You shouldn't assume. I've been playing since day one(beta actually) and I've seen pocket infinity vex mythoclast suros regime all of it. As of right now the meta sucks which is why I've stopped playing for a while. Only high rof autos can actually kill hand cannons shoot phantom bullets fusion rifles get nerfed with every update. Shot guns may be in a good spot right. I actually think if thorn and last word had the same nerf they do as of now right before the auto rifle nerf would be the best meta. But of course that's my opinion and I don't expect everyone to agree.
