Sooooo, in other words, you want a shotgun meta to return. If snipers are touched more than they already have been, it's gonna to push a shotgun meta. Look at 2.0's patch notes on snipers. Not to mention a few patches ago pushed out sniper changes as well. They've been nerfed twice since TTK. There's a fine line when balance comes to play, snipers are on that line already. Reducing AA isn't going to solve ANY problems either. There's still several people that use snipers with low AA. I can go between a Hidden Hand 1k and a Longbow with Ambush and the difference is hardly noticeable while the AA values are very different. You know what entirely solves the problem ? Buffing primaries. Bring back pre nerf AR's, HC's, and PR's. However, of course people complained about primaries to the point where secondaries like shotguns and snipers are becoming extremely over used. It's either we have strong primaries or we have strong secondaries.
