I don't think it's just the stats most people are upset about. Seems like they're more disappointed with the semi-auto mode. Honestly, I have to agree with them.

For all of it's novelty, semi-auto isn't actually that useful; Full-auto already has good accuracy and moderate recoil to begin with, and as far as ammo management goes, simply burst-firing would suffice.

Furthermore, if I am correct with my calculations, semi-auto deals about 45% less damage on average, or 27% with the usual crit mods.

Honestly, the Stradavar is a decent mid-tier weapon. Not every weapon can be some OP beast that melts high level enemies, and that's okay. What matters is that it's fun to use at the levels it was balance for. But in terms of actual weapon mechanics, semi-auto capability and 20% crit chance just simply are not enough. It needs a bit more 'oomph', if you will.
