Why do you hate it?  I think it's been nerfed at least once (extended magazines glitch) but I never used it back then.

I hardly see anyone using it these days... not that it would bother me if they did either

All the QSers I blast with it don't like it either so your not alone.

I think it has too much positives as it can be spammed and it is much easier compared to all other shotguns sans USAS. But I honestly think that it's almost balanced and the other shotguns need buffed, pre-damage that is.

What I would say is take out damage perk from shotguns so they can be balanced properly.

It's annoying because people seem to mindlessly spam it while walking around corners and one of their 10-12 shots happens to land. Meanwhile you're ADS and getting hitmarkers galore cause they're moving so fast and irradically that you're not connecting in the right spots.

Also, typically 'TryHards' are the ones using it. AKAbetween rounds they're doing nothing but checking leaderboards, KD, WL, and yapping.

I dont see it that much anymore in HC. Its either the Spas or the Model, with the occassional USAS. I have no fear of shotgun users when using my smg class, I myself havent used any shotgun in months.

Yup, I hate how many hitmarkers it gets before killing people. Increase pellet amount to 8 and lower fire rate to around 200, would make it much better balanced and a lot of fun to use again. They could also just give us back the beast it once was with extended mags back, either way I want a constancy Buff in ohks.

The striker is a very powerful rapid fire weapon which is extremely useful in small maps for close quarters purposes. It's fun to use but it's not very fun to be on the receiving end of a striker unfortunately.

The Striker is my least favorite weapon, and getting killed by it makes me go into a blind rage, where I hunt down the idiot using it, and try my hardest to dominate him.

It's the weakest of the shotguns, yet somehow manages to be very successful in killing people, which surprises me.

One would assume that something like the KSG-12 or AA-12 would be the preferred shotgun, because of their inherent fire-rate and damage dealt. But no... everyone uses Striker, and manages to dominate with it. I've used the KSG-12, which has the highest damage of the shotguns. There are times where I have to fire off 2 or 3 direct rounds into an enemy to put him down... and then comes along these rushing wimp with the striker, fires off one round... boom, I'm dead, each and every time.

Easily the most annoying weapon in the game, and to be honest, it's the indictator of who the douchebag of the game is (every lobby has a douchebag...)
