Shotguns need nerf, now.

[quote=“Szakalot;9548”][quote=“B. Montiel;9546”]Still, merc available atm makes the game shotgun crowded.
More and more proxy players are going hochfir builds so I guess that’s for a reason.[/quote]

I’ve always considered this SMG subpar to the alternatives, but it actually comboes quite insanely on a light merc. High RoF, pinpoint accuracy + light’s mobility and you’re basically playing a Quakelive character with LG against CS players.[/quote]

Seriously, the SMG proxy will become a very big thing soon when people realize just how accurate the gun is and how quickly you can kill with it while also being able to switch to a slightly less powerful secondary. Combine that with her speed and you create a flanking machine that can down 2-3 people very very quickly while also escaping bad situations.

I couldn’t use the rifle, mortar or MG in ET but never complained about them. My suggestion for the shotguns have not changed over the last 24 months. Give them to the heavy classes as with lights it just ISNT WORKING.[/quote]

I agree, but what to give proxy as a primary ?
her machine pistol is a fav gun[/quote]

A scout rifle.

Haven’t read a single thing in this thread btw. I have no problem with shotguns it makes new people believe that they are good, what i have a problem with is with good people using shotguns that’s just down right disgraceful, have some respect for yourself. I have never used shottie in any betas, you devs have seen Kudo’s stream you saw him go something like 70/5 k/d, he called OP, treat your hardcore fans with some respect, i ain’t willing to fight fire with fire and use that cancerous gun.

shotgun crutch?

I personally prefer an SMG on proxy, I don’t think anything is broken at the moment save the healing rate on auras health station is a bit silly.

Its the only way to get people to realize its OP and complain enough to get it nerfed by the devs.

For the past 3 beta phases we have complained that Aura’s healing station is OP and nothing has happened.

In protest I have taken to purposely running around corners while being shot, plunking down a station, wrecking the Skyhammer that was chasing me, and then tbag him.
