The Shortstop is OP

[Hswift]

I think the shortstop is OP because it reloads it's entire clip at once and has no downsides. It is a direct upgrade from the stock. Is there hidden stats or something? Please tell me gaben is playing tricks on us!

If you get hit by a rocket, it sends you flying into space.

ShortStop has almost no spread compared to the scattergun.

Crazily enough this usually helps me get away most of the time. The rest of the time I fly off cliffs in a glorious hand to hand fist fight with physics.

Because nobody in tf2 looks up.

no

Smaller clip size
Does less close range damage
Greater push from damage

It's a spammy weapon for sure.

[Cibuku]

I love it. i have strange version of it. And it really is OP. Valve please nerf.

Reload is still pretty slow despite it supposed to be a faster reload, there's increased push force from knockback, and the push mechanic is a pointless gimmick that takes to long to use and leaves you vulnerable compared to every other scattergun's knockback.

[Nice shot!]

The "hidden" stat is that it does les damage. Once play enough TF2, you'll realized just how important that 100 damage threshold is to scout.

[Stellar Fox]

now that they removed the more health from health packs stat is trash

[GreemBeans]

It shares ammo with secondary pistols, making the two together pretty much unusable.

I agree that the push mechanic is B.S, but it's reload is still much faster. I tested. I noticed it's lack of spread. I guess no spread is good if you can aim but bad if you cant.

But did you notice it's pitiful damage?

Less spread may also be something negative, Shortstop is bad at close range but is good at medium range and good for harassing at long range.
