Very true. They could've just given it greater damage falloff when hipfiring since they literally said in the TWAB the problem with the gun was: [quote]it's far too good at spamming hip-fire shots at long range[/quote] Instead, they nerfed it's RoF, which in return makes its hipfire ttk worse than almost every primary you will see in the crucible. No point really using it anymore since you should lose duels against competent players using guns with a better ttk.
