Hello Ubisoft,
I was wondering if you had any plans for buffing Glaz as he has had the worst attacker pickrate and performance for almost about a year.
As a fan of snipers I gravitated towards Glaz as soon as I first got siege. I have stuck with him for a while but recently he has just not felt good when compared to almost every other attacker in the game. I would like to start out by stating that Ubisoft's nerf to Glaz's ability to see through smoke was completely justified. His ability to rush smoke made him very annoying to play against and as one sided as a match of favela on 3f.
The main problem with Glaz in my eyes is that despite being the OG sniper of siege he has had, for the longest time, one of the worst DMRs in the game (yes I know his rifle is technically a sniper rifle but in almost all game play aspects it is a DMR). I feel that a buff to his gun would greatly benefit him as his scope's ability feels like it is in a balanced stat.
The main faults in his OTs-03 are its
-low fire rate
-high recoil
-low magazine
-subpar damage (when compared to the downsides)
First there is his fire rate which I understand its place as if it were higher it would feel more like a spam cannon
The next drawback is big and that is his rifle's recoil. The recoil on Glaz's gun is annoying because the first and second shot recoil are high than the rest so precision with his first shots is more difficult. I think a buff to where the first few shots are more accurate and later shots are harder to control would reward players who are accurate with their first shots.
Then there is his magazine size. At only ten rounds it is tied with Maverick's AR-15 for the smallest DMR magazine. This forces him to spend more time out of the fight and limits his ability to deal with multiple opponents. I think a small buff to a 15 round magazine would be very good for him or a 20 magazine if you wanted to make it more like its real life counter part (however 20 may be a little much). This small buff would just help Glaz players be able to stay in the fight for longer and not have to worry about reloading after every engagement
The last fault of Glaz is his un remarkable damage but let me explain. While the OTs-03's damage of 71 is strong it is only 2 points higher than Buck's and the French DMR, both of which have better vertical recoil control and 20 round magazines. Glaz's damage also isn't even strong enough to 2 shot level 2 and 3 armors once rook plates are in play. This doesn't feel right for someone who's gun should be the king of DMRs. I think buffing his damage to 8o would be a good buff as it finally makes his DMR feel more powerful than what is on offer and gives him the ability to 2 shot level 3 armors with rook plates.
All of this, I feel, would help get Glaz back into the spotlight light as the nerf practically curb stomped his win rate and pick rate. While the win deltas have shown that his delta has risen from -5% (oh god) to around -2% (slightly better) I feel this is in LARGE part by the fact that those who have not mained Glaz have left him by the wayside.
Please Ubi give my boy some love. He is the left all alone on the playground while the rest of the pack get at least a little love.
Sincerely, a professional Glaz moron
