I think the perk needs to be reworked. It gets tiring being laned by a sniper for all eternity because they just keep getting ammo back and you can't bait them properly. That, and sometimes you come across players who will actively find a teammate to team-shoot with in situations where they are forced to do something. The majority of them I see just sit back and run for the majority of the match. It gets hard to actually push them with anything else.
Saying Beloved is a better sniper does not mean anything. Revoker is free special ammo right now. That's why everyone is using it. Beloved can be baited and bullets can be wasted. Revoker doesn't really have that issue. And the bullets for Revoker come back so fast...
I have an old suggestion about the Reversal of Fortune perk and a new one I just thought up.
- (Old) If Revoker uses its final shot and misses, the bullet should not come back. If you have more than 1 ammo, then the perk will work as it does.
- (New) A bigger rework. If you kill an enemy with Revoker after missing a shot, you get a bullet returned to the magazine. In this case, you still get ammo back and it happens on a kill when the conditions are met instead, but it can't be endlessly spammed. It also still works with the name of the perk.
After thinking about it, I think I like the newer idea better. Getting team-shot by auto rifles is one thing, but getting team-shot by a "head-glitching" Revoker on some far side of the map is infuriating at this point. It wouldn't be nearly as bad if that sniper followed the rules of the same ammo economy.

There’s plenty of time between shot and when it rechambers to move.
