reduced weapons down from their previous rank.
The net effect of the buffs/nerfs, is a
nerf to the guns.
However, the addition of excellent guns is a net
buff to the player.
Even though the new excellent guns were later nerfed down to 'good / very good' guns, the player is still more powerful than at release.
IMO Krysae (due to the ROF nerf) isn't worth using anymore over BW/Valiant.
But the other excellent/good guns that have been added are still a big improvement over the release weapons. Reegar/Harrier/Typhoon/Piranha are all very good weapons, on par or better than Claymore/Graal/GPS.
