An actually serious answer though: The kannon needs a nerf to damage so that indirect hits won't instakill And it needs a nerf to unbraced accuracy so you can't use it as a sniper rifle
The only thing I can really see being "nerfed" sooner or later is the Kannon. Maybe the suppression being removed from Ace Dakka? Those are the only two things I could imagine and tbh I don't really care about the 2nd one that much.
Honestly I'd be fine with the Kannon getting a damage nerf to "downed and halfway to bleedout for the average character" like the Plasmacannon is now instead of the "fuck you and everyone around you" it is now, as well as a more apparent smoke for both nerf and funzies. As long as the reload speed and firerate don't change I'm good with most of the changes people are asking for. I'm not sure how I feel about the damage to vehicles however. I find it really, really useful and it's gotten me a lot of vehicle kills that I'd have to redeploy to another class on every other faction otherwise but the other factions don't really have an equivalent as a result so I can see it going away for the purposes of balance.
There probably wouldn't be a need to nerf the kannon if they actually implemented the heavy weapon mods. One ammo type for anti-vehicle (current damage but with little to no AoE), another one for anti-personnel (less damage but with current AoE), maybe even the Napalm Deffgun could be a simple ammo mod and not an entirely separate weapon. ~edit: wait, does the kannon have an ammo mod slot? I know the rokkit launcher does at least...
Just popping in here from an not crazy LSM perspective. Yes, I think that the Kannon's are annoying as hell when having to go up against them. But I have yet to really see that stop an organized team from putting up a solid fight or winning matches. The difference between playing with pubs and playing with my Clan on LSM is night and day. Even stacked against other Ork clans we can still compete and win through strategy and skill. I am more than happy being my clan's volunteer to spend the whole match sniping Kannons with my Stalker Bolter. So I will see ya out there!
I just want the Kannon AOE to be Nerfed if it hits me direct or right next to me then i am fine with dieing but if it hits the wall near me (but not right next to me) or hits the floor like a half foot away (as in out of the blast radius or near the edge of it) then i should be hurting like maybe half hp but i should not be 1 hit or hell nearly dead with vets or hp/armor stacked classes like apo/GA when starting out with full hp/armor.
Honestly? I'd welcome them with open arms. I'd see less horrid Orks relying on broken weapons to win and see them put more effort into proper places. And if the Devs do take note and look at the Ork faction, all the better, there's a LOT of work to be done to improve stuff too like the shoddy cameras, glitchy/choppy animations, slow weapon speeds, not just plain nerf / buffs to weapons because one's underperforming or vice versa. In layman's terms: Every Nerf makes us stronger.
