Others point out that if other lesser-used weapons received buffs, then perhaps the Mangler wouldn't be a go-to weapon for more competitive players. That's something fans don't want to happen to the Mangler too. Players point to the fact that 343 nerfed the Commando Rifle and the Ravager following Halo Infinite's technical previews, resulting in the two weapons largely not being worth picking up currently.
