As much as I support the idea, it's pointless. The power creep is infinite, and right now you are playing a game, where you can combine: Gladiator Set, Blood Rush, Maining Blow, Primed Reach and Riven with Crit on Slide into a weapon that just deals tens of thousands of damage without any self damage, ammo, aim or otherwise skill involvement - it's even legal to macro it.

Compared to that - does a "super powerful self-killing low-ammo" primary really make that much of a dent on the game?

I recently changed Euphona Prime for Vasto Prime, because I rolled quite a godly riven for it: https://gyazo.com/610702a7d1a1445b60ed3b32d236faed

I do significantly less damage, I have to click a lot and actually aim(instead of blind body-shooting), but it has 0 recoil, 95% chance to deliver a slash-corrosive-heat arsenal of effects, enough crit damage to 2-3 shot a level 100 heavy gunner and it's just like a "point and it dies" recoil-less revolver.

Suddenly - the need to power creep is gone.

Should there come a weapon, which is even remotely close to Lenz in terms of practical application(like 50% AoE weapon) - it would trump it. Because overkill damage may be good for bad youtubers, but it's worthless in practical game.

Build it yourself, have some fun, but, trust me, I think Amprex or Ignis are still well worth the convenience they provide as AoE tools. Lenz is not breaking the game.
