When they nerf doctrine and a new weapon takes its place will you complain again? It's the way it goes...people go to whatever weapon is the new "meta" and it becomes overused. Imo doctrine is fine as long as you keep range and use abilities to help keep that distance.

Well right now it doesn't seem like there is just any one meta weapon. There is a wide variety of usable weapons in every category. The only underused weapons are low RoF Autos, and if Doctrine wasn't beating them at their effective ranges than they would finally see some more light.

Problem with low rof isn't that doctrine is beating them, it's the 2nd tier beating them at those ranges, vanquisher 8 type. Curently the meta is high rof types beat out the lower rof weapons in all arch types. Pdx/hawksaw > red death...mida > last extremity variety...etc etc. The problem is ttk on those guns make the harder htters less efficient. However the high rof stuff against each other is really balanced. Doctrine types beat hawksaw up close but lose out in the midrange if you keep the distance, hawksaw wins mid range vs mida but loses in the longer ranges. Those types are balanced leaving the lower rof in no man's land

Actually the medium impact scouts are the worst in terms of time to kill. High impact are best in ttk. In a 1v1 if last extremity hits all headshots and Mida hits all headshots extremity will kill before mida gets 4th shot off.
