Using a shotgun intelligently actually takes a decent amount of skill, especially against higher tier players who 100% will punish you for misplays.
I chuckle when I see the average ape tape down w and run in a line towards me with their shotgun out. Part of the skill of shotguns comes not from the mechanics but rather the ability to close a gap and survive in close quarters.
I’ll give you that 120s are busted right now but I’ll take that any day over stasis ability spam fest

There's always one. There's no intelligent way to use shotguns, period. You either wait behind cover, crouched, or run in like a dumbass ape because you can't get kills with anything else.

Edited by Cho: 4/6/2021 7:37:50 AMJust by saying that you’re really just confirming to me you have no clue what you’re talking about and the reason you think there’s no skill involved is because you get destroyed on a regular basis. The fact you’re saying those are the only ways to shotgun speaks to you being clueless in the nicest way possible

So tell me then, what other ways are there to shotgun huh? Because those are literally the only ways to use them. You just don't want your crutch to get nerfed because you're a -blam!- with no other gin skill. Eat my ass

Edited by Cho: 4/6/2021 7:51:06 AMAhahaha stay mad man I don’t shotgun too much but I’ll humour you. Taping down w gets you nowhere, same with crouching in a corner (however sometimes these are smart plays if the opponents are especially gullible and the situation calls for it) If you want to shotgun intelligently you have to pick your fights, learn how to close distance, know your ranges and when to use a primary. Most of it comes down to decision making- knowing what weapon to have out at what time, when to ape, when to hold back etc. Essentially becomes a game where you try to exploit and punish the opponent’s poor play or positioning, which is why shotgunning gets a lot harder at higher tiers of play. I’d say these nuances are lost on you though
