P.S. I try to play one or two Domination matches every morning, after the boys go to school and before the baby wakes up, it's around 7:30-8:30 Shanghai time. So if you want to kill me, that's where you can find me, but bring your A game, you don't want to be killed by a dev
Last time I saw a Dev play, I sent a mail to them.

You're shitting us, right?
The Shotgun is a tool for pubs. It can't compete against dropsuits with enough HP to tank 2 shots.

The cloak may help you get there, but after you fire the first shot they start to turn around. Before the second shot they've started to fire, before the third shot you're dead.
900 eHP against a shotgun gives you all you need to win an encounter with them.

Their RoF has been nerfed since the proficiency change, their range is horrible, and their worst quality (if I could call it that) is the hit detection. Not only that, but the operation skill makes it harder to use per level, awkwardly enough. If a change is coming to the shotgun, let it be the operation skill and change it to RoF or something useful. Maybe an increase in pellet count or hit detection (lol). advanced and proto shotguns can easly 2shot kill from like 0-15 meters meters with a TTK of like 1 second 2-shot at 15m, heh? Sounds like an easy experiment. Please link video.
At 15m a Shotgun only does 10% damage. . . if you got killed at 15 meters than either someone else was damaging you or you survived the previous damage with a sliver of health left.

I think the latter explains the former. Shotguns also have the issue of the basic being just as useful as the proto... So everyone can use the cheap stuff to farm easily in pubs & keep their costs low... Seen people running basic shotguns on proto suits...
The shotgun has the worst progression in the game. The difference between the STD and ADV is actually significant, but the changes in damage from ADV to PRO is negligable. Even Proficiency, it doesn't change the amount of shots to kill someone.
Since this HP buff to Assaults though, I just laugh it off. I can survive the first shot to the back, turn around, and kill them. They'll get a second shot off, but I still have the HP to survive that one too. They die before they get a third shot off every time.
The only people a shotgun is going to kill in 1 shot are MLT fits.
On the other hand, because the shotgun doesn't come pre-fitted on any starter fits, some people will reluctantly use an unfavored rifle because Medic suits have ARs and Frontline has the racial rifle, and can learn to use the rifles early on. You need to make a conscious, active choice to create a dropsuit fit with a shotgun.
I see 4-8 people a match between both teams where there are people that have gone 0/3 to 0/8
I can believe that the Shotgun has a much higher efficiency than the other weapons because you don't have those new kids equipping shotguns whenever they run into a squad of players with over 50 million SP each.
