The Ushior Pistol

Fair Enough. I didn´t know some people even saved the patch notes to their hard drives to quote in discussion about the successor. Well played, Sir.

No worries; this is not a "theory" though, only my thoughts on the weapon (what I would do with the Ushior) and the gameplay (now that reload cancel is gone). Seeing it having only 1 shot, a lot of players expected the gun to be like Executioner (which is actually described as a sidearm in ME3MP, repurposed as a main damage dealer). I'm trying to understand the Ushior as what it is, not as what I want it to be.

If I'm using a % weapon or a weapon that's slow to reload, I would use the Ushior as a sidearm to quickly finish off an enemy at all ranges. I can't do that with the Talon or the Hurricane (and all classes, not only classes with turbocharge). 

Of course as a "main" damage dealer, Ushior is garbage. Maybe that's not its job then. Maybe it's not made to one shot everything. Maybe MEAMP doesn't revolve around oneshoting things. Without reload cancel, using the Ushior as a main damage dealer would be dumb. 

As for the "sidearm" / "pistol" debate, I don't see the point. In ME3MP I was using the disciple as a "sidearm" because of its weight and the ability to give it a melee mod, while my main weapon dealt bullet damage. I sometimes used the Suppressor on mooks with an AR as my damage dealer. In MEAMP, I don't consider the Sidewinder to be an excellent pistol too, but as a sidearm pistol it does a good job; except it takes 3 shots to make what Ushior does in 1. If you want it as your main weapon on some kits, it does need an enormous buff indeed. 

"the Ushior is just inferior in every regard"
In one shot it deals more damage than any AR X shot and pistol X shot (except Scorpion). Some snipers rifles and shotguns do better damage per shot, except 1) they usually weighs way more and 2) are respectively harder to use in close quarters or from afar, while the Ushior can be used in both circumstances. 
If you're looking for long-term DPS, Ushior is garbage indeed. In certain circumstances, if you want a good amount of damage, an immediate stoping power in a very short time at any range, then the Ushior is one of the best weapon to use. 

"People expect, from a weapon that is Ultrarare and behaves like a Widow, that it does similiar damage to a Widow."
Then the issue isn't with the gun. If people want the Widow, the Widow is already in the game and is easier to get, except it weighs twice what the Ushior weighs and is clunky to use at short-to-medium range.

"There's a reason why there aren't that many of them"

Like in real life, there're quite a few "rare" weapons, but that doesn't mean they're any good. Just look at the UTAS UTS-15 shotgun (anyone remembers it from BF4?) it's very rare, and yet a plastic piece of trash.

It's actually just a few posts down in the pinned Balance thread. But I will still accept your obeisance.

All of the Ultra Rares I have received suck. Every.single.one.

I do not even get excited anymore when I see the N7 cards.

The dps on it is lower than the equalizer and the equalizer has about a 150% larger base magazine so why would anyone ever use the eagle except to troll themselves?

I was thinking about that too.
If you're gonna give me a single shot gun, it better be goddamn good (this is specially true for snipers). But honestly I don't get it about single shot pistols, put a few more rounds in the mag and the gun might be saved.

That doesn't make any sense. Even if all weapons were equally great, they'd still be different weapons with different characteristics and their own pros and cons, suitable for different characters and styles of play. I don't see how that'd somehow be less fun than the current situation where most weapons are thrash and only a handful are considered "viable".

Sorry if I missed the joke. The problem is that too many people genuinely think exactly like that. Poe's Law, and all that.

What we have now is not what I'm suggesting. A key component is missing: balance. Yes, weapon balance is certainly subjective, and it can be hard to tell where the sweet spot between two very different weapons truly is, but we're not there yet. Not even close.

URs should have something special, mechanic that apart them from more common weapons.
Javelin was great example- high single shot damage,wallhack and great penetration (ah those jokes).
Also Reegar, but it should have been UR,not rare.

It's basically this game's version of the Executioner.
