How is "just deal with it" useful advice anyway? The BRD changes have created problems all over the place where none previously existed, especially for otherwise hard-working players for whom 2.X BRD represented their only path to dealing with latency adequately.

Higher damage (and, as has been pointed out over and over again, BRD's numbers are barely higher relative to other players than they ever have been) are irrelevant to these changes. Numbers can always be adjusted and this was never about increasing BRD's damage output anyway.
