Rapidshot is still a mess

You destroyed a fun and ok skill with bad design. Change when?

Never I hope. It's amazing as backup skill and fuel for Explosive Grenades.
Oh yea because looking at the little heat icon while looking at 25 other things that might kill you is such a good thing. Next patch will make the skill turn your gun into a sausage and you will still praise it.

I'd only praise it if it also made us shoot unicorns that fart rainbows as a smoke trail

Man, if only there were some way to know how much heat you've generated besides staring directly at the icon.

What if they made you generate +1 heat every time you fired and when told you exactly how long each attack took? That way you could do some basic math and then practice holding the button down that long until you got really good at generating exactly the right amount of heat to buff your grenades?

I feel like this would be a much better design instead of the current model where it generates a random amount of heat and you can never practice or get good and you constantly have to stare at the icon every time until you get frustrated and run to the forums...

Like it's so f'ing easy and is a flat 50% damage buff to skills there are like almost no other ways to get that kind of a buff with less effort some of you are so unwilling to put the absolute minimal amount of effort into shit sometimes it's crazy.

Like how hard is this? For +50% damage every single time?

I can handle it and I have concentration disorder. Once you get used to the tempo of skill you don't need to look anywhere, just fire grenade once or twice per clip to reduce heat and get massive damage boost.

Is this the forum for feedback or capping?
People here will literally defend the most broken mess of a skill. I can respect that when you get paid for that. Otherwise not really.

To be fair, your post can hardly be considered as feedback.

What's bad about the design?

What was good about the skill before the changes?

What changes are you looking for?

You gave nothing and got the equivalent "Nah it's fine" back, so
Its terrible design now as a skill in itself, as it seems to be pretty much unusable on its own. Maybe its great if you are a making a grenade build, but what if I want to make a rapid-shot build? Its forcing being used with another skill rather than optional. Any other skill that will become literally unusable under certain condition? Maybe, I don't know but its much worse than it used to be, when it was able to be used constantly. It had downsides as well as it was. Was it OP? I don't think it was massively used by a lot of people at all? Were there OP meta-builds using it? Even if so surely some better solution could have been thought of. Its easily now one of the worst skills I have ever encountered in any game, when taken as a skill on its own rather than something merely to buff something else.. If you can get used to it then cool, but you are being told how to play rather than it being something you can use any time or way you want. I also felt like I was watching the corner of the screen when I tried it, and thats not ideal gameplay either. I now see it as a previous favourite skill that is now effectively non-existent.
