Shut down shotgun sliders?

Hi community. This is a rant and a call for ideas/help. I hate the meta, with so many weapons in this game, with so vastly different functions and perks, it shouldn't evolve around hand cannons and people sliding around one tapping with shotguns. It's not fun being on the receiving end nor fun playing like that. Basically all other weapons are for PvE only, except for snipers on some PvP maps. Getting killed by a trace rifle or Symmetry or even Tommy's matchbook puts a smile on my face. It's rare.. but so refreshing. I have no idea how to counter these shotgun sliders. I hate sniping and shotguns in all fps games i've played over these past decades. Not my playstyle. What i get successful with 3 out of 10 times are rapid frame fusions and aiming low...real low. But it's stil not good stats wise. Believe me though.. i don't play for stats (K/D below 1.0) at all, but for fun and experimenting with loadouts and weapon's. But it's not fun with the meta....at all. "If you can't beat them... Join them"... Sure, but no thanks. So.. counter's? Ideas? Thoughts on meta? Git gud? One scenario i see is to have a game mode where no meta weapons are allowed. Or maybe a game mode with only kinetic weapons? Remove the radar permanent in a permanent game mode? Weekly change on weapons allowed? Fusion rifles only for a week. Assault rifles only and so on. I don't know .. as i said, a rant. Have a great weekend.

  • Dude tommy’s is amazing for pve Especially as a warlock Dps goes out the roof I dont wanna be that guy but shotguns are low skill weapons and should be easy for you to counter if you just think around it Maybe use their slide against them :)
