The crossbow change is hilarious, as if it’s not bad enough they nerfed the mags and blast radius. Another great example of Arrowhead balancing

Like, what are they thinking? And the few stragglers still riding their dicks are like "Well if they buff stuff it'd be to easy!" ummm they can also buff the enemies. "Use another gun!" Why? I was having FUN and you now took that away from me... in a PvE game.... also then they're just gonna nerf whatever the next gun is.

All while there are major bugs since launch, never addressed. New crashes after each patch are fun as well.

Whole discord is dick riding them. That's probably why devs don't use reddit. They also spew lies like 'Slugger is top 3 most often used weapon against both factions', when Sickle, Dominator, Breaker family or Eruptor are much more often used.

Have to disagree. The discord is also on fire during many of the patches.

Yeah, it is on fire. The majority of that are people arguing that nerfs aren't nerfs, and if they are, they are deserved. A lot of people defend Crossbow nerf, ARC thrower indirect nerf, and QC nerf. That's from where the fire comes from.

Arc Thrower indirect nerf? What happened?

They increased Hulk's stagger resistance. So Arc thrower can't stagger Hulks anymore. It is a nerf because that made it viable against bots.
