Universal Remote Hated now?

Right... so in Year 1 all of you people listed Universal Remote as one of the worst exotics. It's quite funny to see it now being dissed as overpowered nowadays. I believe this is because it's been untouched and everyone is looking at its Exotic Perk and touching themselves because of it. Let me clarify: [quote]It is NOT Shot Package Year 2[/quote] It's good, yes, but not as good compared to a Chaperone or a Party Crasher in range. Shot Package had way more range, trust your fellow shotgunner. Now. This Junker is indeed a Beast, but overpowered is just a dumb statement. You are giving up your primary to have either shotgun and sniper, shotgun or sidearm. Pairing a shotgun and sniper is powerful, but bad in the long run. Want to pick off the guy you primed? Bad luck. Want to trade with the Hawksaw in the corner? Yeah. Good luck quickscoping him. All in all its just bad news. Yes a powerful duo, but not a viable one. "But NHero, you have unlimited Shotgun ammo!" Yeah so does Invective and no one cries Nerf at that. In fact any Shotty with Performance Bonus can if your lucky. This doesn't really effect anything. I mean I rarely run out of ammo since special ammo spawns pretty frequently. Yes, as a Shotgunner myself, I may be biased, but I see no problem here. You are sacrificing your MIDA, Last Word, Hawksaw and whatever else this META uses for an average Shotty. A Junker that with the trained eye is a Beast. If your getting outperformed by a Universal Remote then maybe you just got outplayed. Maybe? If the Snipers are still gonna Body Shot to Primary, then let the Shotgunners be warriors. Same low skill requirement. TL;DR It ain't that bad people.

    Its because the philosophy of limiting special ammo makes people use guns like universal to have unlimited shotgun ammo. Universal remote's value is increased because of the less specail ammo available.Invective takes a very long time to regen ammo. Im against limiting special ammo. use what ever you want. i might put on a universal if i must shotgun on a map and dont want to be limited with ammo. I feel nobody should have to portion out there ammo in a Fps. the wait times for special can be way too long.
