Low TTK is ruining my enjoyment of this game

For the record, I'm not seeing overall better personal stats or really a change in wins or how far I get in the game.  I'm having my good games and bad games like before.  I've even had instances where I surprised myself getting the jump on a player, it distracts my aim so that it's a bit off, and he/she turns and puts me down feeling like a chump lol!!

The difference is in how it plays out.  This feels more rewarding.  If I engage properly and my aim is true, I'm getting the knock and in good order.  I'm getting properly rewarded for that.  Before, I'd sit stunned as my opponent sponges every bullet I hit him with, knowing that even if I win the fight it's taking so long that I'm about to get jumped.  And of course, it often happens.  I can't tell you how many times I wished we could throw our guns in this game.  I wanted to just throw it at his face and get it over with lol!!!  It also had caused this game to be too formulaic in how the map was approached, especially the third party situation.
