REMOVE MASTIFF ! OMG !

no theproblem is that you guys dont understand the idea of shotguns.

they are supposed to be the strongtest type of weapons in close combat.

and they are in apex.

so if you run into close combat or let the enemy engage you in close combat while you do not have a shotgun, they are superior.

it also requires skill to not let that happen.

(which is the other thing you do not want to understand)

the best weaponry to counter shotguns is mid- to longrange weapons to not let them get close.

i also understand that a lot of people do not WANT to play like that. they do not want to snipe, or 3030 longrange

to soften players up. they think its boring.

but that is just them not wanting to use the full potential of the whole weapon arsenal there is in apex imho.

i also see it in tournament games.

the first round of ALGS NA was very passive i felt. 19 teams within the last 2 circles.

and very few teams had a sniper on their team. that dosent even make sense.

like 1 sniper should always be on your team to soften up pushing partys. then shotguns wont be that much of a problem, as they seem to be now for some people.
