Symmetry: Symmetry needs better wave clear not stats. Lets hope the 20% damage increase applies to the alt fire as right now they do very little damage compared to others (Hierarchy of Needs is just a better version of this weapon, has the same playstyle, and a better supporting subclass in solar). 15 reload to 25 is unnoticeable on a scout and Eddy Current is just a bad perk that is worse on a scout. When in combat are you sprinting around with a scout? You almost never move up before you reload so I don't get this pick. Touch of Malice: More poison is nice but Touch just needs the middle of the blight to go through targets. Direct hits with the thing makes lining up the edge of what is basically a long blinding nade not fun. Its a pain on controller because aim assist keeps pulling towards a target when you are trying to slightly miss. Also there's a bug where if you direct hit a unstop champ with this it doesn't stun (I made a bug report on this and did a lot of testing). This bug is not a problem if you hit with the outside of the blight so this change would fix the inconsistency and usability of the weapon. Polaris Lance: What is the purpose of lowering the AOE damage on this? The only reason it is good this season is the artifact and it will go back to being REALLY slow next season. Maybe with the 20% damage increase will be strong but I don't see that explosion doing really anything at all with a now 10% damage increase instead. Even with a 20% increase it already 1 shots minors and does nothing to anything else so this doesn't really track for me. I will say despite these complaints scout users have been waiting years for that 20% increase damage to red bars. The argument of scouts being too safe to properly buff doesn't make much sense in our current sandbox. Why would you stay back and plink when with ceno and aeons you could just main a heavy weapon? This change is very much appreciated and will help a lot with currently struggling exotics as well although it is a band-aid to actual reworks.
