Hinkley just by its architecture promots plasma rifle/p90. But with that drugs/weapon/ammo nerf its just making people creating pure hinkley p90 build what would be never use in a regular TC fight.
Its cool that people can make other than TC builds(plasma tanks, p90 bursters, short range cripplers instead of boring as shit long range sniper or critical bazooka however both of them are usefull in Hinkley) and use them somewhere. Its alternate way for those who are bored about tc swarmfights. Its something different and this makes it cool. No drugs, just new weapons and arenas.
I love to make new builds and im happy that Hinkley gives me possibility to invent them.
And last thing, Hinkley is not TC so why regular TC builds should be best there?

Why people dont use crafter builds for TC? Because want to have the best possible build for TC. Why people make Hinkley builds? The same reason. Hinkley is not TC, TC is not Hinkley. I used to play both, got both kind of builds and i think it is awesome(even if i tried to play regular big gunner at the begin of Hinkley... god i sent to Hinkley my 4 big gunners before i made pure Hinkley build

). The more possibilities the cooler game is.
And the very last thing. Dont change Hinkley into TC. Another clock fights. Omg my drugs, omg its over of my drugs wait! Its new type of battlefield. No drugs allowed. Make new build for new conditions. If u are lazy dont play or lose.
