How many more topics do we need to create to NERF OR REMOVE THE SHOTGUNS?

I mean seriously, EVERY SINGLE fight ends with some noob shotgunning the whole squad, because they are too OP, no aiming required, no precision required, just point to a rough direction and that's it...

@CrashA321 Yea but you have to be point blank range for them to be any good at all theres a big risk taking a shotgun. For example your in the middle of an open field in kk and its a long range fight the eva 8 aint gonna do much its your fault for being in the postion to get shoutguned

@PKDNucl3AR That is one example, where I shred all the shotgunners, but let's admit it: Apex is not really about these long range engagements. Some clear clues give it away: The still unfixed audio issue, where an enemy can magically sneak up on you without noticing him, or the fact that the projectile speeds of sniper rifles are slower than any other weapon's, or even a damn BOW, and the fact that you can find a fully kitted shotgun more likely than any other weapon, plus they nerf the prowler in a blink of an eye, where the eva-8 remains OP, while a dev ADMITTED that it's OP af....

  Easy solution - movement and positioning = don't let people with shotguns come close to you.
  Audio - indeed needs a fix more than anything as I have had very regular encounters when someone just sneaks up to me from behind while I am shooting another team mid-range, which is insanely frustrating.
  As for the shotguns...nerf for Eva shooting speed (minor) would be nice, rest can remain as is and I would actually bring back hammer point not to render Mozambique completely trash map filling weapon.
  Bow indeed is the best sniper in the game :D or at least for me I can hit much better even with 1x in comparison to bullet drop/speed affected snipers where anything below 6x is a guessing game despite actual distance markers on the scope (minus charge rifle of course which is great).
