Who had the briliant idea of giving the fastest mercs a god damnt shotgun

Like god damnit you cant escape the proxy/aura horde of shotguns when they are faster than you, and since they deal considerable broken damage at mediumish close range you litteraly cant escape a proxy bunny hopping towards your face at MACH 2

unless you are the spicy meatball master lobbing stickies while running away from them, you have a %50 chance of escaping maybe…

Rage? Lol. I don’t have a problem with them, don’t mind that they have shotguns considering thier tiny health. I play both shotgun and hoch proxy, and yes i jump with shotgun but i strafe with hoch. Its just the way you can play shotguns.

to properly use a shotgun you need be in the face of your enemy. you cant do that as a slow walking pudding like rhino (even though its fun). you do that as a fast moving minemonkey jumping everywhere and landing in front of peoples faces before giving them a face full of lead.

the fact that they are so fast is compensated by their low HP. they are Glass cannons. characters that deal high damage, but die very easily. 2 headshots and those shotgunners are gone. except our lord and savior ainsley harriott.

there is also a big problem with your strategy. when you see an enemy, you dont run away. you stand your ground and fight. no retreat. not one step backwards! its way easier to kill an enemy when you dont have your back to them.

I dont have a problem with them (cuz Fletcher is a demi-god) but since game balance is on the ground Every member of my team aims at the ground missing them getting one shotted, sniped over meters or just litteraly miss every shot because of the bunny hopping mine monkeys. When there is 6-8 minemonkey I just give up because I just know my team cannot hit the broad side of a barn, They just get overrun because as I said they are litteraly coming in swarms at MACH 1-3

And how do you expect me to survive if my healing pulse is recharging and I am low at health, You just cannot run away from them

in VERY close range? yes. in close range, arguably, when getting into to mid range fight? nope. join min level 20 servers and you will see a lot of shotgunners getting rekt.

Well thats the point you take %20-%10 damage at long range if they Iron sight because the spread is a lie with shotguns sometimes, I cant say anything about medium range because its total random sometimes you get medium damage sometimes even one shots, experienced player with a fast merc with a shotgun will long jump / chain jump at your face, end your miserable life ,teabag you and for further increasing the pain will taunt you , I personally dont care about it but I am bothered by the randomness of the damage at considerable ranges. I made a test with a friend because I wondered ; “What the f- is wrong with this damage multipliers” , the ranged damage is pretty much different everytime, it sometimes dealt 50 and sometimes 5 (meatshots with all pellets from the same longish medium range spot).

(Chilled Sanity) #12

Like what is the point of Thunder/fragger, Rhino etc. tank/pointman mercs if they can get one(and a half for fatty) shotted by a shotgun you meant to survive lots of damage while giving some, Like think HK21 or M249 you shot all of your bullets reloading about to finish, finished, BAM you get one shotted by a shotgun even though you had full HP , It just eliminates the point of a tankier mercs since they cant run away from those silly situations when you get overrun and out of Main gun ammo you are just marked to die if you cant find a bait (AKA friend to take the pellets while running away)

(Chilled Sanity) #13

You dont have a chance to counter that mine monkeys or ghetto girl if they get close to you which is easy for them because you can travel a kilometer with a chain long jump if done right , because if they are not autistic and can aim they will either get a big chunk out of you and since you already failed to react fast enough (if you are lucky maybe get some cheeky headshots and survive maybe IDK) they will shot the second round than kill you or kill you in one shot instead

Well, i loose nearly every fight versus an Remburg on pretty much any range. When they deal ~60 damage at around 30 meter range well, im just curios for what i even wield a FEL-IX because the Remburg seems to be the far superior Sniper Rifle.

PS:You think im boasting on this? No im not, if an Remburg comes like 15-20 meter close i eat a headshot from it and if it comes any closer than 10 meter, then im one shot dead. If you dont believe me have a sreenshot of an Aura hsing me with the Remburg.

I’m autistic. how does being autistic correlate to having bad aim or being a bad player? im able to do this kind of stuff while being autistic, so i suppose you just have to git gud.

just gonna leave this thread.

Lol, I’d argue that it’s easier to do it as Rhino, especially considering access to the Ahnuld. Doing 50 damage pings at mid range is ridiculous, and wall jumps are just as broken on him as they are the light mercs.

Shotguns are by no means overpowered, but they are definitely an annoying weapon to fight when the movement mechanics in this game heavily lend themselves to their use.

Autism isn’t a laughing matter. It’s a condition that a person is born with, and can’t get rid of. What you just said was borderline racism coming from these facts.

Racism is treating people poorly because of the color of their skin.
People are born with a certain color of skin and can’t change what their skin color is.
Therefore making a joke about autism is really close to being racist.
