I've made this statement a while ago, but it seems people have observed that rifles may be too good vs agrens now.
I think the excuse that "rifles dominate grens at close range anyways so it won't affect balance" is utter horseshit.
It wont effect balance between grens and rifles that much is what im saying. That doesnt mean its not effecting balance at all.
Im just more concerned about how it effects squads like pgrens, sturms, and agrens like you mentioned. All those squads benefit from closing the distance against rifleman, and that has now been made more difficult
Grens already wanted to keep rifles at a distance, so compared to those squads the matchup has changed a whole lot less. That's basically what im trying to say
