Sorry but I don't understand what you mean here. What would even be the purpose of making moderators push narratives regarding balance of specific items?

I personally don't use Magnum, because I can get better results with other turrets. Maybe skill issue, maybe balance issue. Frankly I've lost the Grasp of the current state Magnum is in right now, after the numerous balance changes in the recent weeks. What I can say though is that I rarely need to use protection against it, and that it is not a turret I worry about too much in the battle currently.

What I mean is if something is flawed he cannot point it out and express himself how he would if he wasn’t a moderator.

Instead, most of the mods (not all, I salute those who don’t) always praise these patch notes regardless of it making sense or not.

While I cannot speak for other moderators actions, I can tell you that we are free to express our opinion on any update and I always try to do so, positive or negative.

After he’s done testing it out, he will come to the realisation that it’s just a bunch of underpowered crap

However, he will most likely not admit it here as he is not allowed to speak against certain narrative, and will just go with typical “gg, magnum op look what kind of unseen destruction I caused in a battle with it ^^”

I have tried magnum a couple of times, it’s hard to control, has an enormously long reload and amplification and it’s total crap.

Forgot to add ^^
 

What's the point if I really liked magnum after the update, I posted screenshots clearly in the TPOD topic on how easy it is to get kills if you master the new elevation. With booster (old 30% boost), it reached 3k+ damage easily, which was quite the fun to get a killing spree for. It's not my fault and shouldn't be any1's that you don't like a certain turret or if the other person believes magnum's OP or overpowered, everyone is free to state their opinion clearly, and if you believe you can undermine some1's opinion, you cannot.

And I implore you to speak clearly, what narrative you think that I cannot cross, "fear of badmouthing the game, fear of developers" none of that. Developers will not revert the change if a certain forum mod from EN locale does not like the new mechanism, or he thinks the mechanism is too OP. I never played with magnum much, hence you can clearly go into my ratings and check how much popularity or fame I have given the turret since its introduction. I cannot change the Ratings page, can I ? But after the update, I tried it, and had a lot of fun, paired up with some of my friends, and they all dominated the game with magnum crisis.

Furthermore, I don't like Scorpion much, thus clearly stated my opinion on the front page that it isn't something Overpowered like Tesla, the reload bar on arcade shots was broken, and missiles only hit a distant target properly. But I think you didn't notice, and neither did anyone else who is under the misconception of the fact that "Helpers can't express their dissatisfaction or go against a certain element of the game".  The same happened with the Tanki fund, but I leave the rest to you...

I don't dislike any turret, and I have not been undermining anyone's opinion.

I actually feel bad for Magnum because if majority of players that have actually been using Magnum say that it's underpowered crap, then their opinion is much more reliable than someone's that occasionally plays with it or never at all.

I agree. Players will pay crystals for the Scorpion turret.

Before premium was introduced in 2015 game was pretty good without buyers at all

This is completely false. Buyers were still very prevalent, and the imbalance between paying and free players was a lot larger with how battle rewards HEAVILY favored the winners (to the point where if a team got no flags captured, the players would get zero crystals) and the main thing to spend money on was crystals, unlike Ultra Containers which are more indirect with cosmetics diluting the pool.

Also, how can a game survive without buyers like you claim? Alternativa isn't a charity.

I wonder wher's the problem to give us a real date to be able to try this smokyt xxl. Really, this turret is a joke. I need to puke  now :)

[ERADICATIONNATION 185]

So you combined the two most obnoxious turrets in the game (magnum and striker) into one? 

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Is Scorpion the last turret?

IDK but we still doesn't have turret with beam of damage mechanic (old Vulcan) and boomerange mechanic. Never say never I think)

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Real money is unfair.

[Alex_AMG_Music 1]

I doubt you'il add this to the garage. 

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

It will arrive to the garage.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Yeah, its true that players will buy it when it comes to the garage.

[The_Black_Pearl 36]

this is seriously like a combination of Striker, Magnum and Tesla combined and it's really OP as well and as the other turrets collect dust by not utilization this Scorpion will the most favored turret I can already see everyone using this turret and neglecting all the other turrets, what's next for a turret a map destroyer? which means one shell from this new turret later on will turn the map to nothing but dust and everyone on it and getting a 20 kill streak from just one shell, to be honest this new turret is spectacular but it's terrible, I can already see it, "shorten the reload speed like these devs did with the magnum by some augment or another 

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Scorpion's reload speed does not need to be shorter. This turret was intended to be a one-strike-kill when using all of its rockets. Target destroyed when targeting a heavy hull using its rockets. However, the turret's gun in the middle is supposed to be weaker and destroy a heavy hull with two shells.
