Throwing Knife BUFF! (1/15)

With the 12/5 patch comes lots of changes, one of them being nerfs to the TK's
1.) You'll now have 2 instead of 6. This is fine, I think this is what everyone was expecting. I can deal
2.) Small buff: now able to headshot kill at any range. Cool I guess. I mean, any throw that is a headshot to begin with is so close quarters that it's always a headshot anyways. Not realy a buff in my eyes
And then the kicker:
Reduced maximum damage range from 13m to 6.5meters.
Whaaaaaaat?? Dude, a 50% range loss?? I don't even have to try the changes to know I'm against this.
Take the amount carried down, sure, make them non-resuppliable except by Supply Dyson station, but a 50% range loss is waaaaaay too heavy handed
6.5m is spitting distance. Totally sucks that an outlier like Stodeh who is a scout master class, streams everyday, wouldn't shut up about how "broken" they were and now here we are.

They aren't pushing me off my favorite weapon in the game, come hell or high water
If you play PS4 and find yourself thinking "Holy heck, who was that crazy Recon running around with the knives??" You've been...

Nice. Thanks.
I’ve put in over 150+ hours, and I’ve been killed by throwing knives maybe 3-4 times.
Stodeh is a pro. He is the last person Dice should be concerned about.
The average player will never play that way.
Throwing knives where a great way for Snipers to PTFO
I guess Dice really wants Snipers as far away as possible?
So thanks Stodeh I guess; ruin a class grenade slot because you were good with it?
2 knives and headshot was fine I don't get this castration of range though.
I think this make much more sense then 13m. Sorry i know the game isn't suppose to be realistic...but throwing a knife 13 meters or 42 feet in real life would never be possible and lethal. 6.6m or 21ft is much more plausible.
I expected the capacity reduction, but the range decrease definitely makes them useless. They're not fast enough to really use as a finisher.
I've only ever been killed by one once. It sucks they use the likes of Stodeh, one of the best players in the game, to make balance changes.
