I personally think shotguns are annoying af. I don't think they are OP. I think the fact that 3 of 5 points that you can capture on almost any given map are 90% CQC completely favors scout shotgunners. Which is ridiculous. I turn a corner and I'm dead. A heavy in ADV turns a corner and is dead. I don't have enough grenades for every corner I ever turn in an entire game considering I run out of ammo because I kill so many people (and I have my ammo skill at L3).
That being said, please. If you have a single tip besides "W3LL SP0T THEM FURST LOL N00B QQ!!!!!!!!!!" I would greatly appreciate it. I can't just camp before I go to any point to see if a scout shotty comes out from his hiding spot while my MCC gets blown apart. I kind of have to get that point and by the time I know there is even a scout near me all 575 hp I have is gone and I am on the ground with a sore butt.
Specifically, I'd like to know what pisses off shotgun users to no end. Since that's kind of how I learned to counter SVER's idiotic shenanigans (squad of proto swarm launchers jumping out from a dropship l0l gg). As well as heavies.
I am sure this post has already offended people who put their blood, sweat, tears, and fecal matter into being a "pro" hipfiring shotgun user, and I really hope it makes you cry so you go somewhere to think about how to do something in Dust besides pubstomping, to those who are not sobbing uncontrollably, please help me. It really pisses me off. And it's not a counter. You don't just have something that counters the most numerous class type in the game. Everything can kill an Assault, there doesn't need to be a counter.
Assault is supposed to be able to do decent against everything (which is how every class should be). I find it hard to deal with people zooming past me at 8 m/s pretending to be sonic the hedgehog while bouncing off the ceiling and destroying me in one shot. I think shotguns counter Heavies, and again, if you say that they counter Assault too or something ridiculous like that, then please, make it so my AR does infinity damage and magically kills every class in the game in one shot as long as I'm within 10m, because that might as well be what you're saying.
There has to be something I'm missing because I can kill everything else in the game if I learn to place a grenade right or I get in close with my smg or sneak up behind them or anything else sneaky but shotguns always just have me faceplanting into cement the second I see them, because they tend to make my torso "disappear".
