Nerf the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ DOUBLE BARREL SHOTGUN

[Rage]

For the love of ♥♥♥♥, please nerf the double barrel shotgun. It is a stupid meta and takes literally no skill to use, alongside the zap gun. One to two shots on a heavy should not be able to kill them immediately.

I've had instances where light players have dealt 320 damage to me as a heavy with it.

I don't want to be the guy but if you're losing to Light as Heavy from the shotty which takes 3 shots, that's a skill issue.

[Mister Cebion]

to be fair.. when L crouch you cant see them as heavy anymore except you look at the floor :/ and they´re fast like a cockroach and as if not more annoying to catch

[Reticeo]

I main Light and I can tell you the sledgehammer is your answer to this problem.

To be fair, 2 shots + melee does the job. Which means a light can 1v1 a heavy and take him down in under a second. Seems wrong to me.

True but you gotta be at point blank range with a Heavy in order to pull that off which is highly unrecommended. Not to mention the reload on the shotty is pretty long. I'm not saying you can't 1v1 a Heavy, I'm just saying it's not so easy it requires a nerf.

As a heavy main, as long as RPG one shots light getting killed by light is always a skill issue

Best solution is to increase the effective range of the shotty but reduce the damage up close.

Just use sledgehammer or heavy shotgun, This is just a skill issue. Everyone cries about every piece of equipment and every weapon in this game, if it's an issue, counterpick, Nothing is broken if everything is broken.

Nah, it's definitely not a skill issue. Using a zap gun and following up with two, maybe one shot of a double barrel on a heavy is actually broken. Most other stuff is fine, but the zap gun and double barrel are highly abusive and take nothing to learn.

Don't nerf the shotgun, nerf invisibility

buddy doesnt realise that the heavy can one shot lights with his shotgun while the light one needs 2 perfect shots with his shotgun vs tank. massive skill issue.

heavy shotgun does max 104 dmg, so two shot also

Exactly. Thank god someone gets it.

Personally, I think they should just remove the SH1900 all together OR invisibility. SOMETHING about those two need to change because both are easily abusable. Using the stun is just the cherry on top.

It's one thing if you can pull off a point-blank shot through evade or good movement but invis literally gives you that open window pretty much all the time.
