Somebody has to say it, even tho so many people love this broken weapon, But I find it incredibely annoying and low effort, what kind of weapon gets you kills for literally missing the target? there is no way to counter it in cramped 2v2 maps, your opponent all he has to do is hit any nearby structure and you get damaged even if you are perfectly hidden ? The damage radius makes absolutely no sense and it just ruins the game entirely, it's even higher than missiles and rockets ?  

I see people complain about mortars, But I can easily deal with mortars, there are many counters for mortars in the game, and there is a huge compromises and disadvantages for most weapons  but DL ? I see none at all. 

all the player has to do is spam that crap to oblivion on the walls nearby till you die. 

but the idea of ​​​​the area weapon is precisely that, rockets and mortars are also like that, rocket launchers you don't need to Aim at the target directly, just shoot close, this is good for attacking mechs that are in cover

this serves very well to deal with the EM rifles which are much worse

About the only thing that seems problematic to me on Disc Launchers is people playing with a computer or maybe a controller. I only use a touchscreen and there the lock on counters some of the advantages of this weapon. But I can tell some players can just easily aim it and keep it on a target that isn't possible for touchscreen users.

Disc Launchers require players to really get know a map in a way similar to Lancer, figure out their approaches, where they can and can't be, etc. It takes people a while to figure out the bounce and lock on dynamics and most never really learn the more secret spots you can get ricochet shots off of. By contrast most other weapons are much more points and shoot. Carbines and Missile Racks for instance are less effective weapons but their firing dynamics are pretty straightforward. I'd consider both less skillful weapons than Disc Launchers.

Overall for skill, I find it helps to judge gear by the specialists. The Longarm guy, the Railgun guy, even the Rocket Mortar guys who play that weapon as much as possible andconsistently win 1v1 with them or coax out higher kill counts. Seeing that, then trying to deconstruct what they are doing and replicate it can really give you a sense of how much skill can go into wielding a weapon.

I think that disc launcher should get a splash damage debuff but it is not at the top of my list with things like rocket mortar and EM rifles.

em is to op

the EM rifle needs to be manually aimed just like the other rifles this would already make it more balanced the owner can be solved too but it leaves it super nerf is not good either
