You probably played some server with dev mode active.

Stupid dev mode kids like to put on infinite ammo, and that makes the redeemer a complete spawnkilling spam weapon... I really should have known that would happen. I should have set the redeemer rate of fire to 0.05 rounds per second >< Too late though, it's already released. Just avoid non-dedi servers, kids are most likely cheating to win with Devmode.

As for the Shock Combo, it requires a certain skill to use. If you have bad aim, you won't hit combos. If you don't know where your enemy is going to move, your combos won't hit. If you have a good concept of player prediction, as well as prediction of the Shock Ball itself, it will pay off, and you'll stack up the kills.

It's good to practice them. Trick with them, fire a ball, do a 360, hit the ball with the beam. Fire one at a teleport exit, go through the teleport, hit the combo. Stuff like that will get you better at them, not to mention it's just plain fun to do.
