Shotgun Balance?!

(Ottah) #1

So with news of the upcoming Crotzni and Kek-10 nerfs, what will be done to pull shotguns in line?

I’m fine with them being the masters of high close range damage, but right now it feels like they are more then usefull at medium range as well and often outgunning smg users.

Isent that suppose to be the terrain of the smg, medium range effectiveness? it really irritating to fight all these jump spamming, bouncing off walls aura’s and proxies, having hit 1/4 of your clip already and then they just two shot you from medium range anyways.

They don’t. In competitive, it’s SMGs that are outgunning Shotguns.

A streamer on twitch already shined through that the crotzni and kek-10 will be nerfed next patch.

Also, i’ve watched lots of competetive games and you still see lots of shotgun users, mostly proxies and auras. unless you are talking about long range harassement, then yes, the smg is better.

Besides comp or not, i dont think that will mather for splash damage. Phantom is currently causing zero issues in comp play, yet he is on the chopping block for nerf/tweaks/reworks.
