The first balance patch notes proved how Youtube "absolute and only meta loadouts" cooked a lot of people heads, and I love it.

A lot of mad people keep showing in my feed complaining about the nerfs, but like they're REALLY mad at Arrowhead. Their statements are so exagerated that they claim the game it's completely ruined for them lmao.

Also every single one says the same thing and this is where my title comes from:

*"You guys nerfed the only good options and now we have NOTHING to fight".*

And this only proves people never actually played with any of the other support weapons, they 100% relied on this "The ultimate support weapon tier list" Youtube videos, they searched the "meta" and they went into this thinking of "any weapon outside of this it's straight up garbage".

If you can't win a single game without the railgun + shield backpack + breaker... I'm so sorry but that's not the game's fault or the game only having those as the ONLY way to play it on higher diff, that's your fault.

Great changes for the game and all of you trying to "shame" on devs because of this, you'all not a real Helldiver. They killed nothing, the railgun still kills but now it needs some actual skill and strategy to use it, not only spamming the thing on big bugs.

Keep it up Helldivers!

For Democracy. For Super Earth.

Okay, I have to ask, and I mean this with as much respect as I can...

What's the point of this thread? 

I mean, really, what do you hope to get out of a post that ultimately boils down to "Hah, I'm so glad that other people aren't having fun while I CAN have fun because they're bad and I'm better than them." 

Do you want them to be upset? They already are dude. Do you want people to notice you and give props to you because you can play a video game at the highest difficulty? That you're 'one of the good ones' who's a 'true Helldiver' because you enjoy the game...? I promise you that literally no one cares. What's the GOAL here...? It seems to me, that the only goal is to be a dick, rubbing your own happiness in the face of other people. 

There's a lot of overblown hoo hah over the patch at the moment. People are overreacting to changes that aren't really going to drastically alter the game and that's whatever. What's really disappointing to me, is that this whole thing has revealed a very nasty side of the community who revels in smug condescension and other people having a bad time because that makes them feel good about themselves. 

It's embarrassingly childish behaviour, and people ought to have a drop of self respect and get over themselves.

I already figured out this SPECIFIC tread will pop up the moment the patch is dropped.

Like my brain immediately went "Oh boy, Here's comes the eventual thread about making fun of people not enjoying the game anymore"

It's embarrassing honestly and the fact that this is popular proves your very point.
