Patch 1 – Nerf autos, Buff pulses, Nerf scouts, Buff handcannons, Nerf snipers, Nerf shotguns Patch 2 – Nerf autos, Buff handcannons, Nerf shotguns Patch 3 – HUGE buff to Thorn Do you see a trend? Let’s do something Patch 4 – Nerf autos, Buff pulses, Nerf fusions, Nerf shotguns Or Not??? Why are Thorn and Last Word so good at this point in time? HOW Era! Patch 5 – Nerf overall special ammo Patch 6 –Buff autos ( still unusable ), Buff pulses, Buff scouts, Nerf handcannons, Buff shotguns, Buff fusions, Buff sidearms, HUUGGEEE PERK NERF ON PRIMARYS ACROSS THE BOARD, Fix (nerf) to Thorn Last Word and Hawkmoon Patch 7 – Nerf shotguns Patch 8 – Buff autos ( still unusable ), Nerf pulses, Buff handcannons, Nerf shotguns ( still OP at this point, probably due to the slower TTK on everything?), Buff snipers, Buff sidearms Now we’re in everyone’s favorite sniper meta! ( you can’t challenge a sniper with weak primaries! ) Patch 9 – Buff autos ( still unusable ), Buff pulses, Nerf snipers, Nerf shotguns, Buff fusions, Patch 10 – Nerf handconnons, Nerf autos Patch 11 – Buff pulses, Nerf autos, Nerf snipers, Buff sidearms, Current Patch – Buff handcannons, Buff autos, Delete special from the game ( excluding NLB and sidearms), Buff pulses, Buff scouts, Nerf shotguns I probably missed a few ( ya know hotfixes and specific weapon tuneing ) but let’s tally... Auto Rifles – Nerfs ( 5 ) Buffs ( 4 ) Conclusion -> Still bad Pulse Rifles – Nerfs ( 1 ) Buffs ( 6 ) Conclusion -> Always been competitive Scout Rifles – Nerfs ( 1 ) Buffs ( 1 ) Conclusion -> Mida has always been meta Hand Cannons – Nerfs ( 2 ) Buffs ( 5 ) Conclusion -> Have they ever been bad? Snipers – Nerfs ( 5 ) Buffs ( 1 ) Conclusion -> Sit at spawn with Skorri while ADS Shotguns – why even bother, they’ve been a problem since release, delete them to beat them! Nerfs ( 8 ) Buffs ( 0 ) Fusion Rifles – Nerfs ( 3 ) Buffs ( 2 ) Conclusion -> Saladin’s Vigil Sidearms – Nerfs ( 0 ) Buffs ( 3 ) Conclusion -> Why did they make this gun meta? Total – Nerfs ( 25 ) Buffs ( 22 ) Conlusion -> complete wrong way to go about it, this method is completely inaccurate, illogical and a waste of time. Feel dumber for reading this... Nerfs outweigh Buffs GG Bungo make TTK better for primarys.
