This is what Richard Lewis had to say about this: “I stayed up late last night testing the new CS:GO update and the inclusion of the R8 pistol. I never throw my hat in the ring about game balance issues but this has to be one of the most poorly thought out updates to competitive CS in a long, long time.”
This gun is ridiculous and definitely needs changing, Richard does bring up some good points in his latest video. You should watch it and see if you agree.
