Mastiff too powerful at close range

Yes its exactly that. I don`t know how much pros you are watching, but i watch them a lot, and i`m not talking about tournaments only, because there as i said a lot of things are different, like what i said, aka loot distribution and you can`t loot freely as in ranked or normal lobby.

And saying Pro are using Eva8 at the same rate as Mastiff may not only show how little you watch pro players.

Every top players is dropping Eva8 for a Mastiff. Not for once i see someone doing the opposite, which speaks for itself.

Yeah there is probably people that are playing Eva8, because they like it or are very use to it, like Rogue(but even he lately its dropping it for Mastiff, and he is world best Eva8 player which speaks for itself), but the % its too low.

In most tournament, and ranked(unless we are talking about ShivFPS, he plays almost anything and Rogue, who plays R301), the number 1 weapons are Wingman/R99 and Mastiff.

Some of the teammates may use G7 Scout or similar weapon, if he wear Evo in order to level it up without being in danger. Every pro doing this actually.

But again looting in tournament is different compare to ranked/normal games.

And yeah Mastiff spread is wide ... This is the main problem with it, even with good movement, and against bad aimer he will still do damage to you, which shouldn`t be the case.

And yeah a lot of pro said it Mastiff is a must and OP, like Hal, Albralelie and so on.

Also almost every tier list have Mastiff as the best weapon, some even rate it higher than some of the CP weapons, which speaks for itself ....

70 damage for a shotgun should be the optimal damage and its balanced towards the TTK and other weapon damage. With the shotgun you got a lot easier time to aim, because your crosshair is like 10x time bigger and the range of the shot is quite big.

Also 70 damage means you can 2 shot a enemy with EVO shield, and 3 shot an enemy with Purple armor, if all the shots are right on the target.

Its more than enough damage for a shotgun.

70 damage is like 65% of your total hp if you have purple armor(even more on LP), saying this isn`t enough is complete joke in my eyes.

This is it from me for that discussion, lost enough of my game time in here.

I said what i think about the mastiff and for me its completely broken and OP, no CP weapon should do 120+ none headshot damage in a close range, should have that wide range of its spread, be that noob frendly and have that range to shoot from distance, yet being a ***** shotgun.

Completely noob friendly and unbalanced.

Continue like that Respawn and soon you will lose a lot of your playerbase, and the game will be filled with even more cheaters.
