How many more topics do we need to create to NERF OR REMOVE THE SHOTGUNS?

I mean seriously, EVERY SINGLE fight ends with some noob shotgunning the whole squad, because they are too OP, no aiming required, no precision required, just point to a rough direction and that's it...

@heme725 But this game encourages close-range fight that benefits shotguns more than others. The no-recoil R99 is another problem that the game has, but this thread is all about shotguns, so I don't think it is proper to be discuss here.

For balancing, I think at least we need to have the revert buff of the EVA-8. I believe it should be 2.0 attack speed before the last buff it received. And I would suggest a 2-level new shotgun extended mag to all shotguns except the mozibique (cause it is still worse than wingman in almost all of the aspects) with only blue and purple such that the total shots of all shotguns will not be changed if the purple one is equipped. This helps decrease the early-game dominance of shotguns. Or review the shotgun bolt as it is one of the few add-ons that directly increase the DPS of a weapon (along with turbocharger and tempo, but turbocharger is just too hard to find and tempo... honestly it sucks and serve no purposes in this game). However my opinion is just a opinion, it may just far away from people's expectation.

@Xx__Miku831__xX I hear PC players can have ridiculous movement so maybe the anti shotgun crowd plays on PC? In my games most players don't push into close range until they knock/break a player at mid-range first.

I'm tired so I don't understand your ideas. If you're trying to equalize the DPS between the R-99 and Eva-8 at close range then its only fair to make both guns competitive at the same ranges. I don't like the idea of an eva-8 being able to burst me down at midrange no matter how skilled the other player is.

    @heme725 You mean you play in consoles?
    Actually we don't need to have ridiculous movement, just don't die in the way of rushing to them is already enough.
    For consoles, I think the aim assist denies them from rushing as it helps people using R99 to laser beam from 10km away. Yet I didn't play on consoles so I can't tell how aim assist helps them.
