Ela buff idea

[76561199001070672]

I used to be a pre-nerf ela main and still play her very often

Ela is meant to be a operator who can take on many enemies in CQB

My idea is only to buff the Scorpion damage up a little bit because I feel like even in a CQB, she's still having a hard time taking down an enemy as a result of her recoil

Her recoil doesn't need to be buff as I think it is pretty balance for a CQB operator with 40 + 1 bullets in a single magazine

Have you ever tried P90? It has similar damage, more bullets and better recoil. ELA smg needs recoil buff desperately.

I think a recoil buff is fine but not too much because when you are considering her gadget and operator speed, she would be too much to deal with like back in Year 2

The main suggestion for Ela from the community has been to buff the Scorpion recoil in response to her shotgun nerf. I haven't seen a lot of people talk about the amount of damage the Scorpion does. How did you feel about the shotgun nerf?

They nerfed the less used gun that was not OP because this game has always been Automatics>>>shotguns and their own data proves it

I don't personally use the shotgun but I don't think nerfing shotgun isn't a right direction for dev team as people using shotgun a lot is a result from the Scorpion nerf and nerfing the shotgun makes her primary even worse.

I would be ok with even a slight damage decrease if the side to side recoil were fixed. The scorpion is almost as hard to aim as the smg12 which seems unbalanced for a primary

Ubi definetly got the wires crossed if htey thought that shotgun was popular due being strong vs her other weapon just being nerfed.
