the house is not balanced
At least in terms of PVP, the house is not balanced. Compared to the game's other prominent weapon, the LWM4, the house has the same RPM, almost identical per bullet damage (not accounting for weapon damage bonus on gloves), faster reload time, less recoil, and critical hit chance instead of enemy armor damage. Card counter is also better than any other damage talent one could possibly roll in the free slot of an M4. The higher accuracy, better optimal range, and +25% headshot damage multiplier on an M4 is not nearly enough to compensate for the aforementioned advantages of the house. Every other SMG has been an instant deconstruct since this weapon was released into the game.
I don't expect this to be adjusted since D2 is releasing in the coming months, I just wanted to say that I hope balancing is handled better in D2. This was done very poorly imo.
