Shotguns take even less skill to use than snipers. And i didn't say snipers don't have skill. The problem is the perks and ammo. The unflinching perk allows snipers to play up close and personal, where they don't belong. And players can easily play with their special weapons as their primary. I have to deal with snipers as much as auto rifles and pulses at close to mid range. A sniper pops out about 10 step ahead, i start to blast him in the head with my pulse, but with the unflinching perk he can just stand there line up his shot and instakill me. Obviously an unfair advantage. If a sniper gets me at long range then good for him. It takes some skill and i shouldn't have been in a sniper zone. And that's OK. I really don't need the practice. I'm smart enough to get a top 5% K/D ratio. Not the best in the world, but probably better than yours.
