Terran Republic OP?

So this topic has been on my mind for awhile now, many posts talk about how underpowered the TR are, despite that literally everyone says they are OP.

Someone once said something on the Reddit a while back and it really stuck with me: "it's only OP in the hands of TR".

And I thought alot about what that dude said and he's right. For example, the Lancer is a really weak weapon, I never see anyone use it, but if the TR had it then people would complain about how OP it is.

An example of this is with the striker and t4-amp. They were made out to sound extremely powerful and unbalanced and people still complained when they were nerfed to the ground. The complainants only finally died when the Swarm and Emissary cane out.

Sometimes I think the factions deliberately complain about TR weapons just to get them nerfed to the ground, or common pooled even though the faction equivalent is so much more powerful. (Banshee vs. AH and PPA)

But hey, that's just me. Anyone else kinda agree?
