Even if put elemental aversion and other perks you will die to max 5 shots and only if musket emp ring isnt stacked up.
And cost of doing that you are more vunerable to all other sources of dmg - like GS.
So no.
ME is a problem, and a lot of open OPR map is also the problem.
But then you dont see muskets in arena.
A redditor summed it best, “Moment you remove damage/kills from scoring and objective playstyle, people will stop playing muskets/bows in OPR”
its the easiest way to get a score.
Right now if you’re getting a bad zerg and your’e a tank or a bruiser, you are not gonna get enough points for 2k pvp exp. With a bow, just LMB spam.
So balancing musket over reddit/forum crybabies who refuse to understand how to play around them is just stupid. But AGS have dont it in the past, so no doubt musket will receive another nerf next patch. Not that it matters, but a lot of gameplay is broken and putting so much effort only for musket would be just pathetic.

i mean in all fairness, you;'d die to GS regardless of what you put on armor XD
and yet again… it comes to Mortal Empowerment…
really? you have the audacity to say that when melee light assassin is the easiest build to play right now?
there you go, just uploaded this for you. Look how easy it is for a GS to track when you dont even need to think or outplay your opponents.
pardon the bad quality, i’ll upload one later featuring ‘everytime i was chased by an army post brim patch’
I thought Accuracy only affects hipfire shots. Why would you not just press RMB to ADS? Am I missing something?
no, but he is…

Yea GS is broken. Also 0 muskets on that clip. With game where enemy team does have like 4-5+ of them you would die before you can get to this enemy bruisers and you know it.
a musket is shooting me from their spawn, can you not see me getting powder burned?
The moral is, you need to LOS when there are objects and when its open turn corners.
Even if musket wasn’t there, i was chased by an army of 10 people who stopped when they realized objective is more important and the one who came after me with a beacon died anyway.
If you are chased by 10 ppl that is good for your team. And if you have proper build you can run around for some time waisting their time. But you cant run away from 10 muskets. They wont even move. You cant hide from 10 muskets lol.
If at this point you can’t admit weapon is broken then you will be suprise moment they address issue way they should. And couse its amazon im not expecting rework with some smart ideas on how weapon should be used. Im betting my money on nerf to the ground that best you can do with it is to hunt turkeys.
you can’t run away from 10 sword and shield hatchet players either, whats your point?
same argument applies for a musket, if musket is glass cannon they are not gonna capture point. good for your team.
yes you can, ever heard of LOS?
10 muskets in an OPR is a death sentence. They will get rolled by anyone, even players with bad game knowledge learn eventually how to use line of sight to reach a point, and muskets cant do much then.
the entire community agrees the perk ME is broken, musket is fine. Just because you dont like playing vs one, doesn’t mean a weapon is broken.
This^ is why your advice wont be taken seriously, trolls like you prowl this forum with prejudice just want to nerf things you dont know how to deal with. Any dev understands, if they started catering to incessant whining from 3-4 players and create a balance patch for 1500, it’ll tank the game pop.
You can if your build have some movment skills and haste perks.
I dont care if they capture point. I dont care if they lose. I care to have fun from game. And musket is a build that does take ayway fun from pvp.
Yes famous LOs. Go try find a cover when 5 muskets does shot you. Dude your los works only in 1 vs 1. Stop making stupid arguments.
Musket is broken. Period. There is no need to point out all reasons couse there is so many of them.
Devs cant ignore players. Check forum, check reddit you will see what ppl do think about musket. So devs have to fix it, remove from a game or accept fact that ppl that want pvp from NW will stop playing couse you cant have pvp when some noobs shot you across map when you have nice fight.
i dont really enjoy back and forth, but you are especially hostile here. So i will oblige.
get movement skills, a GS, a zephyr cake, endurance pots for OPRs. Haste for wars. and if enemy pops them and is running, hey they aren’t shooting your team. problem solved.
yea, you just wanna have fun not being shot at while shooting others. Nice game balance. Musket just doesn’t allow bad players to play the game, same can be said about any sns/gs assassin who lurks waiting for a straggler and one taps them.
There are loads of cover in OPR, only place open wide is Luna to Sol and Sol to baron. But even that can be covered by going the other exit. Get a healer, Use orb of protection, dance a bit and no musket is killing you.
yes, and i haven’t heard one reason why its broken, all i hear is high damage which is coming from ME or baseless videos with no biased takes where people run vorpal attunement muskets and hit every headshot vs a 4 resil bruiser.
They dont have to, they just need to ignore players who whine without reason and wanna burn the world instead of providing a solution or finding the real problem (MORTAL EMPOWERMENT)
yea you think those players are noobs, i think thats where your tilt is coming from. Most dex players are adept at other weapons too. GO challenge them in a duel, and your perception will change.
Dude i play mage since day 1. So yea i kinda fight in close combat. Most often like 10m away max from enemy bruisers. And i enojy fighting other mages, bruisers and bows. And it does annoy me when some csgo noob does shot me from other side of map when im having fun in 1vs1 or 1vsx.
So you say we all sit behind cover? I was thinking we play OPR to enojy some pvp. Sitting behind cover, couse you die moment you leave it seems kinda stupid pvp mode.
WEll read this or other topics. Not gona repeat it over and over.
They have to if they want player base to stop droping 
I know tons of players that do like pvp and maybe 20% of them try opr. While months ago they are on OPR all day long. you know why they dont play opr and if they do - only premade group with healer? Wana know why? Couse of f… muskets and bows mode is shit.
Then go adapt.
I dont understand, everyone third parties. If you wanna fight 1v1’s duel outside ww or go play arena.
You can’t possibly complain about 3rd partying in an OPR or a war. a 3rd party is most essential way of winning a game, you eliminate one person and snowball. You’re essentially getting tilted over a universal mechanic which wins/loses territories.
why would you sit behind cover, you hop from one cover to another when you’re shot at or when enemy is looking at you which you can see because game is 3rd person. When you’re inside point, musket isnt gonna do anything because you can LOS them while capturing point or damaging players on the point.
Thats your opinion, playerbase is dropping because of no pvp content while you think its because of muskets. All top companies on most servers are just war logging and no one is complaining about muskets whatsoever. Every PVP’ers only complain is lack of modes and OPR being the only mode you can spam.
I dont even know what that means, but what i meant was most dex players already play every build except heals. Musket is just easy to play solo queue with, and since you can’t coordinate OPR’s …
Dude want continue since no point. IF you think its ok to have AK47 in meddival game good for you. Not for game or developers couse players wont play and pay, but good for AK47 enjoyers as long as it last. In long term not so much couse if there are no dudes with sword to shot at, then you cant enojy it to.
I made my point dude, told you how to play around it. I can’t spoon feed you if you dont wanna eat. All i see are baseless arguments about realism of the game and i wanna shoot people as a mage but i dont wanna get shot at, instead of fixing the real problem which is ME and not musket.
Just because something annoys you it does not mean that it need to be nerfed or removed
If this is how majority of your players feel then yes, it does have to be fixed/removed.
