Relying on spitters. Sentinels, prae, and queenie for safe cuckshot user stuns is just bad. Why bother playing a melee focused caste if you're just going to get shot to shit by every cuckshot user ever unless you're ancient?

its not about relying on them its about having a counter to buckshot so not everyone runs buckshot because they will get countered.

Why bother playing against a melee focused caste if once they hit elder, they can one-pounce-slash you to death? :P

Buckshot is similar to lurkers. One of the two sides will lose and they will lose quickly.

While accuracy change was nice I think the crux of the buckshot issue is its damage. Getting hit by additional pellets takes a good chunk of your health, and that�s without the main buckshot pellet hitting you. Weapons deal a shit ton of damage that is pretty ridiculous, especially early game.

Both sides do insane damage.

Right now, Lurkers and Buckshot are like the wild west. You both stare each other down, eyeing the opponent, until one of you makes a sudden move. If you can pull your gun out fast enough and shoot, you win. If you don't, you lose and die.

To translate this to layman terms, if you get pounced, your game is over. If you get buckshotted, your game is over.

I would remove buckshot and consider it a marine buff as many times as ive been hit in the back by it when theres not even an alien around

Yeah, but buckshot is powerful throughout, except maybe late game when xenos are all elder+ and have mutator stack. Lurkers need to reach elite with damage mutators to be the meme it is now, while mature and young are not OP in terms of damage and survivability.

They are also testing the removal of weapon wield delay which means alot of lurkers are going to get PBd alot now so we gotta see how that affects stuff

How wield delay even affects PB? You can do it with weapon in one hand with the same dmg results.

It doesnt affect pb what it affects is people getting up after getting pounced and instantly shooting you in the face
