It's annoying right now because it's popular, because while its [i]good[/i], it's not OP. Trust me, I've played since Day One, and I know way too much about annoying metas... *shivers* Anyways, at close range it can be beaten by just about anything if your aim is sound, at mid range it can be beaten by a pulse rifle, and at long range it can be beaten by snipers and other scout rifles (such as the NL-shadow). I'm not saying this idealistically: there is never a guarantee that you'll win a gunfight with the Mida, whereas the with Last -blam!-ing Word, there is at least some cushion. What's also true is that the gun has the highest aim assist stat in the game, high caliber rounds, a damn fine magazine, a good sight, hair trigger (which complements people like me who use a modded controller), and a +6 or 8 agility buff. This sounds extraneous, but when you consider the fact that it actually seems exotic, and that it's still balanced (just not with all the other weapons being shitty), I really don't see how you would like to alter this.
