... well, I SURE AS HELL HOPE THAT WE'RE GETTING THIS PATCH, since it's also the same one that brings us the new skill level up system. You can now level up multiple skill levels in one go.

Required points for skill level ups, all unchanged for current weapons:
SR 1-20 = 1900
SSR 1-20 = 3800
SSR 21-30 = 4900 (8700 from 1-30, but you can't do that in one go!)
Upcoming Olympia weapons (starting from the next event):
SSR 1-20 = 9420

After this patch SSR weapons still give 350 points from the first skill level, but give only 100 points per additional skill level. So slightly nerfed, but in reality since you overshoot the skill level so badly right now, it doesn't matter much. Some maths:
Where you currently use, for example, 4x SSR2s (with 8 Rs) into skill levels 26-30, you can after the patch use 4x SSR5s into skill levels 24-30 (with 80 Rs). That 72 additional Rs would in the current system get you from 25-26, but not from 24-26.

Sooo... it's KIND OF a slight buff, despite looking bad? I don't see a reason to save up SSR weapons unless you want to level up Olympia weapons ASAP though.
