Ok, since you said please
I think the weapon that switches back and forth from short range to long range would be interesting, but it would probably have a cost increase to account for it. I don't know if the mappers would go for that. A custom gun has been suggested before, I believe the mappers said it would be too complicated and they didn't want to bother with it (I'm not using direct quotes because I have a terrible memory). The long range upgrade to short range would probably introduce some imbalance, but with some good testing I think it could work out if people are willing to give it a shot. About the high cooldown weapons, I've always been a fan of those so I agree completely; there's already a few, and I think the distribution is good, but if new weapons are introduced some of them need to be like this. Also, I don't think we have a short range high cooldown weapon as of yet; I'm not quite sure why, other than that it would be hard to hit with and would probably have to do massive amounts of damage per hit.

You may notice that some of my posts are somewhat disconnected in their ideas and don't really flow that well. That's because my mind drifts around like a jellyfish in a strong ocean current. You just lost the game.
