Whats with the "skillbashing" on this sub?

Seriously, most of the post I see on this sub are always about people saying that "X weapon should be removed or massively debuffed because it doesn't require skills"! First of all, skill is purely subjective. Sure maybe one doesn't have the skill of aiming a long-range weapon, but you probably dont have the skill of dodging shots to reach your target and destroy it, or the skill of managing your drones to select when to deploy it and which target you should pick to use them efficiently.

Second, I did my little experiment to see what the game's workbench would look like if we removed all "unskilled" weapons. Bring out the whiteboards, cuz we're doing some math!

Currently, the game has:

• 21 machine guns
• 21 shotguns
• 11 autocannons
• 17 cannons
• 18 rocket launchers
• 8 grenade launchers
• 19 energy weapons
• 9 crossbows
• 11 melee weapons
• 5 flame weapons (thats literally how they're called)
• 6 cryogenic weapons
• 9 minelayers
• 15 autonomous weapons
• 16 uncategorized weapons (3 non-damaging weapons)

This gives us a total of 186 weapons. Now, lets see how many "unskilled weapons" there are. For reference, I counted weapons as "unskilled" if they can be used efficiently by either a) simply ramming into someone and shooting or b) not requiring any sort of precise aiming. I chose these criteria because these are the ones that come up the most often by complaining players.

So far, this is all the weapons that enters this category:

• 18 machine guns
• 21 shotguns
• 2 autocannons
• 0 cannons
• 13 rocket launchers
• 0 grenade launchers
• 15 energy weapons
• 0 crossbows
• 11 melee weapons
• 3 flame weapons
• 3 cryogenic weapons
• 3 minelayers
• 13 autonomous weapons
• 3 uncategorized weapons (the 3 non-damaging weapons were not included)

This gives us a total of 105 unskilled weapons. And with a simple formula, we can conclude that 57% of Crossout's weapons can be considered "unskilled".

So, to resume this whole (and obviously too long) post: Let others enjoy the game how they want to.

!If you wonder, yes I did waste an hour counting each weapon in the workbench and do the math. But I was seriously getting annoyed of this short-minded complain that seemed to have exploded for the past few years. I know this is Reddit, aka the most toxic place on Earth right next to Twitter, but still...)!<
