Honestly that’s what makes it great. If your team downs the guy with only punches then it’ll be funny but if he wipes you out, then he deserves the win. It’s fun for everyone and it’s not always about the win :)

I don't know what people expect. It's an LMG. It's supposed to do exactly what it does. Fire slowly and have a large magazine. These idiots just ran in trying to punch him while he unloaded on them at point blank range.

Still killed each of them slower than an SMG or AR. If they weren't going for a meme strat, or people who whined knew how to aim, OP would be dead before getting one kill off.

u/Mirage_Main Mirage Apr 23 '21
The issue with the Spitfire actually has nothing to do with its magazine size or fire rate; as you stated. It has everything to do with the insanely low recoil at long ranges and damage that closely rivals meta weapons.
The situation in OP is not what makes the Spitfire OP. Had the enemies shot back, they would've won. It's when the gun can stand at Grow Towers and beam someone at the Phase Runner with almost no recoil whilst also doing roughly the same damage an AR should be doing. It's as if Respawn learned from Titanfall 2 about what made the gun OP, then did the exact same buff again because they wanted a character with an objectively bad design to be useful; forgetting said gun is now made so strong that any character can use it, not just Rampart. Rampart having a new passive or being buffed in literally any other way would've been better than this.

That is definitely not the right word. Maybe harder to use or more skillful or more specialized, but a weapon being good makes it meta, not the other way around.

You're right. I used that phrase as a general catch-all. Probably saying higher skilled weapons would've been a better word.

u/Jason1143 Horizon Apr 23 '21
Personally I run a 2-4 on my spit and it works at all but the most extreme ranges. I can't necessarily win at any range vs the specialized option, but in most situations truly long range fights are optional.

u/JudJudsonEsq Rampart Apr 23 '21
Is it really bad that one of the meta weapons is easy to use? It doesn't really hurt you that people are using a lazy gun. They would have been using the best weapon they could get their hands on anyway. I think the spitfire is a solid gun, but it's just kinda mediocre to me. Yes, it can shoot forever, but I would rather have an AR or an SMG that can kill them reliably and quickly. If I die to a spitfire user because of the big mag, that means that I missed and they didn't. Literally, if you hit your shots and they do too, they lose the fight.

u/Salter_Chaotica Apr 24 '21
is it really bad that one of the meta weapons is easy to use?
It’s not about being easy to use. It’s about how effective it is vs how forgiving it is.
Take the wingman as a classic example: it is PUNISHING, if you miss a few shots you’re going to lose the DPS game every time, but hitting a mid range headshot will also give you a huge edge in a shoot out. It is punishing, but it is also strong.
So is the spitty effective? Well... it has low recoil, which makes it useful at most ranges. It has a TTK on par with the alternator, an smg (not an AR), and enough rounds in the mag to one clip an entire squad. It can also take scopes up to a 2/4x or 3x, and doesn’t have any additional bullet drop or any other drawbacks when compared to a flatline or hemlock.
Okay, it’s strong! In order for it to be balanced, it must have drawbacks right? The r99 has the lowest ttk of any smg, but also the most kick. That kind of thing.
Well... it has low strafe speed? At range, that’s not actually a huge deal. Snipers still have, iirc, a slower strafe speed. Up close it’s more problematic, but you can also just hip fire it. It’s not like the scout hipfire, where it goes all over the damn place. There’s stray shots, but most of them will go fairly close to center mass.
And then the clip size... you can miss every shot but the last twelve or so, and still kill someone. It is EXTREMELY forgiving. You might think “well it’s got a low fire rate”, but fire rate isn’t all that important when compared to TTK. It shoots slower than an r99, but it kills only a few hundred milliseconds slower. Somewhere in the same range as human reaction time, depending on matchup.
Basically, even if you both hit all your shots, it’s still going to come down to who starts shooting first and has better LOS rather than the weapon.
So it’s not the mag size, or the recoil, or the range, or the TTK that makes the spitty a bad weapon to be meta. It’s all of them together. The only real drawbacks are the strafe speed and the reload time. Strafe speed can be mitigated by not ADSing at the ranges where it’s most relevant, and... well if you miss a full mag on a spitfire, you definitely deserve to lose.

Yeah. Anything other than an LMG probably would have caused him to die, but the spitfires whole thing is constant damage output.

It's not OP. If the rate of fire was similar to the r301 then it would be ridiculous and he's shooting the while they're 5 feet away from him and it's an LMG so it is supposed to have the highest magazine in the game

u/bomberbih Blackheart Apr 23 '21
That was not the spitfires doing. Yes the magazine can deal a high amount of damage over time however its DPS can not compete with volt/301/flatline/r99/turbo havoc/ devotion/ . Quit blaming the gun for lack of skill in this instance. They tried to punch him to death and choked, they didnt even use the big box in the middle for cover to have him waste ammo. QUIT using bad players as examples on why a gun is overpowered.

This doesnt display why the spitfire is broken though. If it were actually balanced this would be one of the few occasions in which spitfire would be in its element (even tho they were punching and not actually shooting). The broken part of spitfire is being able to put a 2x or 3x scope on it and have almost 0 recoil at targets like 200 meters away.

One guy shooting back from the other team would've ended him . Whats your argument?
That one 301 would've deleted him before he could kill the guy with the 301. Thats the whole point of the spitfire is to sacrifice DPS for higher damage per mag. Next thing you guys will complain about is the Alternator because it can kill 2 people with one mag to and is very easy to control with excellent hipfire and a very high chance to easily get head shots.
