SLR Balance Changes

High damage at range combined with fast follow-up shots makes it too forgiving, so recoil goes up slightly.

Balance Philosophy

For every weapon between A and S tier, apply one nerf to one aspect of it so it's not completely dominant on the battlefield.

Proposed Changes

Each entry lists the move or ability affected, the adjustment itself, and — where the analysis states one — the problem it is meant to solve and the reasoning behind it.

  1. Recoil

    Nerf
    Proposed adjustment
    Recoil increased slightly.
    Current issue
    It can deliver high damage at medium and long range while still allowing experienced players to fire follow-up shots quickly.
    Reason
    Makes rapid follow-up shots more difficult and reinforces its role as a powerful DMR that requires more control.
