In my opinion, the LP isn’t so much a victim of power creep as others are calling it, as even at the time of its introduction, it was a novelty item. It has a neat, passive ability, and despite said ability being pretty niche in general use, it is insanely satisfying to pull it off. That said, it is an item that stands out due to not being simply powerful. I feel that the final nail in the coffin for the Last Prayer was the introduction of revolvers able to fire as fast or even close to its Hammer Fan right click, the only thing keeping the LP justifiable to use over others.
Here’s my idea. Make standard shots always proc ricochet, and give Hammer Fan 1/2 chance to do the same. While we’re at it, give the LP a bit more reload speed. These tiny changes would massively make the LP more effective in its niche of inadvertently doming skulls.
