Only time can tell. Remember fists are a bit different from other melee weapons, they tend to be exceptions to blanket buffs. Honestly I would have rathered LSM get a melee elite like everyone else for now, then add ranged elites in a second wave. Removes the unnecessary power differences between them imo.
I believe this is caused by the fact that it is a mere skin for the standard tactical marine loadout with bumped stats and fire dmg. So chill, it's not OP p2w yet
Actually LotD being better then all other elites is factually correct. You can not say anything about Eldar elite as it does not exist currently in the game. So currently the LotD does in fact beat the other elites, will this statement be true once we know what the Eldar elite will be like that will be decided when it's data is released.
Still, I hardly think we need another damage increase on arguably one of the best guns in the game. This is like having a CQC mod for Stormbolters/Combibolters.
No it would be more like adding a long barrel for them to remove them from just CQC , improve accruecy and slighty add recoil heh but ya it aint needed but as it has become LOTD thing its being added not much to do but carry on and learn to fight it.
