Lol...talks about shotgun rushing as if there's a counter to it.
Sure, maybe when TLW comes back we'll have a counter.

Simple Just kill them
-
Want to counter shot guns? USE TELESTO. :)
-
Pretty easy to counter effectivelly.
-
I mean you could just not get into shotgun range. You’re not gonna have a whole lot of fun sitting at the back of the map but you can pick at the few people you see to your hearts content.
-
Backup and use sidearms. Get really proficient at sniping. Sub-guns tear up shotgunners. You have to move.

Not every counter is immediately a weapon either. With shotguns I think the greatest counter is not being stupid. Probably 8 times out of 10 I get killed by a shotgun it’s because I did something risky and it just didn’t pay off. Shotguns just punish you for playing reckless. - You can backpedal when they rush. - You can retreat to fight on your terms. - You can try to flank them if you’re confident in where they are positioned. - You can toss a grenade in where they’re camping. Those are just a few I think of because I am not that good at PvP. Others I’m sure could expand on that list. Probably a hundred other things you can do to counter them, all just involving smart play. I tend to do the stupid thing and rush in where I know I shouldn’t, but I also don’t nerf cry when I understandably get dropped by shotgun warriors.

See the problems lie in backwards walking is half the speed of someone rushing. The ttk of most used weapons is slower then the time it takes to close most gaps. As well as if you use a fusion the charge time is longer then the time to rush.And personally I feel the range on then is just a tad too far. Not much so I wouldn't say it needs adjusting. But what do I know. I always felt a great way to put balance in the game is to make ALL weapons kill in a 1.5 sec engagement, non crit. From there things with more range keep that ttk, while others drop off. Perks of course will help lower that, or extend range for those kinds of weapons. Also non ranged weapons get stronger as you get closer giving them a slight improvement to the 1.5 sec ttk. All in all it will depend on perk roll/ loadout to the range you like to play, Play style, and specific engagement to change if your ttk is slow or fast. And if you end up being killed it's not because you weren't using meta and they were, it's because you either didn't play your game right, or they played theirs better.

Lmao...uhhh there's literally a radar that shows you direction and distance. How's that for a counter? OP just hoping that everytime he turn the corner his hip fired scout rifle should beat a shotgun
-
Fusion Rifles Handcannon Handcannon and bow Sidearms Trace Rifles (if they ever fix the goddamn ammo economy for them) Handheld Supernova Not being an idiot Staying away from corners Keeping enough distance to shoot them down before they can reach you Jumping over them Plenty of counters here

[quote]Not being an idiot[/quote] Ngl, this is my biggest struggle in the Crucible.
-
I counter shotguns with a sidearm. Get good scrub.
-
It’s called positioning yourself away from corners so you aren’t an easy kill for a shotgunner. I said shotguns were OP for most of D1, people shouted at me to adapt, and I feel I have now.
-
Handheld super nova comes to mind. Works for me most of the time.

[quote]Lol...talks about shotgun rushing as if there's a counter to it. Sure, maybe when TLW comes back we'll have a counter.[/quote] So you want one crutch to take out another? Well guess what’s going to happen... That same 3.0 player that is good with Shotties is going to put on his own Last Word and mop the floor with you. Then you’re going to come here and cry for a TLW Nerf... The Gun has NEVER made player. Good players will be good no matter what gun they choose to run. 4 years of this crap and you ppl still haven’t figured this out.

-
Telesto... shotgun rushers rarely get me.
-
Wow.. don't be such a 1 dimensional player..shotguns are easy to shutdown..
-

Fusion rifles are literally the ultimate counter to shotguns you idiot think about how to actually counter something instead of just complaining
