I think no land wouldn't even have been good if it HAD been included in the first round of sniper flinch nerfs. They probably didn't nerf it's flinch because of the spike in use, but because of the fact that it was left out. The nerf also happened because the gun is supposed to be used in skilled hands, not by someone who likes using meta weapons. But I think it really needs a nerf in impact slightly so it can't Rez snipe out of the gate. In year 2 it's wasn't able to but now it can. With a nerf to the impact I think they would need a buff to the master ( which increases precision damage for a short time for 7 seconds ) to about 10 or 12, making it able to Rez snipe, so instead of gunning someone down with your sidearm, then shooting their head when they self rez, it would require NLB to actually BE a skill weapon, not just something everyone can be successful with. The nerf was probably a joint combination of the overuse, non inclusion in the nerf, AND the use of less higher impact weapons now, making it seem less flinchy. And the nerf didn't kill the weapon use at all. Today I was running trials and saw multiple no lands. It's still a great weapon but now it takes skill to use.

I agree with the 'why it got nerfed.' And I definitely agree that it's still usable. However, I want to point out that it has always required skill to use. It took me since HoW to master that thing.
