Why shotguns don't belong in Apex Legends

Let me criticize shotguns in a whole, rather than pointing out the overuse of Mastiff/EVA-8. Shotguns in a traditional sense are dangerous, but only when two requirements are met: you're close enoug...

    Sipers are  fine,  except  the bowkek has faster projectile speed than a sniper, which is a sorryass lame thing. Shotguns should not be in Apex, at least not with a serious damage and-or reload time nerfing. And hate it or not, I'll report  every single  shotgun kill as gameplay exploit until anything happens. I'm officially  sick that an EVA-8 with a purple bolt can grind down an entire squad...

      This is why it is so annoying. No matter how good you are, those shotguns just can't be beaten... Less than 2 seconds TTK.

        I'd rather write into a topic I already participated in. I want to bring this up again because it's getting worse. And I didn't think it could get worse. It's getting more and more common that whole enemy squads use the EVA-8 or Mastiff and shred through teams like they're butter. It's getting heavily annoying as well when your entire team takes EVA-8 as well and expects you to take one, too.

        I just had the case where people kept pestering me about taking an EVA-8. Like yeah... People expect you to take the meta.

        Really, how do people keep thinking this meta is alright and supposed to be this way?

        Players: Okay! But how do I do this? They can teleport, sprint at you, grapple or do other fancy things to shorten the time it takes for them to get to you?

        Professionals: Use Revenant.

        Players: Okay, but what if I don't want to play revenant?

        Professionals: Use cover.

        Players: What point does cover have if people hug you with the shotgun and there is zero point in using cover?

        Professionals: Adapt instead of whining.

        Players: ???
