[b]I understand the gun was over used and needed something to be done and I definitely agree with the community about it needing some kind of nerf but the way it was handled is kinda sad.[/b]
The problem with the gun wasn't the Ricochet damage or damage falloff because lets face it, you don't use auto rifles past a certain range anyway and if someone kills me with ricochet damage it was probably because they were mag dumping an over-sized mag around a corner they knew I was behind. I feel like there was a better way around nerfing it. Damage fall off wasn't the issue and neither was the ricochet damage. Recoil/aim assist could have been a good change or maybe reduce range stat but keep infinite range so that the aim assist falls off at a lower distance along with hit reg so it cant track as well as other auto rifles but keeps its exotic feel of infinite range and ricochet damage. As it is this gun now feels like a mediocre auto rifle that lost its exotic perks in pvp. I just feel like there was a better way to go about tweaking this gun for crucible.
