Its not really a problem to be honest the combo so much now, yes the videos is nice but I was having some fun there as you'll notice im not timing the items, nor did I try hide near the end so I had no reason to be angry as its just some practice, zeroQL also ask me if im ok with the video
. You will also notice he and juvenile both have a good aim in both videos, so not surprising they picked up on the effectiveness of nex/mortar quickly.
I don't think there uber dominant its just that such players have good aim, you should check out the duel finals VOD you will see the difference in gameplay between 2 skilled players and how different it can be played, stormkeep downer and darkzone are all good examples of the use of the other weapons not just nex + mortar.
And to add weapon delay really helps with reducing the mad nex mortar combo madness! I actually think lately though I slipped back into changing weapons too much personally, which I find has made it harder for me with the XPM weapon delay.
Ofcourse if people think its still open for change then discussion can take place, but for example say you couldn't change from nex till 1 or 1.5sec after a shot just for example then the recharge feature would have to probably go as it'd then probably be quite weak vs other combos, so if one thing is changed its quite possible something else would need to be. But as you rightly say its not a problem with its strength.
Also take a look at fisume with RL he does lots of damage with it..do I think its too strong? No. He just has a really good aim with it
