[quote]slightly Nerfing Autos[/quote]
I don't think you know how numbers work. They are reducing Auto crit damage from 15.75 to 14.25 (previously 13.75 in Season of the Worthy). That means ARs are getting 75% of their crit damage increase removed. I would consider that more than slight.
For me, I don't really mind that 140 was chosen over 150, the only part about it that doesn't really make sense is now we have 120 RPM vs 140 RPM, which is not a huge difference, I'm wondering if 120s will be overshadowed by 140s, we will have to wait and see.

You are correct and it WOULD be a significant enough nerf IF they left 150's as... 150's. What happens now is: 600 RPM going from 0.73 to 0.8 ttk and the changes from the best TTK HC is: 0.8 (150 ttk) to 0.87 (140 ttk) So, all they did was make the 2 primaries slower yet still have AR's on top. One of the most used archetypes are becoming slower, that is it. And that is the issue a lot have because nothing will change. The difference in TTK is still the same but they are both now slower and ARs are still more forgiving than HC's.

Umm, 15.75 being lowered to 14.25 is not a 75% reduction in damage. Damage would only be 3.94 per bullet if it was lowered by 75 percent.

Starting Equation: [quote]"ARs are getting 75% of their crit damage increase removed"[/quote] Equation 1: [quote]"their crit damage increase" = 15.75 - 13.75 = 2 damage[/quote] Equation 2: [quote]"75% of their crit damage increase" = "75% of" 2 damage = 0.75*2 damage = 1.5 damage[/quote] Substitute Equation 2 into Starting Equation: [quote]"ARs are getting 1.5 damage removed"[/quote] The maths checks out. My point was to say that ARs were not meta or OP in Season of the Worthy, so bringing us 75% of the way back to that point means that ARs are getting more than a slight nerf.

Ar’s will be .08 HC’ .87 It’s the same thing.

True, going from 150 to 140 is a nerf for all 150 HCs, although, worth noting it is NOT a nerf for current 140s, Old Fashioned and Ace of Spaces in particular will become much more viable. The additional range will also increase effective TTK for HCs at longer ranges. I would have preferred to see a longer range buff for 140s and especially 120s. It is a step in the right direction, but I agree it is not far enough. My only point was saying ARs only got a slight nerf is not properly representing the change. In Season of the Worthy, ARs were not meta, not even close. Now we are reverting 75% of the initial change, so even though ARs will still be viable, they will not be the meta pick.

Overlooked the word increase in your post, I stand corrected.
