For any who have not heard this interview, or aware of the events timeline, give it a listen in your spare time for any of the timeline you wish to familiarize yourself with, these are reps who balance and work hard on the meta, and this gives insight into the behind the scenes morals and ethics applied to the game explaining the ever changing Pvp meta and who is in charge of it directly. Thank you.

They have a shitty definition of balance that they are hell-bent on trying to create, but they dont know how to balance weapons correctly. They just look at numbers and base their nerfs/buffs on them after they number-crunch, and "play test" weapons in a closed environment with devs, instead of actual matches with actual people to see how people react/try to counter. They see a popular weapon, they nerf it. They dont give a shit about PvE either. They need to separate nerfs, and they only did it one -blam!-ing time! The one time they do it, shotguns were actually worth using in PvE. Their constant cycle of nerfs is what put this games weapon "balance" in the shithole and they just keep digging the hole deeper to fill it more. These dudes dont know what they're doing, and the AR situation is a -blam!-ing joke to these dudes, saying that "damage buff" was intentional, then saying there wont be another buff. I imagine they have a dart board in their office with weapon classes on the outside as the largest targets, then specific weapons under the weapon classes, and the better the weapon,the larger the target. Then, each day, Jon and the rest of the "weapon balancing" crew take a few throws a day hoping they hit Fusion Rifles,Shotguns, or popular weapons to nerf
