Whose big brain idea was it to alt+F4 the only used hand cannon archetype? How are you gonna look at 2 straight seasons of Gnawing Hunger and Revoker, and nerf hand cannons harder than autos, and leave Revoker and Arbalest alone? You’re worried about an over abundance of hand cannons? It’s been Gnawing Hunger/Summoner/Revoker central. Seriously who the hell is making the decisions in the sandbox changes...

The decision has become to punish precision weaponry and slow them to the point where they will be significantly less competitive. This while maintaining virtually recoilless weapons with 43+ bullets in a clip that enjoy the range of pulse rifles and dominate submachine guns of the same rpm. It would have made more sense to make 140s into 150s and you would see less dire/spares. It makes very little sense to run anything other than Suros, Vigilance, or side arms/shotty unless we see an influx of new PvP maps... As it has been presented. The Gnawing/Summon/Suros will be most prevalent. The people that want to tell others they don't rely on Autos will slaughter with Vigi. And Hunters will be slowing you in the darkest corners of the maps with short-range dominated.
