Someone explain to me how this isn't a giant 「fluffernutter」 u to anyone who bought and upgraded previous rocket weapons? Now cryo outperform all of them and add in the freeZe effect?
Ridiculous.
Another slap in the face if u ask me.
With all these recent nerfs on older stuff, and buffs on newer upgraded versions, not to mention new currency degrading others further, why does anyone keep falling for this crap??
How stupid are we?

I can kinda understand with Orkans but Exos are premium weapons too and are COMPLETELY outclassed by Glaciers.

Typical META / Nerf / Buff cycle. Pixonic and other games like it have done it for years and years.

Orkan and Pinatas had already been rendered useless, even in their prime the cryo weapons are better, exodus is an interesting one however, its not a cheap weapon to upgrade, and is now replaced... at least they didnt directly nerf it I guess?

By the way, all the old school rockets still kill, they just don’t insta-kill like before due not only to some nerf but also to the complex mech enhancement system we have now. The key to still using them is called ‘tactical adjustment’.
It is necessary to make more informed decisions about positioning, target assessment, timing of strike, and retreat considerations for reload.
And yes, I’m even talking about their use deep in the heart of Champ League. So sure, in a way they slapped us in the face with nerfing Orkans and Tarans, but if we still like them, and we enjoy the challenge of figuring out how to make them work, then we find a way.

Orkans are still very very powerful. Sure, Cryo may be better, but that's how it ALWAYS is. New stuff will always overpower the old stuff.
But, you do have a point. They could have done this cryo buff WITHOUT nerfing the Orkans. After this buff, they really should put the Orkans back to pre-nerf.

In my opinion, in addition to part of the natural order of things as it relates to nerf / buff cycles, the Orkans were nerfed because when put on a Spectre or on a bot that could ambush, the burst damage was devastating--very close to one shoting a bot entirely. That's not fun on the receiving end. And since it was splash it was much more forgiving for targeting, unlike Vortexes or other weapons that can cause a heavy punch. I have 4 MkII Orkans, and I'd love to see them come back, but the nerf wasn't surprising to me at all when it happened.

If every time you go to a restaurant they pee in your cornflakes, its not bad service or disrespecting customers - that's just how they do cornflakes. If you don't like their "unique" take on the dish, maybe eat somewhere else? Pix does this on literally everything. Back in something like fall of 2016 they came out and said they were going to start selling power and they were targeting a roughly 20% relative buff 1091 / 782 = 40% buff plus freeze effect (level 5 gear) - sounds like inflation is starting to kick in.

I have 4 MkII Orkans, and I'd love to see them come back, but the nerf wasn't surprising to me at all when it happened. I think I see your point BUT all that has happened in that context is a swap from Orkan to the new Cryo without changing any other parameters (e.g. splash still exists as does Spectre with four hard points). The changes imo are about using player churn as an impetus for making money. Forget longer term players who have a collection (such as yourself). Therefore the focus is more on selling to newer players and hopefully (for Pix), longer termers will also be engaged to spend/upgrade as a result. If not (as others always state here and elsewhere) put up with it, adjust to it or leave.

Exactly....I’ve played when Orkans rocked, have quite a few leveled up, then they are slam nerfed...and the new cyro replaced, so even old timers have to start over again.....
Un-nerf Orkans, and cyros still are awesome, IMO, but not big deal.
I suppose this it the no respect for long term player base thing.........

I don't mind if they buff new gear. It's when they nerf old gear that I get frustrated.
