If guns were created with balance in mind (I know Warframe doesn't work that way,) I would've loved to hear them as they created the Soma.

Guy 1: Okay, let's give it the best crit modifier among automatic weapons so it's instantly a DPS king. That can be it's 'thing'.

Guy 2: Sounds good... but let's also give it the biggest magazine size and a fast fire rate.

Guy 1: Alright... We should probably give it pinpoint accuracy and no recoil, right? That way you can use it to full auto snipe across rooms?

Guy 2: Hmm, maybe. We should add a negative though, like a half second windup time that's completely unnoticeable with fire rate mods.

Guy 1: This weapon looks really powerful now... Let's make it easier to acquire than just about everything else.

Guy 2: Perfect. Oh, but let's give people the two most valuable polarity slots right away, that way they can save two forma and miss the really bad low level portion of the weapon. It'll be a weapon that easily clears any planet mission with just a catalyst!

Guy 1: And, done. Great, now we can get back to balancing Blessing...

-Of course, I know the Soma is just put in the game so newer players can get an easy taste of end game power weapons. The lack of negatives on the gun is kind of amusing though.
