It sounds like it is. The best shotguns were the problem. So every single special got nerfed... Yet the nerf also hits the worse specials the worst. Would you want to use pocket infinity now? Just wondering...
I haven't tried yet, but all these nerfs combined:
Only 3-5 crates per map.
25% per use, 2 minute respawn.
Takes 4 crate uses, 8 minutes for full special ammo using 1 crate.
EDIT: Special ammo crates now have a 100m drop radius ( so basically the whole map)
If your teammate takes the crate, you have 20 seconds to pick up the drop or it will despawn (120s resp inc)

Just ran a quick control match on my titan. I dont see a problem. Still sniped & got sniped. I noticed with IB that your ammo drops back to zero when you die. You dont hold reserve ammo post death. No big D. I think it runs pretty smooth. I still got a few shotty kills in but i usually run my primary anyway. The people who truly ran around with special weps only will def be effected bit on the whole i kind of like the changes. I like the feed showing who grabbed heavy and the new box animations. I tried not to stay right on top of heavy waiting for the drop but my team instinctively knew to rally up (total randoms). So far, at least pvp wise i'm feeling the patch changes.
