Also can those who can't shoot at all speak to why they chose not to shoot? ( I'm assuming it was to focus on being a great assister)
We have a linear shooter this year and in prototyping, we didn't know how strong it would be, so we made it as powerful as possible. Turned out it was too powerful We have however 'nerfed' it. As stated before, we don't need to be that powerful.
