Is it me or are shotguns really bad in this game? a lvl 2 com with the upgrade is more of a downgrade until the next upgrades. If someone could explain how they should be used, that would be great.

For the same cost you instead get units.

Sometimes some upgrades make sense in situations that call for it, like getting machine gun + regen on recon or maybe, maybe, lazarus (rez) on engi.

Otherwise just get units intead.

Coms are good at building while being able to fend off small number of raiders, and that's about it. For the same cost, units will outperform any upgraded commander and they don't risk the loss of your eco module.

Shotgun should get a double-shotgun upgrade.

Actually, I was also thinking shotguns should get some changes. Something like giving shotguns a "magazine" reload style similar to how Picket missle turrets arm and reload. Maybe also have it shoot with Scallop's fire-rate while some rounds are loaded, with a relatively long reload time to keep the weapon in balance.

Shotgun is really strong in a rush scenario; in this game there was essentially nothing I could do to prevent Hedkeaf's com from killing my base with a shotgun com rush. If you're not doing that particular strategy then yeah LPB is probably better.
