I never use it and i almost never hear somebody using it.
Would you miss it if there wasn't?
Personally my answer is no, whenever i use the charged shot is for error, but most of all without it, the ion pistol would shoot on pression and not on release.

What... the charge shot is the only reason I use the damn thing! Killing cal/min starter fits in one shot... and that headshot bonus is very lethal for heavies too.
40 kills with the most basic, cheapest possible dual-wielding standard Bolt Pistol fit...

I would miss it aswell. I use it mostly for executions, but should I ever be in a covered fire fight with someone ten feet away I will use it then as well lol; I have attempted to use it as a last ditch effort with no life and I think it worked out once.

Charge shot is mainly useless.
A lot of the people that say theyd miss it probably dont even use it as their primary sidearm.
It's best to think of it like this, would I use it in a PC match? Hell no, its a huge liability and the detection is still terrible on it.
The Ion Pistol by itself is pretty on point now besides the abysmal range but that charge shot still has a lot to be desired.
Also I want my full auto Ion Pistol Variant.

I do use the ion pistol as my main side-arm and I would miss it. While I would not use the charge shot in PC I riot only use it for one shotting rather weak suits I have snuck up on (ie snipers). Additionally, since the overheat lock is much shorter now I don't even mind if it isn't a one shot kill since is quite ammo efficient. Downing that much damage in a single hit scares people which is fun and makes finishing them off much easier.
Now with more evil.

They're great for killing scouts with. One burst one kill style.
And when you're only one second away from getting Nova knifed that one shot vs trying to hit several shots will be the difference between life and death.

I used the charge shot in a PC before the buff and killed someone.

I really detest the ion pistol charge mechanic. It's clunky and incredibly hard to use on a weapon with only nominal utility to begin with.
Autoseize is not a fun mechanic and kills you if your target has an IQ higher than room temperature.
EVE Online is what you get when engineers attempt to create "fun" without consulting someone who comprehends the word.

The chargeshot feels like a need at times when the mechanics that allow the charge shot actually mess with the weapon, for example the weapon randomly seizing, charging at the end of the clip instead of reloading, seizing at random intervals between 8 and 12 shots, etc. Unfortunately removing it like I previously suggested would lower the DPS because of how the charge mechanic increases damage.

I don't want it REMOVED.
I would like to see it be less crappy.

I use it as my primary weapon on my scout and primary sidearm on my assault. I understand the deficiency in having a shield dmg profile as secondary, but I don't feel the need to tryhard for kills; I favor balanced/challenging game play.

I like it when I use it. Only problem I have with the pistol is how the heat up mechanic works.
That said, try using the charged shot on a sniper. Works wonders.
EDIT: Charged shots (Ion/Scrambler) need their bigger shots, again. Remember when they actually looked different than a regular shot? |
