My short, unbacked opinion of Shotguns in PvP
There is nothing wrong with range or damage of shotguns, it's Rate of Fire that's the problem.
At least for me, when I am going up against someone who has Invective or 4th Horseman, I know I have to be very accurate with my shotgun blast or I will die since they can fire 2-3 times during my 1 shot.
Shotguns with incredible RoF/Have Full Auto, are the ONLY shotguns I get the feeling of "He fire 3 times to my one shot and didn't get punished for the 2 shots he missed" but I can't punish him because I missed my one shot at a lower RoF.
I'll be honest, I haven't used either shotgun, but the Chaperone has a similar RoF, is burdened by a Single Shot Slug, and can't get 1 shot kills to the body except at very close range.
Conspiracy Theory-D is a balanced weapon because the RoF is so incredibly low that missing can be HEAVILY punished, especially if the range to target is misjudged. Not so with High RoF shotguns: just start shooting until you get the kill. Miss 2/4 shots? Meh, got the kill.
I'm adding a poll to see how many people are observing this trend in Crucible as well.

One shot is all you usually need

Shotgunners dont deserve to complain about anything. Not even aids.

Edited by Bloel: 11/5/2015 1:46:26 AMThe only thing that annoys me is people using a shotgun as a primary.. But Im not that good so that may be the problem lol

Invective is the Bonnie to my shoulder charge Clyde... Stop drawing attention to my troll mode duo

Nah. Impact is what does it. If your Impact isn't high, you're going to have to get closer and be more careful on focusing your blast.
-
So don't miss your first shot. I'd much rather have range and impact and kill them before they're close enough to use a full auto shotgun.
-
High rate of fire ones have lower range and impact, so there is more likely that even not missing it will take another shot.
-
The impact bar is the issue on shotguns. Those felwinters archetype shotguns don't even need a range perk.
-
There isn't a problem... Just dumb people running into people and complaining when they get shot gunned.

2 RepliesRange was always the problem. among other things like map design and movement. I'd personally rather deal with a full auto shotgun that has poor range which makes them HAVE to land multiple shots to kill you. Then a shotgun akin to felwinters lie. like yes they are extremely punishable if they miss. The problem is that it's pretty hard to miss an OHK at their optimal range.

Enough

8 RepliesYoure too new at this game to understand how good High Impact, low RoF, shotguns are. :(
