I will say this, snipers take skill, more so than shotguns. However with the growing popularity of snipers I feel that aim assist across all snipers needs to be adjusted to force ppl to really choose between their special weapons as I feel that the aim assist on some snipers right now is too high. You should be able to shoot to the right or left of someone's head and get a headshot. I feel that making an adjustment to sniper aim assist will force players to really be skilled with the weapon and not just take advantage of game mechanics such as aim assist. At least then I would be able to look at the sniper who just scoped me from across the map and legitimately say "what a great shot". And on another note I think shotguns do take some skill to perfect the sliding and blinking (if you blink, I personally don't) techniques. Some ppl make it look easy but it isn't as easy as everyone thinks to pull off, and I believe with the coming nerf k shotgun range again ppl who use shotguns or see shotguns used against them will really see a difference in skill as the shotgun range will be where it needed to be in the first place which will force talented players to create new ways of closing in long distances between targets to get the full effect of the shotgun which is how it always should have been.
