For me: (still) MIDA (love that thing as always, long before it was cool) The Summoner (my second Mercury chest drop) - it's gonna be more powerful finally Monte Carlo (love that gun) Fusion rifles (people still have no clue how to use them) - I have Panta Rhei and Thesan with max stability and rangefinder and am still looking for that god roll on Split Shifter Pro (once I find it, shotguns can SIT DOWN) [spoiler]Wanna know how strong they are now (before the buff)? I'll send you my montage from last week ;)[/spoiler] All around: SUROS Regime with focused fire is gonna be -blam!-ing beast, maybe even the new sweats gun, it can cross map you now, again :) [spoiler]I forsee everyone and their grandmother using it, again[/spoiler] Spare Change .25 The Messenger Dreg's Promise - now it's a real exotic gun at least Hawkmoon - finally you can at least hit your shots consistently, for -blam!- sake What is not gonna be the meta: Thorn (can -blam!- off) - happy to see it leave the arena of sweats. Stick that 3 body shot kill up your ass now TLW - now you really have to know how to use it to melt (I don't, never did) Snipers - I'm glad they adressed them, it was getting -blam!-ing rediculus with how easy they could be used in all distances. I live how they play in this game, but they needed to tone it down. Won't affect krafty, but it will affect average Joe guardian Ice Breaker/Sidearm cheese (just -blam!- off with that now, go suck on a wall) Shotgun sunsingers - can't punch your way up the ELO list anymore Fast rez - "...and stay dead!" I can not tell you how many times my team went leaps and bounds ahead of the opposing team KD-wise in Trials and still lost. I actually met a guy in a raid that told me how his team used a strat where two of them would die on purpose, then he would rez them quickly and they would quickly demolish the opposing team with 3 overshielded people in Trials. Sounds crazy, I know. But it worked.
