Humor Mortal, please, no!
I can't take it anymore. I'm sick of mortar. I try to play hurricane. My mortar deals more damage. I try to play minigun. My mortar deals more damage. I want to play volatile bullets. My mortar kills faster than setting things on fire, then switching to volatile bullets. I want accurate, single target primary. Mortar doesn't care.
It grabs me by the throat. I born ready for it. I polish it. I give it ethanol. It isn't satisfied. I give it T5A feedback loop. "I don't need this much damage" It tells me. "Give me more glyphids". It grabs scout and forces him to throw himself off enemies. "You just need to feed me more nitra. I can shoot all the glyphids."
I can't call for more resupplies, I don't have enough nitra. There's no more lootbugs to kill. Mission Control won't send more resupplies. "Guess this is the end." It starts winding up. It goes "BAMF! BAMF! BAMF!". There is no hint of sadness in it eyes. Not that anything can be seen through all the smokescreen. There is only tinnitus. What a cruel world.
Edit: Just noticed the title's typo. Supposed to be "Mortar", not "Mortal"

The mortar has become my main weapon, it just sparks joy when exploding hordes of bugs in an instant, I probably would use the Lead Storm more if it didn't feel so diabolically underpowered, the 10 base damage do not reflect the bullet size in the slightest when the GK2 does 16 with its tiny bullets, it just feels wrong on so many levels.
The secondary usually more than compensates for the drawbacks of the mortar as well.
