Hmm if you see a lot of people running and sliding with shotguns you know, maybe its time you start assuming people are going to run, slide, shotgun? Personally I instinctively aim a bit down when shotgunning people for this very reason. Or I jump, a lot of people don't expect jumping shotguns anymore. " It's the most irritating thing when nobody has a -blam!-ing spine to play the game different than everybody else." Or maybe several people found this set up is fun to use on their own? I got my grasp ages ago and started to use it out of laziness and found I liked it a lot and haven't really looked back. There isn't really a wrong special to pick and people complain about all of them. " They just puss their way to wins because of what they use." Of course they win because of what they use. The game doesn't have a no-weapons fist only game mode. If it did you'd still probably be complaining that warlocks have an OP melee or something.

It's a little hard to assume its going to be right as they come around a corner on a tight map. You don't think they should win due to skill? I mean, if you use the same weapon that just sprays a bunch of bullets that allows you to get kills easier, does that sound like a skill based weapon? Nah. You should win based on tactics, not before the matches even start based on what weapons are equipped.

"It's a little hard to assume its going to be right as they come around a corner on a tight map." Why wouldn't you assume the red dot around a corner is someone with a shotgun? It's the best time to use a shotgun. "You don't think they should win due to skill?" So skill only exists when you want it to? "I mean, if you use the same weapon that just sprays a bunch of bullets" All of them? "that allows you to get kills easier, does that sound like a skill based weapon?" Have you ever used an auto or semi-auto in this game? Things like scout rifles or snipers have far more head tracking than auto weapons do and practically follow your enemies heads. But here you are complaining about the weapons that tend to force players to learn how to control recoil and play against it in order to actually use their weapon. "Nah. You should win based on tactics" You mean like waiting behind corners for people too dumb to throw grenades? Sounds like they're already winning. "not before the matches even start based on what weapons are equipped." If you're getting mercy ruled then you're doing something wrong that has nothing to do with equipment.
