Thorn is way worse than felwenters as theirs party crasher and matador to combat with that. Theirs a few approaches that they could take to nerf that wouldn't break the game.

Counters to one shot long range shotguns? Do they magically shoot themselves after you are dead?

Snipers? Also don't rush someone if you see someone running toward you their going to most likely be shot gunning. You can't blame shotguns if you have anything to blame it's map design they are set up for cqc. The people who blink shotgun are the ones who only strike a nerve and that's because they jump around the map using nothing but one. And last but not least If you can't beat em join em. I was against shotguns and refused to use one but eventually I said -blam!- it you have to use one to compete on the cqc maps. Also 75% of the time with shotguns if you both shoot each other fairly close within a second of each other you both end up dying anyways.

I'm not complaining about anything. I was pointing out the flaw in your logic. Also I'm not sure if you've been playing the same pvp I have but there aren't many places to rock a sniper in these maps.

The new maps have plenty and a couple of maps like pantheon blind watch shores of time asylum If you camp the stairs but that was my point you can't blame shotguns as the maps are heavily cqc based.
