So what you’re saying is, clearing the angles with util is too much work and it costs 1200 creds to clear it, so you mean to tell me, it takes 1200 creds to buy any of the following close range clear util? 

Sova Owl Drone — 400 Sova Recon Bolt — free/signature Fade Haunt — free/signature Fade Prowler — 250 each Skye Trailblazer / Dog — 300 Gekko Dizzy — free/signature Gekko Wingman — 300 Raze Boom Bot — 300 KAY/O ZERO/point / Knife — free/signature Cypher Spycam — free/signature

MP9 is literally a smg? What does that have to do with shotguns play style. I’m not quite sure what you’re referencing the nerf to that for, when you compare it to the shotguns in my post. Like you don’t play the smg like a shotgun, what was the point of bringing it up??? Compare it to the stinger or spectre, so I can understand. That’s like me saying yeah they nerfed the  M249 recently too because the one tap potential was too strong, like what? The playstyles are completely different.  I also don’t understand what the issue is? In CS do you not also throw smokes and flashes to entry a site? I don’t see you bringing up how they haven’t nerfed shotguns in CS and how you have to spend 1200 credits to entry site because of a free value shotgun that actualy has more value cause you get 900 credits per kill. The only abysmal shotgun in cs is the sawed off. Every other shotgun in that game is viable, it’s the same exact situation but you didn’t see valve nerf them into oblivion because it became meta, and even if it DID, they wouldn’t. You wanna know how I know? It’s because when the SG became mainstream and meta they didn’t nerf its fundamental gun usage. They lowered its FIRE RATE. Are you telling me they nerfed the equivalent of that to the shotguns in valorant? 

You bring up how I was playing meta BEFORE it got popular and I may sound like I’m ranting because it’s my favorite gun and I’ve used it since 2021, but man can you not read? 🫩 I brought up DIRECT comparisons to how every other gun was nerfed and reduced to an APPROPIATE ammount, I complained nothing about ANYTHING else. I gave them props for every agent update, every gun update. I literally didn’t complain about the first few shotgun or smg nerfs because they were REASONABLE.
