So the DMR can be more than a sufficient counter the sniper/laser at a range
Boltshot is a formidable foe to sword, hammer, shotty, scatter, and sticky det
pro-v can let you know a player has an incinerator cannon or saw - so you can either run or counter at a range appropriatly
resupply perk/map drops gives you more grenades over time than ordinance
Overshield is short and canbe taken out with plasma pistol which can be spawned with.
So yeh I dont see the issue with ordinance. All the starting weapons are super strong and ordinance weapons while giving you an edge, doesn’t make you unbeatable.
