Boris's SG = worthless
I have been playing the Boris class since day 1 and reached the mastery level and have to to say glad I did as now the sentry gun has been rendered useless. Before I would get 3 to 4 SG kills during...

@k1u73 I just tried Boris today after not having used him since the beta, and I honestly found the turret overpowered.
I got around 10 kills per match from the turret and on top of that it was 3d spotting every enemy near me for easy kills.

There is no way that can happen. I play 6 hours at least each day vs many players. I set the sg in various positions all over each map. I would like to see your stats for sure.
Given it’s automated and watching 1… 2…. even 3 players dancing around it your reply is sus
Its absolutely laughable at how weak the sg is….
@k1u73Don't know what to tell you. Played 4 matches as boris and got 9, 11, 11 and 8 kills with the turret.
Just place it it vegetation to make it harder to see and stay near it to both boost its effect when you're in the green circle and fire at the same enemies the turret is shooting at.
I had multiple situations where the turret got 2-3 kills while Boris was bleeding out on the ground after I got shot down.- @BizzyVaping Are you defending the objective or playing in the bush? If defending the objective and for many times it’s just me. Sometimes I will have 1 or 2 players inside the objective to assist but to defend from 360 degrees one needs to be in side the perimeter.
Keep in mind I do move to other objectives to assault when I feel it’s needed and defense is no longer needed- @k1u73 I just used it where ever I saw enemies.
When ever I saw a group of enemies I just quickly dropped a turret and got into position before I started shooting at them.
I usually don't get closer to the objective than I have to. I move in just close enough to be capping it, but I never really move in to the flag itself unless there's a tank or something there I have to C5 to start capping the objective.
- @k1u73 have you read text of his passive ability?
It is more effective when you close to the sentrey gun.
imho getting to T1 was ok^^It’s not about getting to T1 it’s about being effective in defending the objective. The sg can damage what ever at any rate and if need be increase the 60k to say 90 k or even 120k but make the sg and the class effective for its purpose. Defending the objective and if nmy can walk up to it shake thine buttocks while taking it out something is not right.
For now it’s only a distraction and and I’ll get a few kills from my lmg and that’s about it.

As long as you stay near it and work with the turret it works great.
Putting it down and expecting it to do the work for you isn't really effective (and it really shouldn't be imo as that would make it damn near impossible to take a lot of objectives considering how many turrets people throw down all over the place)
- @CountSero Oh wow, I should pay attention more. However the closer you are the more likely you will be spotted.
As for kills I'm on 64 player and I get a lot of sentry gun assists.
I suspect it will be nerfed, maybe a range nerf and over the last couple of days I have seen Boris overtake Sundance in the pre round squad screen.
