Shotgun feels a bit random, I would not pick it up anymore until fades if the framerate/mouse smoothness was good enough.
Lerk gas seems stupid though, you need to be 15 sec in the spores to die and it can be repelled with 2 medpacks more useful as a vision blocker and sound duller lol. I have no clue why they made not reduce armor :(

actually its pretty stupid nerfing the gas AND leaving the short range. So not only the gas is nerfed but range of it is so short the marines have to be in my face for it to hit them. Maybe its just my common sense but if you nerf the damage at least restore the range of the gas, crazy thinking.
Also, nobody noticed the lerk flight can't gain any height? it feels like i'm flying with rocks on my back, how this flight ever made it into the release is seriously amazing, I really hope its bug. lerk flight isn't smooth at all, it gone from this feels pretty good to what the hell did you do, needs to be reverted back or reworked.
as for the shotgun comment, once performance improves, you will have more luck aiming.

Try to use space without pressing wasd (while flying/gliding)... I agree it sucks that way, but cant gain height is technically false.
They should also change that you can glide silently forever.
edit: but uwe will rework it anyways so - it can only get better.

Have you tried my updated Lerk mod (the link is in my sig)?
I agree that the Lerk does feels a bit clumsy overall (with the projectile spike, buggy flight model, and short ranged spore). Spore would not have been overpowered with 14 dps, if it had a much higher energy cost. Medpacks could quite easily negate Spore damage.

About the whole gliding thing, they'll probably do like ns1 where the lerk would groan and make noises as he glides

The gas isn't nerfed, it's buffed, it kills marines just as quickly regardless of their armor level, and as far as I recall, the time is equivalent to level 1 armor in the old version.
