It's pretty obvious that most people don't understand the difference between the two. Things that are strong (for example, the last word, shotguns, we'll throw shoulder charge in there as well cause everyone's bitching about it!) are effective at what they do. They provide an advantage but only when used where they are meant to be used. Even though they are powerful up close, they do have a weakness, that being their range (obviously!). Same goes for snipers at close range, you can get lucky but they are inconsistent and difficult to use close up. Things that are "op" have almost no counter or counterplay. Easy examples are yr1 last word and thorn. They had the fastest times to kill and were effective up close and far away. No other weapons at any range (excluding shotguns at point blank and snipers at the absolute furthest of ranges) could counter them in any way. So before saying something is "op" because you died to it a few times, ask yourself, "could I have escaped that engagement or played differently so that I wouldn't have been killed by (whatever weapon or ablility)". If the answer is yes, which it will be most of the time, said weapon or ability is probably not OP. So please don't go crying for a nerf. That ruins the game for everyone else. Thanks, hope this helps!
