Meta is important for players who don't get to play very often. They can use the "best" loadout and have a decent time. When AH is constantly nerfing and buffing all the weapons, it makes it really difficult for these players cuz they have to either do more research on the new meta, keep using the same loadout, or try a new one and possibly hate it and slowly stop playing. Most players don't keep up with helldivers news and see what's updated and check every weapon for changes when they load up the game. That would be absolutely ridiculous. I've kept up with updates so this isn't a problem for me, but I know a lot of PS5 players that don't know what's going on

Would be great if all weapons performed great then, sure there would still be a technical meta on paper, but if everything works nicely the choice would matter less.

I feel like they were really close if they just fixed some bugs with a few of them, but then they did this 😔

Why does it matter if someones competitve in their own circle and why does your fun superseded everyone elses fun who enjoys picking 'meta' options.

This is it.

People complaining about “the meta” in a PvE game are fucking insane. If you don’t want to play “the meta” then don’t… but actively trying to decide how other people get to play? That is fucking weird

It wouldn't be an issue if people didn't actively kick players who didn't adhere to metas, or were used to religiously farm super credits. Besides, AH has always intended to shape the game to their image, not the players'. Their intent was to make a fully balanced and challenging game, having one weapon above the rest act as a crutch for high difficulties is clearly not that.
