I do appreciate the approach of “buff weaker stuff” to bring up the power level, rather than nerfing the meta.

ed.

This blog post is great.

The Orbital Precision Strikes original intent was to be used against spawners and fixed positions. However this hasn’t stopped the community from using it against pretty much everything

Every other developer “So we nerfed it into the ground”

Arrowhead:

Therefore we want to make it a little easier to use against moving targets by lowering the call in time. We also lowered the cooldown to make it more available and to make it more competitive in comparison to Eagle stratagems.

Tbf that might be what they would have done a few months ago. Ever since the Eruptor, they stopped "nerfing" stuff. Now don't get me wrong, the community is a bunch of crybabies, but I appreciate the new approach just like you said.

I can't even watch ohdough videos anymore. His response to the heavy pistol in polar patriots was "I didn't try it but it's bad. I want to dual wield deagles."

Line shit, be negative if you have to but how the hell are you gonna review something you didn't even use?

Ohdough is hard for me to watch at all. He expresses everything through an lens of disappointment. His takes are very strong and don't have space for other people's perspectives/uses. Empathy for other use cases.

Just saw him whining like a bitch for getting timed out in the hd2 discord server. I only watched a few of his vids to get patch note info while driving to work, I didn't know he was such a consistent shithead.
