Magnificent Howl is Broken
I am an average player. I will never get Luna’s Howl/Not Forgotten. That being said, I believe these guns to be quite literally overpowered.
/ˌōvərˈpou(ə)r/
defeat or overcome with superior strength
Magnificent Howl enables the easiest/fastest kill time in the game. Obviously special weapons and other such fast time to kill weapons exist, but none are as potent as these horrid handcannons.
I had no issue with Redrix’s Claymore. It required a [u]kill[/u] to proc the powerful perk. Mag Howl is simply there and delivers faster kill times than most other weapons will ease.
My issue is that even will perfect accuaracy, not missing a shot with my handcannon, luna’s will kill me faster. I don’t want to cry nerf, but it’s been in the game for a fat minute and it dominates the rumble/competitive scene on a level of stupidity that is unparalleled.
Too easy kills when the option to pair it with D2 Felwinter’s Lie (Dust Rock Bullshit) exists.
Good rationale:
-Normal players get kill clip
-Best players get kill clip+ (Desperado)
Bad rationale:
-Normal players get balanced weapons
-Best players are awarded free kills (Magnificent Howl)
I am right at the ELO borderline where not everyone in my games has Luna’s Howl, but several people do, and those people ruin it.
InB4 people with the weapon tell me to basically play better and stop sucking against a superior weapon.

Mag Howl is simply there and delivers faster kill times than most other weapons will ease.[/quote] Ok I don’t have redrix but literally all of my friends are sweats so ; first off, have fun getting a kill with that gun if your an aggressive player, which most people who have that gun are very aggressive. Second, if you manage to get a kill with it, outlaw may not always perk, but it does 95% of the time. But still, outlaw on that gun is bugged. Third, when outlaw procs, [u]most[/u] of the time, the signiture perk won’t proc and I’m talking about at least 90% of the time it doesn’t. [spoiler]Sorry, not telling you to get good or anything like that, I just felt like ranting about redricks a bit. And yes Luna is annoying but not op. It has trash range and gets high flinch so either stay at a range or have a high rof weapon equipped (pulse work well)[/spoiler]

4 RepliesThe perk only lasts for 3 seconds. Plus you need to get headshots for it to activate - no easy feat with the flinch you get with this weapon - and is lost if you don’t get a following crit or a kill- again quite a feat. There are more Bygones in The Crucible than there are LH and they can two-burst you with kill clip and the latter perk lasts longer than Magnificent Howl and doesn’t require headshots. LH has no range. Its base stats are almost equivalent to Trust. This gun isn’t overpowered in the slightest.

If you feel the gun is ruining the mode then you have a problem. Look, I have it and I do use it. But I'll be honest with you: I'm a bit more skilled with Ace than Luna. I'm getting much better with it, but you should be more afraid if I have Ace on. Luna has awful range. AWFUL range. How do you beat it? Back up, strafe, jump, get real close, get real far. I can't tell you how many Luna's I gun down with Ace. Let's not even mention that you have to land your headshots. The minute you miss is the death of you half the time. You need to learn how to counter the gun. There are definitely ways to do so. I play enough comp to know there are quite a few counters to it. If you need more advice I'm happy to help.
