The changes did absolutely nothing to address the main problem with PvP - the Spare Rations meta. All it did was neuter a few outliers and give AR's an extra bodyshot of forgiveness. A tiny bandage on a big gushing wound. Not my idea of "fine".

Nerfing outliers is fine. Changing those mainstays would be great. I’m not upset they didn’t, it’s not like it has an insane time to kill, range or anything other than forgiveness, which plenty of other guns have. With the shotgun changes, Mindbender’s may not be the best shotgun, meaning Spare Rations + Mindbender’s may not be the best set, meaning people may have to unequip their Spare Rations. I think having Spare Rations be the meta for a little longer is the least of PvP’s concerns. If you get upset dying to a normal gun, with normal perks, with a normal kill time, idk what to say.

I'm so ready to see all this unfold. I'm a massive fan of the game and lore, but couldn't care less about balancing or grinding. All these people who waste hours of their lives and thousands of dollars just to cry when it gets taken away deserve all the pain this company and community give them

I just don’t understand how people are surprised. The only thing I’m upset about is a lack of buffs (which could come, we just haven’t heard many). The nerfs were honestly exactly what you’d expect. I think they hit some places a little too hard, some were just fine, and some may not really make a difference, but overall I’m not upset and I’m excited to see what comes out on top next season. I do feel bad for people who have just gotten the chance to get Izanagi’s and it’s catalyst recently though. I understand the frustration. But to make an omelette, you have to crack some eggs. Inevitably, someone will be upset.
