Shotgunning isn't "Easy": Anyone claiming this is a bit lost
Yes. Aiming the gun is easy
Yes. The range can be annoying
Yes. Almost anyone can use it effectively from day 1
But being a GOOD shotgunner isn't easy. Top tier shot gun players have immense skills in movement, pressuring opponents, and split second decision making.
I'm not defending shotgunners because I am one. Most people who know me, know that I snipe 99% of games. But it's kind of bullshit to discredit the skill set of another player.
I personally find using shotguns effectively very hard due to my passive nature, so when people make the statement that they take "no skill"... well I must just suck really bad. Right?
Watch the video, actually listen to my argument, then debate it all you want.

I personally find it easier to be effective (in the beginning)with a sniper than a shotty, I mean not all the fancy shots but it feels easier to keep your distance and "surprise" someone with a sniper. Closing the distance to effective range (shotgun, hand cannon, sidearm) is harder IMO... I guess they even out in the end. Agree with Mdash.
