[@kiritotheabridgedgod4178]

​@@AlejandroGarcia-rv1jrThe role that shotguns play in this type of FPS game, is to give low skilled players a chance at beating high skill players. I fully understand your point if you're looking at a game like CS or Siege, where they serve multiple purposes. (Economy swinging in CS, map geometry manipulation in Siege) However, you can't apply that in a game where TTK is so low. Pro play, close quarters, shotgun vs non-shotgun, basically becomes a test for the non-shotgun of "Can I get off three to four bullets before he can get off one?" and the answer, for people with anywhere similar reaction times, is no.

[@UnshotSpy]

Bruh I've played alot of IW and yeah synaptic is good but not broken. He was easy to counter and this so called "pro player" at 2:15 clearly had no idea what he was doing. all you had to do was just... look where he was rewinding to? not look the complete opposite way and start running like he just stopped existing? It's funny how the only broken thing about Synaptic wasn't even mentioned in this video, and thats how broken his dog form was in Hardcore before it got nerfed. He was basically invincible with it in HC due to having full core health, while one hitting eveything and being healed to full health on kill. But once again, only broken in hardcore.
