Icebreaker still has damage drop-off over long range. Having a maxed out stat bar doesn't mean its no longer affected by it. The balancing (nerfs) of Icebreaker came from PvE, not PvP. All the players wanting to blame PvP players for their IB not being as effective as Y1 need to stop. If you're trying to use IB as your main weapon, you're not going to have a good time. You trade off a large ammo pool for not having to run around to get more ammo.
