I say get rid of shotguns altogether, but wishful thinking on my part

I personally think the precision nerf is the complete wrong direction to go. The dumbest thing about shotguns are how they are an easy mode point and kill weapon. You could argue the skill is getting in range to actually get the free 1 shot kill, but between blink and every map being tiny rooms/hallways, there really is no skill involved. This nerf basically just removes the only opportunity to make shotguns require at least some gun play (aiming for the head). What I think would be better is just reducing max range on shotguns to 27. The base range on party crasher and matador are both 25 for reference. Currently the max hard cap is 32 range with upgrades. In my opinion this solves 2 huge problems with shotguns. The first problem is that they have too much range. The second is that they have 0 viable options in the middle row of perks other than increasing their range. If range was hardcapped, then you could actually consider other perks on the matador and party crasher like single point sling or whatever. If the hard cap on range was reduced this way, they could leave precision damage alone or even buff it for that matter. They could leave range finder and shot package alone. They could leave the damage as is in PvE since it would be higher risk having to get a tiny bit closer. Just my 2 cents.
