It sorta takes the skill out of quick scoping and using shotguns. Regardless if you have a beast quick scoping game of 12-6 or a terrible game of 12-30 you'll still have enough points to get things.
If you use it, I mean okay but don't say you use it because you don't care about your k/d. You use it because you'll get rewarded regardless if you do well or not.
Taking a risk as in doing things that will most likely get me killed. I know my playstyle in certain modes enough to know that I'm most likely going to die before going on large streaks, such as domination. I know that by rushing flags, I'm more likely to die than if I played conservatively and went for kills. If I know I have a larger chance of dying, why not use support? It's not like I'm a trash player who doesn't deserve a streak if I'm going for the objective rather than being a k/d whore. That said, I prefer specialist and use it far more often than support.
In other game modes, especially TDM, I understand what you're saying. As the objective is to go for kills, I'm far more likely to go on streaks and I use either specialist or assault (I prefer specialist so I can keep track of my streak better)
