Some of the variants suffer from visual overdesign.

I'd also say that it is strange that ranked play still allows variants. Against the best of the best, having an Obsidian Steed or an Insanity against everyone else is about the CoD equivalent of doing Roids or HGH in pro sports. It isn't a substitute for talent, but with talent and that I can see how it would give you an edge over everyone else. Right. And that's kind of my point. Small differences matter when you stsrt getting past just the solo-playing for fun. In those playing for fun, playing solo cases, yeah... it probably doesn't matter what gun or if any variant you have. You will grind to whatever your goal is, regardless of weapon type. It doesn't matter. But in League play, ranked play, Clan Wars...that stuff matters. Take our clan war last weekend. We won our pool of eight clans, by a shutout of 694-0. On the surface, it seems like no excitement. But there was drama. We aren't just playing to win. We (HSV1) are currently ranked 15th overall (out of like 30,000 to 40,000 clans), and ranked #1st in our particular division. Every freaking point we get, matters. Last weekend, we ended up racing ourselves. Our main squad went like 46-2 over the two rounds. Probably half of those games, against other full partied up clans. We couldn't afford to lose ANY games, so even losing those two games hurt. Why? Take this example from round 2 last weekend. We were racing to try and win one last node at the end, that had valuable points. It was in Hardpoint. We needed to win like four games at the end, in less than 25 minutes to get it. We ended up missing out, winning our fourth game only 34 seconds after the buzzer went off. 34 seconds. that's it. Eight hours of intense gaming, and we lost out that final node (it was worth 60 pts) by only 34 seconds. One never knows, but if three of us playing would have had the best guns, MAYBE we kill just a little bit faster, get a few more kills, and win that node at the end. 34 seconds is nothing. As it is, we didn't. And our final score was 694, not 754. This wes important. This just might cost us the top 1% scoring bonus for the leaderboards, costing us ranking spots on those leaderboards. The above is why I get tired of hearing people say ..."Having the best variant guns doesn't matter than much"....bvllshit. It does matter. I want a god-damn equal/level playing field.
