    Please put that sniper to tier 1. It is too far from being balanced meta items, it is OP without a doubt.

    I can't believe Grenade is still so underrated that it isn't even a weapon to consider in your list. Every last season top 5 player had at least 1 Grenade in his/her setup, I think it's something to have in mind ;)

    Mine is also overused in top players, so it is returning to the game in a great way.
    Missiles are not just ok imo. They hit 2.5k in certain range :eek:

    Why does everyone think sniper is overpowered?
    It's the main weapon for a shooter just like blast cannon for an Enforcer..

    So, u guy's don't mind enforcers carrying 2 blast cannon, but u guys complain about shooters who use 2 snipers..

    For Christ sake leave sniper alone.. No need to change..If u change the crit percentage at closer range than f2p players will find it very difficult to battle speeders and Enforcers, just think about it.. :oops:

    I use rudder (fixer, speeder and defender) because it is way funnier than the other options :D:p

    Making this perk fit any blue item could bring a healthy diversity to the game :D

    I guess it only seems OP when we compare it with railgun... If that's the case, railgun could use a buff :D

    Please edit your post with, Frost Blaster heal debuff not being removed after repair bolt. It is the same issue as the Tesla bolt block.

    They are not balanced. And shields and turbo are not OP. Shields and turbo are overused, but they are not really overpowered. There is simply no viable alternative. There really is a difference. If you buffed Rudder and Gear Lube significantly (through stat boosts or functional changes), then they would be alternatives.

    Nah it's not OP. Versatile and overused, but not really OP. It is the closest to that Tier 1 though, so a nerf to an alternative might push it there. For example, a nerf to Tesla Shields that completely counter Sniper Cannons might buff Sniper Cannons.

    Grenades are in mine :) I love my grenade. I replaced my Flare with it because burst damage.

    Lol, you are the exception. Maybe we should make an "Exception Meta" for fun.

    Rare Tesla shield ain't that strong. Only around 900+ hp. I wish they buff it.

    The stun is removed but no healing is done when the bolt hit, it only removes the stun. They also can’t be healed until they are either hit or the time on the Tesla bolt runs out (even though it’s removed the stun part the heal block bit isn’t).

    If they buff Rare Tesla Shields than they have to buff Epic and Legendary too. You can't just change one rarity because that makes the more rare items less advantageous.

    Standard cannon is good on enforcer and defender. Great for kill shots and somehow scares a lot of speeders away. They don’t like being hit. Also I think the distance on ex cannon hurt it a lot. I notice that more than the cooldown.

    A speeder without a big shield is dead in 1 or 2 shots, no amount of buffing rudder or gear lube can fix that. This is the root of the problem.

    It's only the Rare tesla that sucks. If I remember correctly, someone posted here that the rare Tesla shield is scaled differently than it's Epic and Legendary counterparts.

    Hmm, just from studying the chat i think that this list is not very accurate.

    Firstly, i only thought this list through my opinions and did not consider what other people thought about some weapons. People have different opinions about each weapon and where it stands in the game. So i need to really make sure that it is not just based on my own knowlegde but for the contribution of everyone, so that everyone in their opinions agrees with the list

    Secondly this list, the research came from just the nightmare league which means that all the other leagues and the items were not researched from anywhere else but there.

    So next time, i will gather opinions from the community via poll, and we discuss which items are should be or shouldn't be overpowered or weak. I will also make the list use a different system, probably similar to @Help I Cant Swim's one, but i will consider the voices of the players in each league and either making 5 lists based on the 5 leagues, or making an entire list summarising all the 5 leagues together.

    But really this is a controversial topic to be talking about, because every player is at different skill level and they see items that we primarily don't see as OP. But i cannot manage that because it is someone's opinion.

    Either way this list is one of the first times i've done this list. Give me a break, lol.

    Now i see the poll as that i need to change something. What is needed to be changed? I will be gladly able to do so. Just name the change, and if everyone agrees then i'll change it.
