very slow compared to proj rifle
First of many wrong points in your post, phew this is gonna be work for nothing again.
Proj is slower in almost every aspect other than bullet travel time. I don't know the exact numbers on this maybe a dev can help here.
Projectile Rifle is a very clunky weapon and requires a lot of practice to master(*caugh* firedelay *caugh*). Meanwhile ee3 has full movement while scoped, perfect accuracy while in the air(not pressing any movement button required, but that doesn't matter since the momentum you build up moves you anyway), the jumping shots always seem to hit and it has freaking
quickscope double snipe.
heroes only need armor 1 to survive a ee3 sniper shot
Completely depends on where you hit. But a armor 1 hero wont survive a chest hit from ee3 snipe afaik.
Gumba, you just need to buy a single grenade to get a free kill against a mando
So I need to use 10 points only to kill one mando, that doesn't sound like a fair trade. Also mando will survive almost any shot even from proj when on the ground. He still has the "ET getup" which is the best one against gunners in my opinion. Since the hitbox you have while in the getup animation is almost non existent.
matter what since the proj rifle will one shot any mando who does not have armor 3
Armor 2 mandos will survive every proj shot unless hs. And if you hit anything else(hand,foot) proj will do almost no damage at all.
As I said countless times every hero that buys dodge in the current build is a fool. Waste of points unless you are against 3 ruptor gods.
or the quick throw if they ever feel like it
Since you obviously never played with quick throw here's the reason nobody plays it:
1. It costs 10 points to get the useful one
2. You can't quick throw and snipe anymore. The delay is just way too much.
3. Why waste the points on something you can do manually without the delay?
I really feel like the bounty hunters got robbed on their way to the armory, they can't shotgun snipe like heroes since they have neither dash nor the grenade
I don't think you grasp the concept of shotgunning. Have you even played before the patch that gave hero dash?
You will never ever dash shotgun somebody because the delay is way too much. A sith that is above trash tier will just push/pull/jump before you can pull the trigger.
The normal use of shotgun is when you are around a corner and scope before the sith comes around and you rip through his defences, which by the way ee3 sniper can do just as good as the proj.
Just the simple fact that you can quickscope doublesnipe and shoot like 6 normal shots after before reloading(which is
also faster than the proj reload) and all that without much delay is what makes this weapon stupid in my opinion.
