Increase TTK

The issue is that the only weapons in the game that can kill in 2 body shots or less (when you don't have shields, if you do have max shields than it's only 2 and 4 body shots respectively) are shotguns: PK and EVA-8. As it's quite easy to sneak up on people using cover (or to use certain abilities to reach people in CQC such as smoke) and that the endgame happens in small circle therefore forced CQC, shotguns are quite strong and you can just have a secondary for medium to long range anyway. I'd like to see which weapon killed me the most, I'd be ready to bet money it's the PK.

I strongly believe those 2 need a nerf while SMGs and ARs need a small buff.

Right now the meta is all about having a shotgun + wingman/sniper/LMG.

You're right, shotguns need a nerf, especially those that feel like they actually one shot players. Yet I still feel like players shouldn't be downed so easily. One moment you're looting the next you can end up being shot up by three players. Once one teammate is downed, the probability of winning 2v3 is significantly reduced. Another way to handle this is by releasing duo matches at the very least.

Disagree, the EVA-8 is fine. It's a shotgun, is meant to be strong in CQC. The peacekeeper could do with a slight range nerf, statistically the R-99 and the R-301 are two of the best guns in the game. The gun balance is good in Apex Legends, a better approach would be to buff the underpowered weapons like the Mozamweak, Longbow etc.
