"*snort* what you guys are saying just proves my point! You all just insult me!" Maybe it's because shotguns weren't working as intended, and snipers are? And that's why shotguns have reviewed 3 nerfs so far and snipers haven't directly gotten one? In a game where it is extremely easy to close the gap on enemies and avoid incoming fire, snipers do take skill and are working as intended. If they were slow and heavy to use, they wouldn't be a viable option.
