Not trying to defend it, but he might have an alt.

Doubtful, due to the changes, but one can hope. Truth might be that most of the people at PGI might actually just be bad at the game they made. Which would be delicious irony.

There is also the fact that Paul can Veto anything Chris puts forth that he doesn't like. When you consider that, then things actually make sense. Paul is still the grand overlord of balance, and Chris is little more that an idea farm and an anti-criticism shield.

Clearly, none of them are going to the finals at MechCon. I'm not even sure we'll see a missile launcher outside SRM Assassins there.

The response to this was to make second-and-third rate guided missile launchers harder to use, and discourage direct-fire by nerfing Artemis/increasing ATM spread, punishing what was "good" behavior for missileboats...and making the only missile type worth using at the top (SRMs) barely notice, as comp-level builds weren't using Artemis anyway.

It was great at making LRMs weaker, though. Not that PGI will see any at their premiere E-sport events.

Exactly that! Lrms at around 300m with backup weapons in line of sight are actually not that bad when you push with the team and share your armor at the front. Now you get punished for "good" behavior with an anyway only situational ok performing weaponsystem. The only good thing about this patch is the ballistic velocity increase.

The problem with all these nerfs is that they will YET AGAIN alienate people and make huge numbers of people quit the game..

I don't think large numbers quit, but do think it makes people cancel pre orders, and each time less people re order or spend money than before
