TSM Myth and Dakotaz Want Changes Made to Shotguns in Fortnite After Recent Nerf After shotguns were recently hit with a significant nerf in Fortnite Battle Royale, two of the top streamers and competitive players, TSM Myth and Dakotaz, want changes made. Epic Games implemented a shotgun nerf in an attempt to rebalance the game away from the manic shotgun battles that typically dominated close quarters engagements. Some were in favor of seeing a slight rebalance, but as is often the case with attempting to fine tune weapon balance, it often ends up tipping the scale too much in the other direction. TSM player Ali \u201cMyth\u201d Kabbani called for an increased fire rate of the tactical shotguns, in order to make it a \u201ccontender\u201d in the current meta. I demand a fire rate increase on the tactical shotgun (not really but plz) Would be such a contender with the other weapons in this meta if it had an increased fire rate. \u2014 Myth (@TSM_Myth) July 31, 2018 Fellow streamer, Dakotaz, went into more detail on his channel, explaining that shotguns have become too weak, saying \u201ceverything is backwards.\u201d \u201cDon\u2019t nerf shotguns completely, because now they\u2019re just garbage. Yes, they work sometimes, yes they still one shot people, and that will be Epic\u2019s argument. But when? Like once in a blue moon. If I land a headshot on somebody up close, with a shotgun, don\u2019t you think I deserve to do a lot of damage and kill that guy. So everything is just backwards in Fortnite. That\u2019s the best way to explain it, everything is backwards.\u201d Dakotaz goes on to express his disappointment that other personalities are \u201cafraid to speak their minds\u201d, and instead just say Epic Games are the best, without complaint. Given the frequency at which Epic update the game, and how observant they are on all social channels, it is likely that at some point some more shotgun rebalancing will be made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
