Omnioculus, the hunter chestpiece giving you damage resistance while invisible, used to be insane in PvP but the resist was nerfed pretty significantly and its in an OK spot now, still a top choice but not as hard to counter. Now Gyrfalcon's hauberk, a hunter chestpiece giving you extra damage after emerging from invisibility, has quickly become the top pick meta choice since it got re-enabled last week, for hopefully obvious reasons. Radar manipulation in a game where radar is this important is strong on its own. Just the ability to make yourself an unknown presence until you are on your enemy's screen while meanwhile you can see them the whole time is very good. When you throw damage modifications, both to what you deal and what you recieve, on top of that inherent strength, problems arise. Omnioculus made this logic clear and I would argue that gyrfalcon is significantly worse because you dont have to stay invisible to have the benefit. If you go invisible and then jump on someone on a flank with a pulse rifle or up close around a corner with an smg or sidearm, they stand absolutely no chance; They dont see you, and when they see you for the first time you are already shooting them with extra damage leaving little time to react. This makes the meta even more passive than it already was before. People are afraid to push anything because the normal sense of awareness that you get from the radar is removed, suddenly PvP becomes a literal horror game where at any given time someone can jump around a corner with a drang that kills you in five shots, an SMG that kills you faster than a MP5 in a cod game, or a high impact pulse doing over 40 to the head per bullet. Yes I am aware that you can play around it, you can listen to audio cues, you can beat people who use it. But similar to when One eyed mask was as strong as it was, you have to go so far out of your way to counter it that the flow of games is destroyed and there is so semblance of fun anymore, for anyone. Before you say I am just complaining because I cant win with a hand cannon and a shotgun or whatever your argument is, I have this in response: I am able to beat people who use gyrfalcon. The top of the skill bracket are not the ones being hurt by this meta. It is the people in the middle and at the bottom who do not have the game sense, the awareness, the predictive ability to counter invis and know how to play around something like this. For me it is annoying but I can handle it, might lose a game to it now and then. Casual, even somewhat above average players will never even come close to beating a team of good players with Gyrfalcon, the gap is astoundingly wide. Those are the people most affected by a meta this.
