    Damage was reduced though - can't hit as hard as it once did. It was an attempt to normalize the range of damage.

    but the damage multiplier from BO was reduced. Since every shot crits, there is no longer any real edge cases where its to powerful, of pretty much didn't do anything.

    its actually been a great change in practice, unfortunately the talent behind that revamp left cryptic recently.

    What's it's average damage now?

    Is it even easier to get vaped in the blink of an eye, or no?
