User blog:Chuckmoney/Wiki remains biased against the Storm

I've posted many edits to the article for the Storm, a Pearlescent Maliwan Sniper RIfle, here on the wiki. As with many of my other edits on certain wikis, these changes were rolled back, edited, or generally cimplained about by the wiki's "regulars" despite any concrete reason for changing them. The changes I made were, in fact, very supportive of the Storm, and indeed used language that would make the gun sound ungodly. It isn't ungodly. It's not even the best sniper rifle in the game.

But it is the best Shock elemental sniper rifle in the game. The best. period, hands down.

And it's a metric ton better than any Shock Pimpernel.

This is why I'm making this post. Many people have made many edits to the page for the Pimpernel. It's a Blue/Unique Maliwan Sniper Rifle. It has an effect similar to the Storm - on hit, 5 orbs fly out and hit nearby targets for 10% additional damage in a small radius. However, the Pimpernel is a vastly inferior gun, and here's why: Now, I'm not trying to put down the Pimpernel - it's an amazing gun, and if you aren't playing a Mechromancer (or a Shock Trooper Axton), you should probably be using the Pimpernel instead (either a Fire or Corrosive version.)  But why the hell this wiki has so much hate for such an awesome gun, I cannot understand. The Storm is a better-than-many-Legendaries weapon that has a wiki page that makes it sound like it's less than a Blue/Unique gun that it is flatly superior to. Hell, with the high elemental chance, it's not even a bad gun for a Zer0 (though a Cobra or Hawkeye WOULD be better, honestly.)  Just about the only characters that should actively avoid it are Salvador and Kreig. Why would it be so wrong to write the damn thing up like the not-quite-goldy gun that it is?
 * Does around 30%-40% less base damage than the Storm.
 * Does 50% less Shock damage than the Storm.
 * Has a 20% lower chance to chock than the Storm (on Gaige, with 10 ranks in More Pep, the Storm actually has a 100% proc chance!)
 * The orbs of the Pimpernel are E-Tech SMG/Blaster orbs.  This means, if they don't hit a target or surface, they dissipate without doing any damage.
 * By comparison, the orbs of the Storm are Thunderball Fists style "airburst" orbs that do guaranteed AoE damage to any target within range.
 * The Storm's orbs fly in a higher arc that allows you to shoot low cover, and the orbs will damage hostiles behind the cover.  The Pimpernel's orbs fly totally lateral and will simply be eaten by the wall.

Because a high-ranking wikia mod hates it. Despite all logic and math to the contrary, someone here hates it. So accordingly, it has a lame page and nobody can correct it without incurring moderator wrath.

And thus why, in 2013, soon to be 2014, we still cannot cite Wikipedia in college papers. Chuckmoney (talk) 19:44, December 16, 2013 (UTC)
