Here is my idea. I am not 100% sure that this could work: 1- Give snipers a buff to reduce flinch, ads time and handling(on high impacts) 2- give snipers 3 shots when spawning. 3- give snipers more ammo on pickup. Let me explain. So the reason that shotguns are so good is because they guarantee a kill unless you are really bad. But with snipers, if you miss you die and if you body it doesn’t kill him. So giving them a buff would make them more viable and adding more ammo when spawning would make them a better option on a tactical level. If you get more ammo when spawning, you can get more kills than with a shotgun on a competitive level. So high level snipers would get more kills than shotguners because of the extra ammo. Edit-I am going to move this post to balance.
