Again, snipers are in no way more powerful than shotguns. Maybe they're stronger than fusions and arguably side arms, but they are on equal ground with shotguns at best. Like I said before, real competitive teams use 2 shotgunners for a good reason, and that is that they can kill more consistently than snipers can. Watch tournaments with iAM or Primal, and you'll know what I'm talking about. And if you get body primaried, then that's probably your fault for pushing too aggressively. This isn't battlefield, the Devs themselves even said it's ok for snipers to have a close quarters role if players have the skill to use them. While I agree that most Trials teams use more snipers, it doesn't mean that shotguns are weaker.
