Definitely.
Though, I don't see them all too often. And, when I do it's usually just one guy, maybe two. It's still a bit niche as far as my lobbies have went. Thank the Heavens for that.
I'm personally seeing a ton more shotgun play. Kind of frustrating on Hardpoint, but it's a shotgun. Those work pretty well in enclosed places, which is where most of the capture points happen to be located. And, at least it requires you to AIM YOUR GUN.
Anyways... I don't think it should be removed completely. Just have it do what I'm assuming most thought it could only do beforehand, by which it only Auto-Targets Bots. Auto-Targeting Pilots is just.. ugh. Maybe it should be demoted to a secondary, or an attachment. I dunno.
It would not matter if it took the entire match to target a Pilot. It doesn't matter that it's set as your primary, giving you what some would like to think is a handicap. Just look at an enemy and your job is done. That kind of mechanic does not belong in versus.
What were they thinking?
