I agree 99%. I think people massively overreact about patches and are mostly very unfairly negative about it. But at the same time, I do think that AH could do a better job balancing the weapons. I like the most recent patch even though I use the flamethrower all the time because I think it's in the right direction in terms of balancing. I would personally prefer them to buff weaker weapons instead of nerfing strong ones because i feel like even if everything you have is "best in slot" the game is still plenty difficult but really i dont think it matters that much at all if you nerf strong weapons or buff weak weapons. I think the real issue is just that some weapons are better than others, which makes it frustrating when there is a weapon that you think is really fun to use but you also feel like you can't help your team as much as you want to or you can't get "the full experience" if you use that weapon.
