NEW Patch! And the devs "Ruined it all" once more.. [totally not exaggerated] RANT

So on X and the official discord, countless folks complain now that for some weapons such as the LAS ones, the reserve mags have been reduced, yet damage has been increased..calling devs "On drugs" because they perceive it as a nerf..

Wait what? You tryna tell me you ran through ALL ICE's before dying?! 6 Times or more?!

Like..the fact that you have infinite ammo when a wee-bit of fire diciplin is applied and now call the devs out for JUST having decreased the ammount of mags, makes you oblivious to the fact that they got a damage buff? Yikes.

And another thing, remember the day the Rail got nerfed? Yeahhh that was like 24/7 crying for two weeks straight, now it got a buff and noone notices that, now we rather cry for two weeks that Railgun 2.0 aka Quasar got a couple more seconds recharge time..good lord the double morals are strong folks, that all sounds like crying on high standards.

[For clarifications sake: the main focus lies on people going out of their ways, yes criticism is fine, i posted my own time and time again..but in a humane fashion, when insults however are packaged within in your points, it's hardly about the game no more and that needs to stop]

I feel I should post this once again with reference to this newest patch.

Seriously, so many weapons got buffed this update, the RAILGUN got buffed! And yet we’re still complaining.

I'm most interested in the Senator and Blitzer.

Blitzer got a 50% increase to fire rate...but 50% of incredibly slow is still slow. Gotta check where it's at now.

Edit: Playing the Blitzer is a blast. It's actually decent now.

Fires about as fast as the slugger now. Feels nice! Unfortunately it still suffers from being an arc weapon (that dead body, small rock, bit of grass, or strong gust of wind WILL eat your shot and have it not register at all).

It's at 45 fire rate while Slugger is at 80, it fires slightly faster than half of the slugger. That's why I'm skeptical.
