I admit it pissed me off that EM Rifle had an auto-aim, I was like "Why should this weapon have an auto-aim when others like Railgun and Longarm don't and nobody complained that it was hard to aim with".
For this time I must say that Plarium you did well to lower the firepower of EM Rifle :)
Of course there is a lot of disagreement about the auto-aim on the EM Rifle, so that's why I propose my idea: I propose that from rank 6, the EM Rifle can have an auto-aim because this way for players who are less advanced in the game will have a chance against this completely devastating weapon and for more advanced players will have a chance to destroy stronger mechs more easily as most legendary mechs have huge amount of HP.
People are pissed because the weapon that was bought with real money was modified in such a way that it no longer operates the way it was advertised. Plarium used the shady bait and switch selling technique after selling thousands after close to a year.
Imo, the game has become more unbalanced since the bots basically still have it and the PC players now have a huge advantage over mobile players. The EM never needed a nerf; it's the bad matchmaking that has created the imbalance.
Take away the bots ability to shoot through a keyhole, the PC players ability to just point and click to shoot, and fix the matchmaking. That's how you make the game balanced. But, this EM nerf was never about balance; it's a money making scheme to push weapons that aren't selling which is why they buffed the minigun on the same day as the EM nerf.
