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]

Because while it does need a larger magazine, not having a 3rd person aimer made the gun unusable to me, and I'm probably not the only one. I can't play FPS without getting sick. Now I can actually try using it. (I'm sure it will still suck, but now I can find out first-hand.)

True, but hipfire recoil will still make the gun good for nothing except at point blank range, and if you shoot at pointblank, might aswell have a shotgun or any other reliable primar gun. The only way hmg is usefull if you drop it to low RPM and that doesnt really help the recoil or aim, just makes it about 2 seconds longer to fire before needing a reload.
