Maybe instead of nerfing the Combi-Stick to the ground, perhaps the other weapons can receive a buff? There is a actual reason why almost no one else runs Elder Sword, War Club, or even Plasma Pistol in matches. The minute the Predator uses a Melee weapon that is actually better than the Wristblades, those particularly whiney Fireteam Mains cry OP. Oh please. Tell me again how many Shotguns, LMGs, or Sniper Rifles you have at your disposal again?
No offense to those that really play the game without acting like spoiled children though.
