Did Mastiff Get Nerfed?
I swear it's not doing the damage it did before.

@BaldWraithSimp TTK has changed drastically since season 2, it was much lower than it is today - not sure if you really understand TTK so I´ll try to widen your horizon - when weapons are stronger, TTK is lower, hence when they nerfed alot - the TTK went higher.
If we compare the TTK from Apex season 1 - 2 with current, the TTK is much higher. And TTK is a subject of debate even within respawn - it will change, as it always have - it will never be constant.
So perhaps you need to keep to your own advice, if you did not like the TTK Apex had in its original form (from season 1-2) play something else instead of always crying about nerf this or nerf that.
@NitromethaneAP The S2 ttk was alright and I definitely never complained about it which you keep on saying over and over like a broken record on repeat. The guns were nerfed because that's what the community wanted and it's at a much better place now. So ttk went from good to better. It's almost as if the game improved over the years, right?
- @BaldWraithSimp I find myself being much more selective now than I was in Season 2. Season 2 half the fun was what combo I was going to use that match. I had full confidence in a wider range of options.
- @BaldWraithSimp the game might have improved a bit, but the sounds sure hasn't.
@ArchAngeL.PCX There were plenty of complaints of peacekeeper, and it was the same lines as with mastiff. Shotguns simply are antifun to play against. Sure it can feel good when you 1-2 shot someone , but when you have yourself landed every single bullets and are denied your skillful play with something else than Kraber quick scope, it doesn't feel that you got out played. It just feels dirty.
Also alternator shield distruptor... For long time the "Pro" players said that it was fine, they also said that charge rifle was fine. Then after it become popular to use they started to notice that it wasn't quite fine at all.
And ofcourse they abused the living S*it out of them. - @ArchAngeL-PCX I am only selective in ranked. Mastiff had no counter, so I run Mastiff in ranked.
In pubs, I run R99 /Volt/Flatline/Hemlock/R301/Volt/Spitfire. That's a lot of options.
I think to make energy weapons more usable, they need to remove the hop up system from loot pool and integrate them into guns like choke. I'm starting avoiding shotguns altogether. All except Mozambique because I find this weapon to be actually fun to play with. I feel those traditional shotguns being rather 'cheaty' in my opinion. And before anyone comes and says "That's probably you get killed a lot by it!" - Yes, but also no, because I also killed a lot with the Mastiff. A damn lot. Now it's EVA-8 that get's used a lot.
I'm not picky when it comes to weapons. If I find an RE-45, I take it. If I find an Alternator, I take it. If I find a Mozambique... Hell yes I take it.
If I find an EVA-8? I take it, find the next cliff and throw it down there.
@BaldWraithSimpIntegrating hop-ups would be a great idea. I think that would bring SMGs and Pistols not named R-99 of course back into the conversation as well as the Havok.
I mostly use a similar rotation of guns. The Volt has been a nice add, and I also will use the LStar. The biggest change for me has been snipers. I would mix them in Season 2, but since they changed to their own Ammo type, I haven't wanted to mess with them.
