What we are running into is unfun guns are out dpsing spinfuser as you agree with. This makes the game unfun.. as you are either forced to use the unfun gun to succeed or curse everytime you get killed by it, which unless you get the jump or concentrate only on survival will probably happen (also doesn't help in team oriented game types). Once again making the argument to keep a gun pure because others are bad isn't going to help the gun. It will keep it bad and die out users of it. I would not like to see a plasma size hitbox change (pre-nerf) but a hitbox increase to the point of making MAs viable and not scarce would be a welcome change to most I believe. That and a possible projectile speed increase (slightly less of an issue imo). _________________ Unstoppable Mid Air Disks - NA West

Some people who wield autos (and some who wield the Spin) say explosives are boring and its just a wait to see who hits the ground first weapon. This would fix that and put spinfuser back in the aerial fights. Though I go for MAs constantly (probably more then I should sometimes) when I get serious cause someone is being annoying or I just am tired of a bad luck death streak you can't avoid in TDM sometimes, I will just focus solely on ground shots landing. Though boring my streak ends. There just is no real reward for the risk of trying MAs except.. oh look I got 3-6 blue plates that match look at my name.. What some people won't admit is a couple of those are probably just direct hit ground shots on a heavy.. Shots that should count, in comparison to other guns, really aren't at this time. Please fix HiRez! _________________ Unstoppable Mid Air Disks - NA West

I agree that blue plates feel brilliant and spinfuser is the most fun gun in the game. What we are running into is *unfun* guns are out dpsing spinfuser as you agree with. This makes the game unfun.. as you are either forced to use the *unfun* gun to succeed or curse everytime you get killed by it, which unless you get the jump or concentrate only on survival will probably happen (also doesn't help in team oriented game types).

Once again making the argument to keep a gun *pure* because others are bad isn't going to help the gun. It will keep it bad and die out users of it.
