And I find it funny that you are so unnecessarily snub, post-spammy and stats-focused that it feels like trying to have a conversation with Nullist!
Except I play more. Hard not to when he wasn't playing at all.
If you have twice the stats-knowledge of Kolaris, why don't you try presenting a solution for the blob-problem people seem to agree on, rather than being a constant besserwisser?
Out of my arse idea-suppression multiplier based on number of squads in the vicinity. Pretty much squad based version of what HMG42 and 34 already have.
And done, suppression more effective against blobs, no difference against single squad, you'll still die if you aren't in green cover with your HMG or wasn't using spotter to exploit extra range, therefore no imbalance introduced while HMGs would quickly suppress groups.
