@jlpoddie413 I agree about everything except the shotgun part, those things are broken at least the eva 8 and the peacekeeper... the mastiff might aswell get care packaged eventually so its viable again after the nerfs

@TheApexLegendNub I have noticed a lot of people share a distain for the shotguns, from the various forum posts.
Being almost forced to use them in order to complete the tedious and repetitive shotgun challenges in arena and battleroyal, I found them to be far to inferior in a 1v1 scenario, against an automated weapon... Since the damage per second was so low and damage output so inconsistent.
I'm yet to see anyone carrying a shotgun in endgame within the Plat/Dia lobbies. Whereas, season 1, we had the Mastiff.
But, I will admit I seem be in the minority on this one, so maybe I'm wrong.
They're also nerfing the Eva-8 on Tuesdays update, so that will appease a lot of people. But to me this is Respawn once again taking a lazy approach to weapon balancing, and not addressing the weaker weapons in the game. Which is what my entire post is about.
Now next season if you land on an Eva-8, as opposed to a R99 or any other top their weapon... You simply don't stand a chance of winning the fight. Just like you don't now with the Mastiff.
