@Ff3NiXx As if you fully assumed that I was a camper based on what? xD I hate slow matches where you don't see anyone. I like playing as Revenant and Octane but yeah sure I'm a camper *eyeroll* If someone wants to camp then they're free to. The game, well ranked at least, encourages this kind of play. So I don't see why you're moaning.

Like you said @Zamaha400 it's usually whatever someone's dying to. In this case it's the mastiff next season it'll be something else. You made very valid points about the other guns.

I have complained about that from the very start of "Mastiff era" when it was back into the normal loot.

Mastiff Legend, as ShivFPS says.

I get away from the game in Season 6, cause of the bad TTK and totally messed up weapons balance, as well as for many cheaters and no-recoil and all macro users and so.

I get back in Season 7 just for a while. I usually play SMG and AR as a combo. But when i get back up i needed some time to get used to again. And Mastiff is super common, and i decide to play with AR and Mastiff for a while. And even in the beginning when i was totally off the game, my K/D/R was way higher when i played Mastiff, compare to AR/SMG when i was once again sued with the game later.

Its a noob friendly weapon and im okay with it, but its range should be no more than 10m. People use it for a spamming kill when someone trying to run, cover or regroup at a distance, and its doing way too much damage at higher range.

With Eva8 for example you won`t hit any of your shots at some distance, with Mastiff you will get plenty of damage, and because of its huge pellets spread, you will easily pick targets that are away from you.

Also there is pretty much zero good strafe pattern to dodge Mastiff shots, unlike Eva8 for example. Eva8 spread is lower and its damn easy to dodge this shots, Mastiff is impossible.

On close range or closed placed, Mastiff is absolutely a must, otherwise you are playing at a huge disadvantage.

I got no problem with Mastiff being strong, but its totally off the mark.

Best jiggle peeking weapon, and you pretty much dominate with it.

A good way to balance it is too just reduce the spread of its pellets, and will still be strong on close range, but not so much at spamming with it, and picking a distance target.
