Shotguns are Rampant, Snipers/Fusion rifles need love (PvP)
Shotguns are overused, overperforming, and in the case of Felwinters, overpowered. Shotguns were a go to choice for many players even before the nerfs to snipers and fusions. While they are usable, they are not fun to use. With snipers, one SMG bullet from across the map will send your reticle to the sky box. And since they nerfed the aim assist theres no leeway. Trying to play aggressively will only get you killed. With snipers now there seems to be only one playstyle: sit in the back and hardscope. Fun. Fusions are just shotguns with a wind up, which makes them objectively worse. Shotguns are too easy to use for how powerful they are. They fit into almost any loadout way too well, and because of the close range nature of almost all pvp maps, there's never a reason to swap. But they are too inconsistent to nerf.
Revert the sniper flinch nerf and the fusion rifle nerf. Make sure quickdraw never appears on a shotgun again.

Edited by an Ape with a d2 addiction: 3/3/2021 11:53:21 AMHow is felwinters overpowered? Genuine question. Compared to a max range quickdraw opening shot aggressive frame? Can you spin it as an outlier? Take it a step further. Remove QD and snapshot from all special weapons. Make handling actually matter for once as a stat so folks cant always go all in on range. Disable scavengers in pvp. Spawn with 2 ammo. Make only primary kills drop more special in pvp. So special isnt the primary and primary isnt the secondary. Also imagine not being able to consistently outduel primaries with a sniper. Imagine having to, what was it? Yeh, [i]getting the first shot off with a sniper.[/i] Not being able to play aggressive with mediocre aim. Having to play long ranges. With a sniper. A long range gun, alleged(TM). Not like 131 - 158 damage on a bodyshot's overtuned at all either. On a [i]precision [/i]gun. Imagine having to consider using a primary in this game. [spoiler]This is all PC / mnkb. No idea how console / stick platforms play in the context.[/spoiler]
