I should have phrased it differently as if the nerf is set in stone, my bad. Pro players are asking 343 to put it on a timer, 343 said they’re going to look into it. I don’t like pro players being the voice of reasons when it comes to sandbox changes. I think the weapon is fine as it is, it’s one of the better designs the sandbox.
I love the mangler. It’s the mauler on steroids. It needs a nerf tho (only to the spawn timer, leave the damage and range alone). At no time should 3-4 players be running around the map with it. Also, because of the weird melee ranges/hit detection it seems OP. Once melees and registration issues are fixed I expect it (while being on a longer timer) to function better.
