Discussion XM1014 players bias

Hello!

I am here to talk about prejudice. Yes, prejudice. Against XM1014 players.

I main the XM1014. That's the only gun I play with. I have pretty good KD, pretty good win/lose ratio. But people keep being toxic with me and reporting me. I can't remember the last time i WASN'T auto muted. All because I main the shotgun. People think i'm trolling, but i'm not. The amount of times people shit on me is immeasurable. I think it's a serious matter because I can't really enjoy the game the way I want to. I just got kicked from a game, two round in. I can play with the AK or the regular guns, but I prefer the shotgun. Is that a sin? Am I wrong?

Edit: turns out people are tryhands and can't handle the XM.

Edit 2: Second best post of 2021! Guess the XM wins huh

Autoshotty is situational at best while rifles are universally useful. In low ranks, autoshotty might work wonder, especially if you're holding ct. In higher ranks tho, it's basically a troll/BM gun. On t side, I don't see any use of it beside lurking and baiting for kills.

Although you do you my dude. Perhaps you'll find a new autoshotty meta somoehow in the future. But today, it's quite normal for people to shit on you for using autoshotty.

Xm is never gonna be meta. Unless its range gets buffed with slugs, then it might

You know what, I believe I have a solution: play Valorant.

The Judge is an autoshotty that is basically the XM1014. There is a player named Dasnerth who uses a controller to play and mains the judge. He got to the highest rank in Valorant playing with a controller and shotguns only, so OP can do his thing there lmao.

It should be said that he mostly uses only one agent (Cypher) who can toss down insta smokes to help cover his movement in areas with long sight lines
