That someone has skill and kills you with a weapon does not make the weapon unbalanced. It seems that every time someone with some skill gets the feel of a weapon then is nerfed, Cylo FS, Cylo AS secondary, LS , R9, M50, Viper. But the truly unbalanced ones are not being checked: longhorn (superspam) with 1s1k secondary, defibs punch mega damage and stunt, bulldog (omg) , bort inferno flare, acid spam, Grenade team kill. Most of the weapons being nerfed are not being used by many, but some few with skill. Nonetheless 4 out of 6 players with a bulldog does not call the attention of OP weapon being used...iRobot wrote:Just because a weapon is seldom used does not make it balanced.
All it takes is two people to realize it is OP and then it spreads like wildfire.
In my opinion R9 was just fine. R9 was not OP, without aiming and crouching you couldn't hit anything. If you do both, then you got a great weapon, unfortunately you are a sitting duck. Redwood 9000 is/was better.
