No Land Beyond: Rant

Please tell me why some of you guys on the forums think No Land Beyond is OP or takes no skill to use. I am curious what your line of thinking is because.... (1) it doesn't even have that high AA. (2) reload glitch doesn't always work, and the misfire can get you killed. (3) It may say it is a Medium/High Impact type but it starts you off with a 292 Headshot until "The Master" is active. (4) You still have a ridiculous flinch when being fired at, and unless the target is standing still most NLB users won't land the headshot in mid-fire fight. (5) No one said anything about it until they nerfed snipers across the board and Clever Dragon became the meta. Literally everyone that complains about NLB only started when the new Clever-Meta started. (6) You may spawn with Ammo but you lose having an actual primary. Like seriously? Everyone bitching when they have the most OP set up in the game. If you miss your shot, the Clever Dragon or Matador will eat you alive every time (Hell even TLW users do). (7) NLB is only as good as your aim, it is not very forgiving with headshots because of the unique sight. (8) It isn't a weapon that anyone can pick up and get kills with (Like the Clever Dragon or Mapadork) (9) Mulligan sometimes -blam!-s up your reload glitch attempt so you have to wait to fire your weapon anyways. (10) It was rated the most underused and useless exotic in the beginning. Hell people asked for buffs or tweaks with it because it was underused. Now that it is being used, people are calling it OP or needs a nerf? Shame on all of you who disrespect NLB and it's good name. Pick it up yourself and use it until the update happens (see how OP it is then). *Edits/Update* I had no idea my rant was going to be getting this many likes and responses. Thank you all who have discussed this, it has brought some insight and I would like to share some of my thoughts about what people are saying about the gun. *Edit/Update #2* A couple comments made me realize I could of been a little lengthy with my first edit and could of seemed like I was singling out some responses. Removed to keep to the point. *Edit 3* Critical is 292-293. Confirmed. Have a great night Guys, I am tired and I enjoyed all the responses. It was fun and did not expect to see this post trend like it has. It was simply me getting my frustrations out of people bashing my current favorite exotic. Have a wonderful day Guardians. Use what you like. Whether OP or not, because come the 14th this meta will change and NLB will still be my baby.

    [quote](1) it doesn't even have that high AA.[/quote] It has a higher AA than Ice Breaker or Event Horizon. AA is 50. That's quite a bit. [quote](2) reload glitch doesn't always work, and the misfire can get you killed.[/quote] As you said, it's a glitch. A glitch should not be kept in the game in any way. [quote](3) It may say it is a Medium/High Impact type but it starts you off with a 232 Headshot until "The Master" is active.[/quote] So? A headshot is a kill, doesn't matter if "The Master" is active or not. [quote](4) You still have a ridiculous flinch when being fired at, and unless the target is standing still most NLB users won't land the headshot in mid-fire fight.[/quote] It's a low zoom sniper so the flinch is definitely not "ridiculous" first of all. Second, the flinch is only visual, if you aimed at the head and shoot while flinched without moving the scope, it's still a headshot even if your scope is not on the target. [quote](5) No one said anything about it until they nerfed snipers across the board and Clever Dragon became the meta. Literally everyone that complains about NLB only started when the new Clever-Meta started.[/quote] Yes, because like already said, the flinch is only visual and because of that the sniper flinch doesn't really matter for NLB and QBB. [quote](6) You may spawn with Ammo but you lose having an actual primary. Like seriously? Everyone bitching when they have the most OP set up in the game. If you miss your shot, the Clever Dragon or Matador will eat you alive every time (Hell even TLW users do).[/quote] Why do you think most NLB useres pair it with a sidearm? [quote](7) NLB is only as good as your aim, it is not very forgiving with headshots because of the unique sight.[/quote] Once you know how to use the sight, it's as forgiving like every other sniper. Even more, since the flinch is only visual. Every sniper is just as good as oyur aim, but NLB is not affected by the flinch. [quote](8) It isn't a weapon that anyone can pick up and get kills with (Like the Clever Dragon or Mapadork)[/quote] I'm not a good sniper at all. Picked up the NLB in a match and just went around quickscoping everyone. Yes, everone can pick it up and get kills with it. [quote](9) Mulligan sometimes -blam!-s up your reload glitch attempt so you have to wait to fire your weapon anyways.[/quote] So, you complain about a perk on the weapon to -blam!- up a glitch? Like stated above, the reload glitch should not even exists. [quote](10) It was rated the most underused and useless exotic in the beginning. Hell people asked for buffs or tweaks with it because it was underused. Now that it is being used, people are calling it OP or needs a nerf?[/quote] It was underused because the UR and Sniper combo was better than NLB and shotgun. Now UR got a nerf and a regular Mapador is better than UR and through the only visual flinch, NLB is better than any other sniper. Now I'm not asking for a nerf on this weapon. I'm asking to fix the glitches. reload glitch shouldn't be a thing and the flinch shouldn't only be visual. That's it.
