You are fn nuts.
We are in the sniper meta.
Shotguns have shit range, yet snipers can one hit kill in all ranges, only gun in the game that can.
Nerf snipers a few times first. The whole game is already built around them. They nerfed high rate of fire AU's, which takes another counter away. You don't even need to aim a longbow to get kills.
Plenty of crap to fix before nerfing shotguns for a 4th/5th time.
I agree but only on the grounds that body shots and fire rate are the only thing changed.
Snipers reward a good shot and yes should really get a Nerf to body shots so that accuracy is its own reward. Potentially an all around fire rate Nerf as well.
Shotguns on the other hand reward: having rangefinder, blinking and ads. This archetype is a last resort melee range only weapon not a sniper in its own right.
So yes, I agree with you but the archetype still doesn't match the weapon and results in two tone crucible.
Aka: shotgun/ sniper
HROF auto/ HID scout (mida-ish)
And pretty much rockets only
