U must not play sweats then, watch the upcoming tournament on ps4. I guarantee u it will be mostly shotgunners. In trials, u do see alot of snipers but the very elite mainly shotgun. As a top player who does sweats and is ranked highly in alot of playlists. I can tell u from experience. When u come across the best players in the world, they mainly shotgun. Anyways ur idea of top tier pvp may differ from mine then but ya I'm going off of players who are widely known to be the best players. I go off what I see in tournaments and sweats.
