"you barely flinch when getting hit with this thing"

Not normally, but a lot of people online tend to fire it in super-quick consecutive bursts, which causes a lot of flinch if you're on the recieving end.

"All guns have pin-point ADS accuracy too"

No they don't. Plus, most guns have visual recoil of some sort. The EM1 has very controllable recoil and no visual recoil whatsoever.

"It also takes 13 shots to kill"

You realise how fast the fire rate is, right? Plus, I'm definitely not convinced it takes 13 at close range; I've killed people with it extremely quickly at close range and have been killed by it before I've had the chance to fire back.

No, AW is not ruined forever because of the EM1 buff, but it definitely feels a lot more unbalanced, especially when that gets a massive buff and weapons like the EPM3 and Lynx are still shit.
