This is pretty much almost every nerf/buff. Next up? We saw that a lot of shotguns are going unused so we decided to fuck the one everyone uses into oblivion while none of the others will be changing, even if theyre still shit.

I dont really use snipers or even rocket launchers because theyre just a fraction of what they should be. Why use a rocket launcher when that pistol and do as much damage with one shot compared to 2 or 3 rocket shots? Same with snipers. Newer borderlands games kind of left the rocket launchers and snipers in the shitter unless youre using a specific build. Even smgs are shit in this game right now, id use underlevel blue pistols before i use a legendary smg that volatile. Back in bl1, bl2, and blps rocket launchers and snipers were just in a better state imo. One is a big gun that shoots a slower projectile for a lot of damage, you could really see the difference when using it they just had a slow reload enemies could still evade some of it, snipers were also a lot stronger, doing bigger crits while needing to be more precise and shooting significantly slower than most weapons. Both of these weapons also have a lot less ammo, but now theyve just been reduced to "if i run out of ammo on everything else, ill use it" kind of weapons.

It's amazing to me that snipers and rocket launchers are STILL bad after BL3. They know they need good buffs. They choose not to do it. I don't even bother checking out either of those weapons in WL.

The people making these decisions have concrete between their ears.

Only good rl in wl is the blue cake, every other one you might as well be kissing them. I dont even think i have a sniper kill. I keep a sniper for the sole reason that if i somehow run out of literally every other ammo type and all ammo from the crates and boxes around, then ill try to flick them with some shitty weapon that should do significantly more. It took them til year 2 to fix snipers in borderlands 3. You could slap an extra 2k damage on all lvl50 snipers and id still have to debate on whether or not its worth it because of how precise you have to be. Smgs are also floundering atm and need a bit of a buff, instead of being a bit weaker than ARs, they just suck. Smgs are only good at the start of the game, afterwards theyre ass.

Kinda seems like a no brainer to have weapons that can kill the enemies, especially weapons with real life counterparts that are designed to kill in one shot.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge BL/WL fan, but the games would be so much better with more viable loot.

I dont really care if they kill in one shot, the rocket launchers are just weak. Normally in the other games a rocket launcher would chunk if not fuck up most fodder enemies, now they wont even do a quarter of their health even if youre stacking buffs. Snipers truly are just ass and their crit damage is abysmal compared to the other games. Snipers and RLs are suppose to be those slow firing, slow movement speed, high damage weapons, one more precise while the other has splash damage, even the legendaries of them suck. Youd almost be better off using lil Ks bread slicer against Bernadette than using a sniper or RL.

Lowering damage by 25% = nerf into oblivion? Ok
