You have 10,000 kills on your Hunter with shotguns. If you're not a primary shotgun user, you're pretty damn close to it. I get pissed at shotgun users all the time, but not for the reason you believe. I'm generally a more active PvP player and actually use my sniper as a secondary weapon. I use my primary weapon as an actual primary, so feel more comfortable moving around the map. My dislike for shotguns has probably risen since 2.0. That is mostly because the best counter to shotguns (that wasn't another shotgun) has been nerfed; The Last Word. No primary has TTK that can stop a warrior from running through your bullets and shotgunning you from a stupid range. If you 'balance' a weapon type, which in effect makes it harder to use/weaker, that is a nerf. Shotguns are being 'balanced' in 2.1. Is this not a nerf?
