Some weapons could have been designed for more casual players. Not every player is gonna have high motor control or reflexes and maybe AGS is trying to make weapons for all skill levels. Honestly I disagree with your post but I might as well argue against it anyhow
And thats great for a single player game. In a multiplayer game where competitive modes exist, there needs to be at least some balance in terms of skill. I understand there will always be a meta, but it does seem like this GA meta is narrowing the mechanical scope of the gameplay.
