Please buff the other cqc weapons

I'm so sick and tired of running Mastiff just so I don't automatically lose cqc if someone is running one.

    @matzesingt The Mastiff is well balanced there's just a crowd of people that dislike it. Sucks I guess? I hold a powerful hatred for the Volt and R-99 but try to keep my opinion to myself unless there's a balance issue.

    @Daze623 You're right that most close range weapons can't compete. I don't care because I personally haven't seen it as a problem but that statement is true.

    I think this thread should have @Daze623 showing clips 1v3'ing with the Mastiff on multiple occasions, its not that "great" so show us proof or..... Ya know, its just a cry.

  • @Zamaha400 when like 90% of dia+lobbys run mastiff+x then there is a serious problem

    not to mention that that thing is even more broken earlygame vs barely kitted guns...since hey mastiff doesnt need anything its allrdy broken in base version

    @CAGOA34 I have 1vs3 people with other guns. Just depends on the situation as to whether or not I can make it work.

    @matzesingt I'm not sure what they run in diamond lobby so I can't verify that. If it's truly a popular weapon above Platinum then there must be a reason. I'm open to that but so far there are only 2 decent reasons given.

    #1. Its excellent at peeking when the target is close range. High damage shots with minimal chance to fight back. 

    #2. Since the first shot is instant the TTK is arguably how long it takes to fire the second. Gives the Mastiff a remarkably short TTK when you know the target is pushing close range.

    Honestly those are decent arguments but they're buried under so much nonsense around the horizontal spread and how easy it is to use (all shotguns are easy) it's harder to focus on any real points.

    I also wonder if theres anything else OP about the gun but it's hard to trust players' opinions now.

  • @CAGOA34 1 v 3 clips mean nothing you know that right? When balancing something devs/balancing teams base it around how much it's used and how much it "wins". There's a reason why it's a popular gun for diamond+ players.
