What are you talking about? Recon is worse too now. There is no distribution. Sentry got gutted and recon did too. He’s worse in both modes.
They already nerfed sentry to redistribute power to the rest of his kit in bastion’s first rework and it didn’t work out. He used to have headshots and lower starting spread. Trying the same thing again is stupid. If you want to nerf sentry mode to buff recon there are better ways to do it beyond nerfing the damage. You could reduce his ammo for example. That way Sentry mode is still just as useful you just can’t use it for as long.
