Tactically speaking, I see the value on something like the NM Violator or the Low Grade Humility, where the RoF allows you to actually use the high stability to have a glorified Scout Rifle with a OHK option. It just confused me on the Spear (I have outlaw on mine because of the mag size. It's debatable as well I guess). I also like to check out older guns after heavy meta shifts. I personally went back to Thorn for a lot of maps, on which I can't successfully use my Jade Rabbit (I know you're an Xbox user, so sorry for mentioning that one^^). Also dusted off my Matador and rerolled it with Rangefinder and Battle Runner (always used the latter, but with the movement nerfs to shotguns, I would describe it as the best shotgun perk around nowadays) When I say I play the objective, you shouldn't take it too literally. I also mean pushing enemies back to C/A, keeping certain paths clear, or simply killing everything so that my team has breathing room. I usually don't pick up heavy either. I Novabomb/Shadowshot the enemy's heavy and steal that one (while usually dying on the way out) or proceed to lmao when the 2 remaining people who survived the initial blast (and I died to team shooting), die to my Novabomb Vortex when they try to pick up the heavy in the aftermath. I think I have 16.5 kills per game average, so there's that. And 1503 Elo in Rift, the last time I checked. It's reassuring that the issue is universal though. Something broke with the newest patch.
