no no no no. Bronze servers where thriving and people played the game like it was supposed to be played. The games were fun and unpredictable. Teams were fair, car chases and explosions. Ramming and running over players. Cars flying through the air. Percs and grenade spamming. Yes there were dethreaters, but people were losing on purpose because the bronze servers were so much more fun. 

 

Gold servers were first to die. Why ? because they were boring AF ....   peek shoot, peek shoot, peek shoot, peek shoot Get The Item, peek shoot peek shoot, peek shoot, peek shoot. Drive to the next spot, peek shoot peek shoot peek shoot, peek shoot. Defend The Door, peek shoot peek shoot peek shoot.  Kill The Other Team, Peek Shoot, Peek Shoot, Peek Shoot, Peek Shoot, Peek Shoot, Peek Shoot, Peek Shoot, Peek Shoot, Peek Shoot.

 

Those barriers were removied and within months the population declined to its lowest ever.

bro was smurfing in the bronze district clubbing seals lmao

oh look at that the majority voted to nerf the 45 ap.... good thing that LO never listens to their playerbase so the minority vote will just win as always

[MACKxBOLAN 426]

whenever theres a weapon change, its usually the decision of the 4 or so SPCTs that gave their opinion anyway, so 44 must be massive to LO

Are people still crying over this pistol?
Yes it is strong, yes it has more range than the other pistols but you completely ignore the fact that you need 5/7 bullets and that sometimes the crosshair get massive swells more than the others.
There are good alternatives to the pistol such as "FBW" which requires 6/15 bullets to kill which means more chances to kill despite the misses, "Kokoe" from close range 5/10 bullets which allows you to kill 2 people in one magazine.

Tip: confuse your enemy with good movement (behind some wall and quick peek with the body) so that he misses 2 bullets and then rush him and hope that he will miss at least one more bullet and he will reloading in front of your face which will give you an advantage of a few seconds.

Bla bla bla…. I already do things like this to out smart an AP.45 user. But that doesn’t mean I’ll ignore the fact the AP.45 is dominate against most primary’s and secondaries.

 

Change needs to happen with this weapon even if it’s something minor like changing the effective range or fire rate.

So you’re ok with the rest of the 90% of secondaries not getting used because of the AP?

nerfing the 45 isn’t going to make people use other secondaries, everyone will just switch to fbw

 

the useless secondaries need a buff to be used, not a 45 nerf

Simple fact is, this gun became popular over night after a certain cheat was released and continues to be so. It is now "normal" to use this cheat as players have been using it for years.  If this gun does get a nerf, suddenly the Frog will be the most popular gun for the exact same reason. But the game is completely unbalanced with it.

it’s popular because it’s effective

 

just like the fbw is effective, just like the frog is effective, and just like all the other secondaries should be

Explain how a cheat can make the .45 better without also making every other secondary better.

Like the Obir, it wasnt popular for a very long time, hardly anybody used it, then suddenly out of the blue it became popular....

 

Merged.

the obir wasn’t meta because the obeya was insanely strong for so long, as soon as it got nerfed people started switching to the next best option

 

i have no idea which cheat you’re specifically referring to, but i’m certain there’s no cheat that only works for the obir and 45 lol

.45 has been popular for a long time, I've used it since 2018 at least.

Weapon mods change the weapon stats. Cheats don't. You need to explain in more detail because I have no idea what you're referring to.

CR762 got nerfed and OBIR got buffed, along with the rise in people abusing the Kevlar / Med Spray combo when consumables became more easily accessible. These things combined are what caused the meta shift, it wasn't just the CR762 nerf on its own. Giving the 45AP a slight nerf won't cause a meta shift on its own, but it will allow other secondaries to be viable choices since you'd no longer be gimping yourself by not choosing the secondary that is actually just a primary.

Also, you're being willfully obtuse about this. We both know you know exactly what's being talked about.

there’s 3 viable secondaries, if you “slightly” nerf the 45 then there’s still 3 viable secondaries and there was no point in making any changes in the first place

bros talking like triggerbotters discovered semi-automatic weapons in 2020 and cheaters using a gun means it should be nerfed, i want him to realize how dumb his opinions sound

It doesn't need any nerf then it will be just a useless gun , just rework other secondaries and make them a bit more useful . Let's talk about HVR and shotgun that need a bit of buff back and other secondaries and not the AP. Then with which secondary should we play ?? no no no no

Any other that required skill to be good with.
