Such a stupid way to rebut that statement. If he was in the higher end of SBMM that would mean he's even more skilled than he's shown and would still be able to get kills. The point is that if played correctly shotguns are still viable and the ammo economy is fine.

[quote]That's because you're in the lower end of skilled matchmaking.[/quote] Agreed in a way. You're not playing against competent opponents.

I'm not the best player by no means, but I am gold in my most commonly played playlist, which is control, and I'm in the top 20% in most categories. The vast majority of players who are reporting that they cannot use shotguns, or feel forced to use some sort of meta, aren't all in the top group of players. For my skill level, I am most certainly not put into easy lobbies, and there are plenty of people in my lobby who are using the wormwood and NLB. I'm personally having no issues using the guns that I want to use.
