      They were super quick to act on the FCAR-turret meta. I'm glad they're trying to find that perfect balance where everything is viable but they could've given it another week to settle, especially considering how we tolerated the awful cloak-doublebarrel-nuke meta for nearly a month over Christmas.

        I am glad to see them quickly iterate towards squishing any meta as fast as possible versus the agonizingly slow response with a lot other games.
