Blaine's Minigun: You and I need to talk...

I think everyone’s favorite Weapon in the '87 Classic is 'Ol Painless. Blaine not only has no time to Bleed but he also has no time to move as slowly as we do in Hunting Grounds. And when Mac fired away at the Jungle, he had some serious firepower that had reasonable Range.

The Minigun is a lot of fun to use, no doubt. But when it’s equipped… why do we slow down to a literal crawl?? Blaine moved with relative ease even for being a Heavy Archetype. While I get the Power/Mobility tradeoff, I’m sure everyone agrees that we’re hamstrung a bit too much. Especially with Range… it’s waaay too short.

Personally, I think Illfonic should increase Mobility just enough so it feels similar to general Crouch Walking speed, or at least enough to make you viable when having the Minigun equipped. Range should also be improved somewhat vastly with decent drop-off.

Again, I totally get their Design Theory: Hella Powerful Weapons should be cumbersome. But at this current state, one of the coolest Weapons in the Game is essentially worthless and feels insanely slow.

Thoughts??
