If you consider every part of the weapon adjusted to be worse then yes. And really thats pretty much the definition of it. Like I said, on my loota I dont think the accuracy was changed, but he was never very accurate to begin with.
Yep, definitely a win for Orks considering their weapons were never accurate to begin with. I can hear them now: "You didn't really think we'd risk the future of the universe in a firefight against Heavy Bolters, did you? No, we had an ace in the hole ... predictable nerfing. We took your HB and brought it down to our level ..."
Please tell me LSM got some buffs elsewhere to compensate? I feel like TSM will be just fine since they have other strengths as discussed in length in other threads.
You might still feel dirty. Like "I could be doing something useful for my team like capping instead" dirty.
This is what really bothers me about the way the devs do things. It is like they are doing it out of spite due to all the bitching on the forum and to hell with balance across all factions. HB's did not need the orbital nerf cannon applied to it on the whole, it just needed looking at in terms of sniping while bracing. It's the same thing they did with SoC, bypass middle ground and head straight to useless. I bloody hope HB equivs got the same treatment now else its just going to show devs are just pandering to all the salt on the forum without giving a flying fook how it will play out in game on the whole. I said in other thread earlier to give the devs a chance as they should know what they are doing but if this is true then I take that back.
see what they did there? just remove hit recognition and everythings crap now! lololo good dancer u know...
The HB nerf is really small against infantry. The big nerf is that no longers eats the metal of the vehicles.
