Totally agree. I think shotguns are already the META in this game, there is no need for a better one. I'm not good at the shotgun game in this and it frustrates me that this often means I can't compete. In most games shotguns are a very high damage close range option and in most games that's fine; they offer a good balance between risk and reward. The problem in this game is that it is far too easy to close the gap on a player without getting shot, if you have any building ability. Once you've closed that gap the shotgun player will win every time. I always play as a mid range specialist in online shooters, so this is proving a challenge, I've tried to get better, but people seem to be so good at the jumpy shotgun game now that I get one shotted before I even have a chance to practice. I like this game a lot, but this META is putting me of it rapidly. Honestly, I can't see them changing this as so many of the big twitch players use shotguns to devastating effect. My solution would be to reduce the range on these guns, so you have to be right up in someone's face to make them an effective option; I've been killed by a pump from a fairly considerable range. Instead they have put in a legendary shotgun with greater range......
