Cadence needs to be re-balanced

I'm finally getting around to checking out and playing a few matches with the buffed Cadence and jeeeeeesus.

​

Thing is definitely going to need a nerf very soon with how stupidly easy it is to roll an entire lobby just as badly as a Yumi with the Heavy Shot and a healing bubble or a Chavez with The Duke and a damage reduction AOE with just the Cadence alone.

​

The issue is Cadence can easily reach 103 dmg in 6-8 shots. When the gun literally states that it shoots 10 shots per second it gives this gun a very low time to kill.

​

Violence (my more favorite alternative) has now become the weaker gun due to it's risk/reward being completely overshadowed by Cadence's reward/reward of just simply having more bullets per magazine and still being able to pump out lethal damage within 2 seconds without a need to reload until 7 bursts in.

It appears this post is shortlived since the devs have already taken note of Larcin’s Cadence (and the shield meta)

the developers click random buttons on balance patches, watch them fix the weapon and then rebuff it a patch later : )

That's mostly cuz it literally is the Season 1 Cadence with 4 less ammo per mag and a 0.1 sec increased reload time, same TTK entirely.

Not to mention they buffed the hell out of Grande Finale by giving it the same 75 to 60 second cooldown buff the other expertises got even though it's cooldown begins just about instantly after it is used and can't even be cancelled by Hans' Static Cage unlike Larcin's other expertises. It literally has an effective downtime of 20 seconds when you use it with gold field agent kit and that is just ridiculously broken for an expertise of it's caliber.

First thing I mentioned after I saw those notes. Why they rebuffed it I have no clue. They saw how strong it was before with the exact same numbers, nerfed it for a month, then reverted it. Strange

Yeah the devs dont know what they are doing, its like monkeys typing away at a keyboard or peolle who have never played the game before going “ oh 30 damage for a headshot lets change it to 36 with fast fire rate while also allowing him to pickpocket people and go invisible “ plus with his e2 there was a bug where you could shoot out of it so they patched it, 2 weeks later they add it as a feature 😐
