If its chest/head/groin that is splinted and you get FFed/acided/slashed once/naded/anything, then you have to spend 10 seconds to splint yourself, or run and die out of the organ damage and its easy to not notice when your splints comes off, its just one line of red text, alongside shitton on red text.
If its arm, or hand, you will drop shit and stop wielding anything.
Imagine being a benomain so much, that you forgot that marine who dies out of brute damage must have some lingering efect that won't go away for good unless he goes to the surgery.
Now imagine that nobody cares about nade FF damage, its all about the stun. Exactly as with slugs. If somebody throws a nade, it was most likely made with beno on screen, beno either avoids stun entirely, or wakes up way faster than marines. Then it slashes marines lying down and drags one offscreen. Thats what kills marines, nade stun and benos. Nades don't kill benos either, its the follow up that does that.
2. I'm not fucking talking about neuro, look at my past comments in this thread, I think that most of the benos stuns are fine, with exception to RNG on scatter spitter and thats even for benefit of benos, because now RNG might fuck them up.
So fucking what that marines say "xenos mad" when xenomains talk about buckshot? Like "xenos mad", or "marines mad" ever had any impact on devs decision. You imagine that devs look at the issue of a beno talking about buckshot, they think they should balance it, but then they notice some marines writing "xenos mad" and then they refuse to do anything?
Don't look for fucking excuses for your benomain behaviour of beating around the bush. Other side complaining has never stopped devs from nerfing/buffing anything. Look at Corpse Dragging, look at combat huggers, look at perma nest. Both marines and benos cried A LOT when the other side proposed this changes. I was here when corpse dragging was a thing, its the issue that pushed me into those stupid discussions on a game I no longer enjoy playing, even other servers. Their cries ever stopped those changes? Can benos drag revivable uninfected corpses now? Can benos immediately infect you? Can you break out of the nest on your own? If answer to those questions is "no", then you have proof that other side mocking you never had any real impact.
Stop trying to blame marines for buckshot, they are not to blame here, because they have 0 power over the server, just as benos doesn't have either. Every time marines find something very effective, its being nerfed anyway, just not buckshot. Find responsible for it, I won't point fingers, I hope that brain benomainism didn't consume all of the gray matter inside.
I don't remember seeing a gitlab, or forum thread about specifically buckshot for a long time. Its always "shotguns", or no armor marines, never buckshot. Maybe its time to stop being a benomain and make a thread only about buckshot? Maybe its time to make gitlab only about buckshot? Without classic benomain beating around the LV bush.
