It only got nerfed because it was so popular. Yet it was perfectly balanced before.
Yet all the other way more garbage & OP things in this game still live in the long run. Why I think BioWare did wrong going the lazy by the number balancing act route, since fads come and go as players learn the game better. Plus as long as it's balanced, who cares if it's popular. Let players enjoy it. Why it's important BioWare figure out their own game and start doing things right for the next MEmp.
- Same reason why grenade capacity was introduced. New pugs don't like using nades because not enough nades. So BioWare introduced this typical lame solution in nade capacity to balance the player stat numbers out. Yet once folks learn the game, they learn nades are the most OP and broken things in the game.
- New pugs don't like the Harrier because it runs out of ammo, and why they actually prefer something like Geth Pulse Rifle over it. I kid not. I heard new pugs say this all the time (and that GPSMG is more OP then Hurricane + argued with me, lol to that pug. Made my day for sure). Plus see new pugs using the GPR all the time. Plus the player stats BioWare showed once on GPR showed it near the top of the list to back me up on this. As well as a bunch of other weird choices.
