Okay people, let's get real. We survived Felwinter's Lie. The shottys back in year one were noticeably stronger than the shottys in year three, but then why are they more prevalent now than back then? Well simply this... the only way to counter a shotgun, is well, another shotgun. Primaries just don't do the job quick enough and TLW is inconsistent as hell. The fact that a player can close a gap on you before you can kill him with a primary is not your fault. The frustration probably leads you to run a shotgun, and boom you have the meta. I personally don't use a shotgun because I get no satisfaction from killing someone with it because after all, we should be playing this game for the fun of it. Recently I've been growing tired of getting rushed by shotguns all the time and not having a consistent counter besides flux gernades... anybody have certain things they do to counter shotguns affectively?
