Bump. Sorry I had to leave early. That's the problem with living on the east east coast. Stupid time zones. But yeah, I think it's safe to say that any popular weapon or subclass is simply the result of the nerfs to other weapons or subclasses. They get crappier, so people stop using them. Other stuff gets used more. It becomes "popular" and gets nerfed. And so the meta turns. Stupid way to run a game, if you ask me.
