To be fair all shotguns are murder machines right now. You're just trying to decide which one has the most aids.

This is a good point. The reliable 1 hit kill range on the worst possible archetype/roll and best possible archetype/roll is, quite literally, 6-9m, which is within the margin of Host Advantage anyway.

Any gun works until you’re in skilled lobbies

Any shotgun works until you’re in really skilled lobbies

Only retold, dust rock, mindbender and toilet trouble (and chappy but that’s it’s own thing) work in really skilled lobbies

Impact stat is kind of king. Dusk rock has the most range for the most impact. That's why it's aids.

I think his point in that it has the same stats as Retold Tale but people mostly talk about Dust Rock Blues around here.

My guess is that it’s just because DRB lets you run Trust or Luna’s in your energy slot. If you’re using Bygones then you can get pretty much the same shotgun in the energy slot with Retold Tale.

My solution was just to be really bad for a really long time until after enough practice, my game finally came together.

And I'm hoping to move past the being bad part soon!

I played a comp match last night when I was finishing my lunas where a guy got four in a row because the bluebs on my team couldn't help themselves. Dude was terrible with actual guns.



Supers need some tweaks; for starters the hunters blade panic gets it's damage resistance from the beginning of its animation so it survives a striker slam and shoulder charge and survives a direct hit hammer. This is really dumb since it means it's an instant win even if someone is really dumb about popping it.

Imo scale that back a fraction so the person using it needs some situational awareness.

Nova warp is impossible to out run in a straight line, and has more range in its pop than a striker slam which lol. It also goes through walls and bridges etc that nothing else seems to. It can also survive a point blank shotgun and follow up punch.

Burning maul is 100% useless in PvP. Give it a movement buff or something. Make the spin close distance maybe?

Golden gun still has some hit detection fuckery but it's mostly fine.

Most other stuff seems fine-ish I don't see a lot of spectral blades but it seems ok but I still don't get how their balance has stuff like:
Dawn blade you can throw 10 blades, move super fast everywhere but hammers doesn't get a movement buff. You can throw I think 6 if you spam them (iirc) the projectiles are slower moving and track less but In exchange you get your enemies to explode but it's inconsistent in proccing and doesn't deal as much damage as graviton spooge.

The vanilla supers need a buff to bring them up to the current level. Especially nova bomb.

Weapon balance is pretty good at the moment outside of telesto, you could argue certain dusk rock blues should have their wings clipped too. The range at which it can click your lights out is stupid.

Heavy spawns in comp in general need to gently caress off quite a bit though. It should take twice as long as it does now to spawn up. I played a game last night where a dude got 18 grenade launcher kills because he didn't stop camping the heavy crouched with a grenade launcher and a one eyed mask. Dude could shoot the poo poo out of his grenades but it spawns waaaay too often in comp especially in survival, control and clash.

I dunno. I played a lot of comp in the last 4 days and that mode is far from polished.

Not hard to make the argument some adjustments are needed when you load into games and there's 4 hunters running blade barrage and 3 nova warps.

Supers have been killing other supers since always, man. What are you even talking about? I used to kill all sorts of supers with Golden Gun, like going two-shot on Titan bubbles and using the third to kill the nerd. Was that bullshit or was it Destiny? Would it be better for you for Hunters to go back in time so they can throw their arm up and hold their cute glowing gun in the air and die like a poon as anime warlocks and Captain America Titans murder them with ease? Would that be less """"""bullshit""""""" enough?
