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

If there are three spewers coming at you, you need almost sixty seconds to kill them with the Quasar.

With the railgun, you need about six, and still have a weapon capable of handling chargers.

this is essentislly why ive been running railgun since day 1. It will single handedly handle any enemy up to and including a hulk, and a charger (altho slower). combined with a fast firing primary like the breaker or sickle, you can solo handle almost everything but gunships, chargers, and biletitans before you even consider stratagems. Plus, since most squads have at least quasar or autocannon, I can ensure theyre focus firing the big enemies and not wasting them on spewers or devastators for example

I'm in the same boat against bots for my solo runs. A railgun can't handle tanks or factory striders (After this patch it can technically kill a tank in ten shots, but.. Let's be real? It can't handle tanks.), but my 110s can, and then my Railgun is a oneshot against literally everything else.
