With all of the OP weapons getting nerfed, the shotgun is going to be more viable in 1.8. Combining that with the cloaks and buff to the scout suits I think we shotgun scouts are going to have fun!
I fear that if hit detection was fixed the shotgun might seem too powerful and people are going to complain that it's OP, which currently it isn't because of it's limited range and hit detection, but when those OP weapons are brought down a notch, the shotgun is going to glow a little more and shine in the eyes of our enemies.
Viability also increase with the increase in TTK, which is going to make scouts even more viable since we'll be able to take that one extra bullet and evade the rest.
I'm not saying we shouldn't fix the shotgun, that hit detection is bad, but when 1.8 comes out, the shotgun is going to look better than now, without having anything about it changed. If we do get a shotgun buff, it should really just focus on hit detection and a little bit of range, because anything more than that will warrant complaints from many players and I wouldn't like to see the shotgun nerfed....

I honestly see no need for a shotgun buff. as long as they FIX THE HIT DETECTION AND THE ****ING SPRINTING BUG, then i'll be fine. 
to be honest, I already get 20 to 30 kills a game almost every match with it.

If the minmatar scout keeps its bonus to nova knives, I am going to cloak, sneak up behind people, and relieve their legs of their torsos with my ishikones

That's the idea! You could almost do it just as well with the shotgun.

Unlikely that the shotgun is going to get a nerf. The ROF is great especially with proficiency 5, and the damage is acceptable even when there are super tanked heavies around.
Assassination is my thing.

Slow as f*ck, may as well just use medium armor at that point.

Maybe I read the Dev Blog wrong, but it seemed that they lumped the Shotgun in with the other weapons when it came to the Proficiency Skill change. Currently, Proficiency gives an increase to the ROF, but if they've changed it to match the other weapons that would mean that it will increase Shield damage instead; which would mean an unintentional nerf to the Shotgun.
Like I said, I could be wrong (I hope I am), but if true, I don't think the Shotgun will perform as well as you think in 1.8. |
