Good god yes bring it back. Aren’t you all sick of the bland laser vomit meta? Everything gets nerfed to oblivion so that’s all we have left. Now you all want to nerf lasers too. My solution is to roll back all the nerfs. Make it all viable and deadly.
The GH and constant nerfing are stupid. Look at the pitiful state of the game now, with half the mechs virtually unplayable and half the weapons utter garbage. Know how we got here? Because the legions of moron spuds constantly calling to nerf anything that works. PGI should release a mod for all you guys: every weapon does 1 dmg, cone of fire RNG, and has a 10 second cooldown. Your perfect “thinking man’s shooter” with incredible TTK, you guys would love it.
And this is exactly why I am saying that every tier should have their own balancing schemes rather than 1 size fits all.
Look at LRMs as an example. Bads cry about it in T5 because
1. They do not have the knowledge to mitigate it
2. They do not have the skill points or resources to mitigate it due to just entering the game
Look at LRMs in T1. Everyone laughs at it because almost everyone
1. either has the Skill points or resources to mitigate it
2. have the map knowledge to dodge it
Therefore just set it so that (and this is just a stupid example, just insert your own values or weapon examples) in lower tier matches, players get damage reduction and in higher tier matches, players get x2 damage
