I know most people will probably say I have no right to comment with a .9 kdr but with that being said I figured I'd share my opinion on the matter anyways. Snipers require some form of skill in aiming for the head but when I used them they were ridiculously easy to avoid deaths with and to get headshots although taking some degree of skill it does not seem to require a large amount of skill to do so. Shotguns on the other hand require that someone is close and there is a lot more of a risk/reward endeavor in this case. YOu have to be very close to your target (especially after the two consecutive nerfs and very fast approaching 3rd nerf) and you have to have a good sense of where your target will be and who else could attack you.
