The Lenz is fine how it is.

   As posts are showing a few people are not showing enough appreciation for the time the developers put into the piece of content. If there is a function error it can be reported to fix bugs where the item is not working. Further use of the item shows that it was made just right in the perspective to be new, creative, and a great idea to further develop new content. The item was also tested and it can only do so much in a limited amount of combinations to the challenging levels of enemies. This leaves the item as a beta concept in practice to bring new and other creative types of content to Warframe.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here (though it may just be terminology - calling a weapon (Lenz) a 'piece of content' to me doesn't make sense).

Their gripe is the fact that the Lenz is designed to be the equivalent of artillery; you take your position, charge it up, and fire. It's not intended to be like the Zarr, which is capable of being much more up-close and personal.

Not to mention the Lenz's inability to fire without a full charge (if DE allowed this, they should have the explosion field scale to it's existing max size, allowing for safer, quicker bursts at a cost of ammunition and kills) and the fire-rate itself.

What I think you're saying is:

Spoiler

 

-People aren't really appreciating Lenz for its capacity for absolute, unbarred destructive capability.
-If it wasn't working as intended, report bugs.
-New Corpus theme visible throughout - see the Staticor as another example of this.
-Unique weapon.
-Weapon is a Corpus prototype, but is in and of itself proof of concept. If the Corpus see us using it more, they will invest in more weapons like this*.

*And they will try to make their next prototypes kill their user some more.

Lenz is fine... as launcher

- focused on kill crowd of enemies, but still dangerous to use upclose, unlike Tonkor's pre-nerf

- low ammo to keep the player moving around

- bad against resilient ones that can resist damage if don't hit on weakspit, like Nox and juggernaut

- big AoE and can show the area's damage before detonating

 

any other launcher, like Penta and Ogris, could use Lenz's status as example to be followed, since all those weapons are "high risk, high reward" type

Finally a thread where people have some common sense!

The lenz is a fine weapon, hell its the only weapon i can call balanced and say that the self damage should stay on it.
