Shotguns are high risk/high reward weapons. Sniper rifles are low risk/high reward weapons. Some shotgunners crouch-camp corners and choke points from high risk positions. Most snipers hard-scope-camp corners and choke points from very low risk positions. Shotgunners are called no-skill scrubs for camping corners and choke points. Snipers are not…yet. Now, if you’re a sniper, you may already say that the above comparisons are flawed. To which I would respond: Okay, how are they inaccurate? This is not a nerf sniper rifles post. Instead, I'm simply asking for logical justification why it seems widely acceptable to vilify shotgunners while snipers are (or have been; I think the perception of snipers in Destiny is changing [u]right now[/u]) put up on a pedestal. Full disclosure, I love using shotguns in PvP and PvE. Perhaps it’s in-part because I’m a shotgun shooter in real life. In the game, I enjoy close-quarter combat, shotgun/melee combos. I have no interest in sitting at the back of the map, largely out of harm’s way, sniping people. Nor do I think poorly of those who do. To the contrary, I love having great snipers on my team! So, let me know what you think. Which is the scrubbier tactic: shotgun camping or sniper rifle camping? Or, is camping of any kind a scrubby tactic? Or, is camping simply an effective tactic that people hate [u]because it’s effective[/u]? Does the effectiveness of camping need to be addressed? If so, how? While I recognize this may be a volatile issue, let’s try to keep the discussion respectable. I’m not trying to insult snipers as much as I am challenging the widely-held view that somehow shotgunners are lesser than. Edited for typos.
