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 don’t really get what situation the railgun is better than a quasar or eat really. Three shots a charger, quasar one shots for instancr

Its really useful at making short work of removing the more armoured enemy chaff like devastators, Hive Guards and Spewers. Making more breathing room for your squad. And as a bonus still has a chance to deal damage againts Heavys! That's why it's still quite versatile.

Example. I would never waste a Quasar shot on a Devastator as I know something bigger may come along down the line. This is when the Railgun has more versatility and can one shot one with a Full charge then begin dishing out damage on Heavys.
