Nerf this ... nerf that. Someday's I'd honestly love to NERF the nerf. So to speak. I get it, some weps are out of whack. One day though your favorite weapon will be hit with the Nerf hammer and you too will QQ.

Is a wack a mole with nerfs.

Oh I doubt that. I loved ppcs back when they required skill. Then Useless pug loving PGI buffed them ridiculously and now they're just... pathetic.

I disgust myself whenever I have to use them.

I read somewhere they are not happy with matches being decided too fast. Esp. with 12v12 coming and the tendency of 1-2ppl down=match lost, I agree with that and weapons getting toned down. Another thing is to break them.

To be fair they were kind of bad before HSR but so rewarding when you pegged that Jenner out at 700m.

You have an interesting short memory. I remember why PPC's were buffed and it had to do with the fact PPC's mightily sucked compared to autocannons prior to the buff.

PPC's became OP once these items were implemented
Stalkers
Jump Jet capable mechs whom could reasonably shoot several PPC's + Gauss
HSR
Projectile speed increase
Heat reduction

Like many things, PGI's fixes often seem to swing a weapon dramatically one way or another (see LRM's / SRM's / Gauss / Small Pulse Lasers) for reference. At times I wish the changes were a bit more incremental rather than seeing the Buff or Nerf hammer all the time.

How about BUFF and/or Re-Program what has remained in the trashcan, like LB-X, MG's, NARC.

I would welcome:

A Mech with 2 MG's destroying me like MW3
Being Sniped by LB10-X and exploding in glory
Getting NARC'ed and SRM and/or LRM tracked to death

Death by Variety.

if you got MG to death you had to something very very wrong!

A odd idea I had... or stole, LBX cannons get a 5 point slug and 5 points Grape shot?

Narc should be til section is removed.

2 MG's kill pretty easily in MW3, if you aim for the weak spots. Excellent close range weapon in that compared to trashcan MWO MG.

the nerf is less powerful than a mg right now, it needs a buff
