LAW: Over-nerfed?
« on: July 15, 2006, 11:05:45 am »
After playing on numerous servers, i've noticed the LAW has become less popular. Nearly nobody uses it, it seems.

I tried using it too, it's ridiculously hard to use properly. The startup time is just a little too much, i think.

Am i just seeing things, or is the LAW over-nerfed?

I use it. It's nice as it is, although I think it ought to have longer reload (maybe two more seconds) to compensate for completely killing the startup time.

You are correct. The LAW has been slightly over-nerfed. Mabye a decrease in that start-up time..

Eh, 75% of the secondaries are instakill, but the LAW is the only one with range. With that in mind, it is understandable to have it be almost a one-shotter with delay.

(I do think the reload should be decreased slightly though)

LAW should have a faster reload in trenchwars.
But the admins decide...

I removed a second of the LAW's reload. I'm pretty sure it won't have any further changes.

i think the reload should be reduced, the startup time has no effect on my elite Law skillz
Your acting like your having a duel and your opponent gets a pistol and you get a spork.
Isn't that pretty much what it is? I dunno wtf a spork is, I suppose it's way weaker than the pistol since you compared that to this.

My opinion on the law is that it it really underused, but it can easily be the best secondary in the right hands..law is really about the skill :).

I had no problem with the LAW before it was destroyed.

I personaly think it's fine:

+not over powered ridiculously like the m79
+not too little power like the minigun
+It's startup time is'nt too bad.
-But the only thing I don't like is it's crazy long reload.
There are other worlds than these

I think the reload time should be reduced so it's somewhat reasonable to wait for it.

I love the LAW.  I think it only takes a short time to master or at least be good with.  Also, it's not a bad idea to use it right away after you spawn, then drop it in search of a quicker weapon.

Yes, I remember you killing me several times on the U13 INF server last week. <_< I got you back with teh Barret, though. :P

I think the reload time should be reduced by a second or so. Keron, you want it increased by 2 seconds? O_o
