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

Honestly right now where apex stands, the eva 8 shotgun is the most op gun in the game and is ridiculous to go against. It is unforgiving and it almost feels like you have to use it in order to fight back against an entire squad that is running eva 8 with purple bolts that only complements the ridiculous damage that it has due to its recent buff. This is official Shotgun legends.

  • we went from a shotgun meta that can 2 tap people to "a whole squad holding W and Mouse 1 simultaneously into each other face"

    such a fun game design philosophy

    What is with devs? Why are they leaning towards  shotguns that much?

    If you read the patch notes, it's a joke regarding shotguns.

    What does that even mean: "Significantly reduced bolt fire-rate scaling for each rarity tier" ???

    Every other nerf or buff but this damn weapon.. WHY?

    "The EVA-8’s speed makes it a forgiving and formidable shotgun to run. It’s pulled ahead of the pack and has been seen as the clear choice for many leaving the Peacekeeper, Mastiff, and Mozambique in the dust. This change should help even the playing field between the shotguns."

    What about shotguns and  other weapons? Anyone have a valid explanation for that? Since devs just  don't talk about  it. "EVA-8 is strong" well you don't say tat, mister live balancer.... This game is becoming a joke...

  • ...Again, in ranked, this was a joke on nerfing this eva-8, still every team uses them, this game becoming literally unplayable
