I was playing today and some weird crap happened. I was using Assault and a Support killed me with his Shotgun from miles away. (Like 5 meters?) The lobby wasn't that laggy. Have this ever happened to you?
Its happened to me a few times. I dunno how it happens. Ive been hit hard (half health) by a shotgun while the shooter was well out of my hurt gun range. I used to think an accuracy endorsement increased the range, but it doesnt. Ur more likely to hit, but the range doesnt seem to change. It happens from time to time. I just put it in the "**** happens" category.
It's happened to me too. I was across the the doughnut on Steel Peel and I managed to get shotgunned from the exact opposite side of the ring. My Expression: :shock:
the shotgun has pretty far range.. .just loses alot of damage over it, so that's possible why? If not i would blame it on host connection
The shotty's range needs some major nerfing. You can three-shot anyone too easily from about 10 "feet" away. The shotty is definitely OP at mid-range. If you are stupid enough to get into close combat with a support, you deserve to die, but when you cannot fight them at mid-range without definite death, that is the game's fault.
this one time a really overpowered support that no one should ever disrespect because he's a support shotgunned me from his base while I was in my base building level 1 lasers. O-VER-POW-ERED i tell you. no seriously, though, the shotgun can be pretty unpredictable sometimes in terms of RoF and range. I've been the victim and assailant with this. Guess I just get a little too ballsy sometimes when approaching Supports :lol:
Does critical shots boost this enough to one-hit someone it normally couldn't? I don't post here often, but I had to ask to satisfy my share of "**** happens" situations. I have a support with bronze armor, and another support one-hits me sometimes. I do notice that they have critical endorsements, I cannot tell if they are getting crits that shot but they can one-hit me fairly often. 3 out of 4 of his shots a game completely kill me from full health. Did I hit the nail on the head? Is this common knowledge?
Supports with criticals in their build are wasting a sponsor. Its most effective withthe h/h gun, but not worth a sponsor. If ur running bronze armor, u might want to switch to silver. the bronze endorsement, without the lvl 3 passive leaves u vulnerable to a point blank shotty and an assassins front grapple. I forgot to suggest, in my initial post, that its possible u caught the far reach of a juiced round. That might explain the inconsistency with the damage u might expect to see on the edge of his range
The shotgun's range and dropoff is rediculous, i'd say at 15 ft it does normal damage, then at 20 it goes to half, and around 30ft it's nothing, the shotgun's range is the only thing that was ever wrong with the support untill now
Like I said, the shotgun range needs nerfing. If someone is stupid enough to get right up in a support's face, they deserve to die. If someone is keeping them at midrange and dieing anyway, that goes to show the supports shotty needs nerfing.
True, but he's been given a lot of unnecessary nerfs, the only one he ever needed was range on the shotgun
This is probably the most intelligent post I've read in weeks. Really tho, the shotty needs no nerf. Its not like noobs are picking support because his shotty just rapes. There's a reason they all play assault. I've played a lot of support. Ive been finished off by the abnormal shotgun range, but very rarely. I can only recall a couple of times where i've shot someone at a distance and thought, "wow, I shouldn't have gotten that". It acts like a lag issue. Sometimes the guy pulling it off is some low-level player with the base build. He's gotta be host, right? No friggin way that dude has unlocked some secret sweet spot for the shotty. Usually, when I get got with it, it's by some guy I've never heard of who has a couple of really good rounds. Yeah, **** happens like I said earlier, but it happens because of something. Usually after u eat something greasy.
