I'm a bit angry at this actually. I prefer shotguns to snipers but I can snipe. However, they are nerfing shotguns to the hilt yet snipers are not being nerfed in any way at all.
Here's why I say this.
Shotguns are a close proximity only weapon. You take the risk and you reap the rewards.
Snipers? Well, depending on the talent of the wielder, you can be sniped from across the map or from 5 feet away and it's still a one shot kill.
My nerf idea would be to make quick scoping a lot harder to do or the scoping mechanism a bit longer to zoom in.
That or allow shotguns to keep their potency.

They nerfed 2 perks on shotguns and final round on snipers. Seems fair to me
-
agree. the truth has been spoken.
-
Takes a hell of a lot more skill to snipe someone from close range than too shotgun someone from too long of a range though.
-
Probably slightly more but you've got to know your shotgun and your distance otherwise you're dead.
-
Yeah but that's no where near as hard as quick-drag scoping someone in the head up close. They're not even in the same conversation
-
The problem is, with shot package, a lot of these shotguns are not 'close proximity only weapons'. They are short to mid-long range weapons.... and that's a problem.

Kind of. My old felwinters had hammer forged and shot package and I would only get the distance of a quick snipe.
