It was the best gun for the first section of the CE raid. Throw on MIDA and some Don't Touch Me gauntlets and it was almost like a cheese. MIDA has always been a good weapon...it's just new in yr2 and dropped right after a patch that hurt PRs. Of course it's popular right now. Plenty of weapons compete with it, though, so I think it's all good. Give the herd a few weeks and they'll gravitate to whatever popular youtubers tell them to use. Just because meta players have no creativity and can't think for themselves doesn't mean MIDA is broken.
