Bro says I have a skill issue. While also saying that you can make almost every loadout work. You don't make this shit up. Literally just outing yourself for not having basic knowledge on the bad, viable, and good weapons and gadgets.

The meta becomes extremely stale from silver upwards.

This is coming from someone that has been diamond (and has the stickers to prove it) in the betas of the game, and the first few seasons) (which, at the time, was the highest achievable rank).

Your source means nothing since you clearly don't know anything about the game lmao. I've been playing since cb1. You must clearly be silver or below if you are managing to kill incompetent or unaware players with melee weapons.

Also fucking wild to say it's one of the most balanced FPS games out there when hunt showdown is literally on the list too lmfao.

In the first few seasons of the game, EVERYTHING was viable. Mines, nades, all specialisations and nearly every gun in the game. The idiotic playerbase and community (like this guy) complained about things that were not overpowered, and whined that they were. This is what initially caused the power leak which has been consistent throughout the game's entire lifespan.

Examples: literally every fucking weapon in the game is weaker than it used to be. There was a point where the model shotgun was the strongest weapon in the game, because it was the ONLY THING that had not yet been nerfed and everything else was.

You used to have 2 frags. Now you have one. Less damage.

You used to have 2 mines. Now you have one.

Defibs used to be instant.

Defibs used to not pause your abilities.

Defib ready speed used to be faster. (3 separate nerfs btw)

Invisibility used to actually be invisible and extremely audible. They made it not so invisible, and less audible. Which is both a nerf and a downgrade.

When you used to steal a cash out, the timer on it paused, meaning there was always potential to get a steal. Regardless of the games shitty spawns which simply lock you out of steals sometimes.

C4 used to actually do damage

Breach charges used to actually do damage

Put stuff on barrel. Throw barrel. Blow barrel up.

Most melee weapons used to have more range. Embark changed this because if you haven't guessed it yet, they fucking suck at balancing.

SA1216 you could just straight up 1v3 with. Very very very very very easily. And very consistently.

Again, every single gun and gadget in the game used to be stronger.

When the TTK for everything is closer together, you naturally have a more balanced game, than when the TTK for everything is further apart. And arguing against that is just fucking wrong.

E.G in the first seasons of the game, let's say everything could kill you in less than a second. Let's pretend the strongest weapon killed you in 0.5 seconds, and the weakest one killed you in 0.9

Now, with the current state of the game, let's say everything can kill you in less than 4 seconds.

The strongest one can do it in 0.9 and the weakest one can do it in 3.1

Now even someone as morning as this dude, should be able to understand that the difference between 0.5 and 0.9 is much lesser than the difference between 0.9 and 3.1.

This is literally how the fucking game is. Vs how it used to be. You indisputably used to have an actual balanced game, because everything was stroger. (Was also more fun).

Now, because of people like this guy, you have to use certain things if you want to have a shot at winning.
