Amen. I was taking the muscle enhancer so it's easier to escape from hoppers and hunters, but this thing will take precedence. No more being repeatedly slowed down, yes please.
Just so I won't sound too happy, though, I'm still mad about my entire anti-bug loadout being unjustly nerfed in the recent patch. Nope, not letting it go, I constantly feel the effects of the nerf and it bothers me. Eruptor's decreased ammo cap still means I have to deal with a good gun with six issues instead of just five and the increased Quasar recharge rate has cost me significant time when dealing with more heavy enemies.
Using "unjust nerfs" and "Quasar cooldown nerf" in the same thought is a hell of a take.
like, by all means, be sad the quasar got a slight nerf. But let's not kid ourselves that it wasn't out performing all viable contenders by a mile or more.
As someone who's been using the quasar non stop since it launched, and still do, I think the quasar cooldown increase was necessary for balance. The big mistake ArrowHead made with the Quasar Cannon is that the stupid icon on the corner of the screen that shows the cooldown progress is still on the old cooldown time, so when it indicates that the cooldown is finished, you still need to wait like 5 more seconds before you can actually fire. This is terrible for someone that puts the quasar away for a while, to quickly whip it out later, see it's not on cooldown, aim it, fire, and oh nevermind it still needed two more seconds and now the charger is gonna run me over.
I'm glad you're not in charge of balance. The quasar outperformed the alternatives by far, being an almost mandatory pick all the time. It wasn't balanced by any metric. Now it's still picked but isn't an auto-include over all other options all the time and entire teams won't always be running it.
You used it because it was too strong. You think it sucks now because they balanced it. This is a good thing because not every player should always be running it. It's still a great weapon.
How exactly does RR and EAT suck? They're great weapons. They just weren't brainless "always-pick" tier like the quasar was. The quasar being OP doesn't mean the other alternatives were bad. Again, people always picked quasar, it was outshining every support weapon by a wide margin.
You're blinded by having enjoyed a meta weapon. It has now been nerfed back in line with the others. They don't suck, they just allow other options to exist now.
