Yes. Aiming the gun is easy
Yes. The range can be annoying
Yes. Almost anyone can use it effectively from day 1
But being a GOOD shotgunner isn't easy. Top tier shot gun players have immense skills in movement, pressuring opponents, and split second decision making.
I'm not defending shotgunners because I am one. Most people who know me, know that I snipe 99% of games. But it's kind of bullshit to discredit the skill set of another player.
I personally find using shotguns effectively very hard due to my passive nature, so when people make the statement that they take "no skill"... well I must just suck really bad. Right?
Watch the video, actually listen to my argument, then debate it all you want.

Bearbeitet von gtarhro7: 5/14/2016 12:51:28 AMIt should be common Destiny forum knowledge that players here will try to belittle any gun or mechanic of the game because they got killed one too many times by it. Ignoring the fact that MAYBE, just MAYBE, there's someone out there in this world who's just a little better than they are.

1 AntwortenAnd with all the nerfs this weapon class has gotten over this games life span you gotta give us props to find a way to still be good with these weapons.

2 AntwortenLike someone said below- anybody can equip the best shotgun and get a few kills. Everyone can't equip the best sniper and get a few kills starting off. But as you said, the better you get and higher KD you have, the harder it is to use a shotgun efficiently. Top tier shotgunners are badass. I've lost multiple times to them lol

And sure, skill makes it easier to shotgun, but its not even slightly hard.

I love melting shotguns with my fusion, come at me bro

I generally don't enjoy your videos or get your sense of humor but your newest video of you getting stomped in rumble gave me a good laugh. I have an edited video in my ShareFactory of myself getting the sauce I have to upload to my channel tonight.

Hah. No.

The way I see it, if you can't kill me in the time it takes me to get within kill range with my shotty then u deserve to die

I respect good shotgunning, but people that just sit around a corner crouching with a shotgun are not skilled. Those people can -blam!- off. Same goes for snipers that just sit in a head glitch and never move. People are so worried about a KD that doesnt mean shit. Is my KD good? -blam!- no. Do i care? -blam!- no. I get some pretty fun/crazy kills because i dont care. Thats why i have fun playing.

6 AntwortenNah, sorry Tash, but I disagree. I'm primarily a sniper, but when I enter a game full of annoying shotgunner, I'll put one on too and go on easy kill streaks. With the slightest bit of sense, shotguns can be pretty easy to use.

Saw your video on YouTube yesterday. That's great you share it here. People are just salty as hell about shotguns, they just don't understand that most of the time they are outplayed or have done mistakes (and yeah this goes the same for all other specials). Keep up the great content on your channel, it's always a pleasure to watch advices or points of view that are well explained by a great gamer. Cheers

Great post and video Mtashed, been trying hard to not suck with the new patch and crucibro after leaving 7 months for BOPs3. Finally pulled a 5.11+ KDR with a shotgun in a pub match today, finally getting there!

I use both types a sniper and a shotty but personal I don't think they use skill it doesn't take a person with a IQ of 2 to shotgun rush, these days I would say skill is with the people who use primaries because you have to out smart the shotgun rushers and the sit on my arse snipers. For example I used the universal remote the other day in a game of skermish and salvage both games the enemy couldn't touch me, I'm hurting myself when I say this but it was mainly down to the op weapon I was using.

Thank you

"Shotgunning isn't easy"

I'm [i]very[/i] bad at crucible and mainly use fusions and occasionally snipe. I was excited and used Stolen Will in mayhem the other day and went positive while dicking around. They're pretty easy, muh.

Do fusion rifles take skill? How bout sidearms?

Bearbeitet von JHarv: 5/12/2016 11:30:56 PMIt's all about Bros with scufs or elites and good connections. And shotgunning is easy. Give a noob a sidearm and see if he does any good

5 AntwortenShotguns are for sweaty scrubs with no life but Destiny. Sniping is so much harder and for the pro's. Shame on all ye filth who rely on the OP'ness of shotguns. Git GuD!

The only thing that takes skill in this game is being versatile, being good no matter what weapons, if you are able to shotgun well but switch to a sniper mid game and do just as good is what proves skill
