Honest question to those "Shotgun Meta" believers

I posted video in Class thread and it got me thinking. I rarely ever notice shotguns in my games. I assumed its my build as I am able to deliver punishing power if not 1hk from a good range. This is obviously a better game but I have many many more I can show. Even when I lose its to range. Could it be my matchmaking? Is it possible its the game type? Maybe something else? I don't feel this same Meta as people keep talking about. Can people post games showing me this out of control shotgun crazy please? Edit* I am getting a lot of feedback, most seem to feel that the numbers themselves indicate the weapon is somehow better than others. If we go by numbers then stat wise its the easiest to counter also. I also got feedback that the players are garbage. I don't claim to be great and in my SBMM they are likely in my skill level. Wouldn't that be where all the scrubs are that need crutches? Someone did point out maybe their stats boosted so they elevated. Makes sense but I would think competition would stiffen also and force a garbage strat/player out. *Edit* Per advice from another player I played Classic FFA to get a feel for some more sweaty type of gameplay. While I did encounter shotguns in every match they were not my weak spot. Surprisingly auto rifles were. I did see the clear difference in secondary use and with no team it took some adjusting to. I will keep playing as I had a blast and it definitely exposed my bad habits. Please keep the suggestions coming and any video of what you see out there is awesome. Not a small clip please. I want to get a feel for how it can be abused or hard to counter.
