Wonder why that is?  its like the knives, once you're in the intended range, its practically an instant kill. when you're paper thin, you need as much damage as you can put to punch through the guys who aren't. Just like all other Shotguns, right? So, tell me then, whats the reason to even try level up your Shotgun skill, if MLT Shotties do the job just fine?
Because they don't if you die to a mlt shotgun in a proto suit. That's your fault, not because the shotty is OP. |

I'm not trying to stay on milita shotty. You ever shot a proto with shotty? takes 3 or 4 to take one down. But adance shotty. I had one in last build. yes.. even proto's took steps back from that. I want advance shotty nooow! |

Outside Nova Knives range, Militia (and Standard) Shotguns don't hit hard enough to one-shot a well-fitted SCOUT.
Breach Shotguns need a range buff, because right now, they have no more range than normal SGs.
Militia and Standard Shotguns might be able to do with a small nerf after the 10% damage buff today, but even then, I don't think they need to go back quite that far. Maybe a 5% reduction after the nerf? |

Switch to Nova Knives. Apparently they're more powerful than a shotgun now and hit detection is awesome. Use the melee aim assist to line up your attack.
Shotguns are sooooooooo last build. |

Why?
Because these things are cheap, but can still pull of one hit kills like the higher tier shotguns, I've seen players use MLT Shotguns as their main weapon, all the time, they've never upgraded because there is no need.
Its not like MLT ARs, in which the smaller magazine weakens the weapon largely, MLT Shotguns might have smaller magazines, but that doesn't matter when each shot can be a potential OHK. Nope, get within 5M and it far game, if you dont want to be one shot by a shotgun use a heavy suit Ask any Heavy, I'm sure they'd say that Shotguns kill them plenty of times. Shot guns kill me plenty, but I don't think they need a nerf. Do I hate the SG player that just killed me? Yes. Do I say SG need a nerf? No. They need to be so close and the RoF of a SG is so slow that if you are with a competent squad that person will be dead right after you, and with any luck the SG targeted me, the heavy, instead of my logibro waiting to stick me. I applaud all you SG users, and normally try to identify and stay away from you in match at the same time. Unless you are shooting at a squadmate and don't notice my HMG spinning up.

You are asking to nerf shotguns, which are SUPPOSED to be a massive frontload weapon, just because you are too dumb to kill the guy before he can close in on you? If you can't kill him before he can close in on you that isn't the shotguns being OP, that's you not knowing when to shoot and when to run.
That said, I went 33/4 with a standard shotty against a bunch of other standard suits, but only because I knew how to engage. Won't say that here though, cuz what moron gives away trade secrets on a public forum? |

ah mr. Tosch, I do one day hope to find you upon the field of battle. then our knives shall truly be tested.
already killed a shotgunner with 'em, twice(he came after me specifically after the first, wonder why). I believe that means he loses his shotugnner's club card, right? third time he brought help, and they got me(stupid mass drivers) |

If ur talking about scouts using MLT shotguns then they deserve the extra fire power.
I
You do realise how much shield and armour these guys have you can kill them with the butt of ur gun.
And you can survive reasonably if you dictate range and if your too close then hard luck that's were they shine.
You catch them in the open at 30m its a different story but you wouldn't want AR nerfed for mowing down ppl at optimal. |
