It was the patch that got me to stop playing. Why you would nerf weapons in a non-competitive game rather than make poor preforming weapons viable is beyond me.

It's akin to Steve Jobs telling everyone they're holding their phone wrong.

This is a dumb take.

If there was a gun that 1 tapped every enemy in the game and had infinite ammo and maybe even auto aimed for you, that would suck a lot of the fun out of the game wouldn't it?

Would you not want that gun to be nerfed or would you want every gun in the game to become a 1 tap super weapon?

Good thing you get to choose which gun you use. I personally would love that weapon. I've got two kids and a full time job. I need a nerf mode. The rest of y'all can use whatever other guns you like. But give me the BFG and let me have my fun.

This game has like ten difficulty options. If you need the BFG on easy mode then you probably are just bad at videogames.

So what. Let me be bad at video games and still enjoy it. Not everything needs to be a side hustle, maxed out, semi-pro, rise and grind. I just want to have a hobby, even if I'm shit at it forever, because it's fun.

You should try it sometime. It's a much less stressful and actually enjoyable way to live.

Yea, that's why difficulty easier than "impossible" and "helldive" exist, so that you can enjoy the game on your time.

But when other players want their guns to be of roughly equal value, so that they don't feel pressured to not take the meta, that's not a bad thing imo
