Care to explain me something?

i would attribute this to the way shotgun's are in 1.1. people who are at the top end of skill can't do any better in pubs than people who use shotguns unless they're experienced in killing new players, which isn't skillful at all. bad players can do semi-ok with shotgun and become content with it, without improving at all. hence, we now have very little new players entering competitive play because there is no motivation to get better. i'd honestly just have the shotgun removed if i was in charge, since it doesn't fit AC's gameplay at all, but i'm sure someone could suggest a better solution that makes shotgun harder to use and rewards skill.

Part of what you say here is just nonsense, are you telling me that you can't do any better in pubs than semi-ok players with sg? Come on!! Any good player can rock the pubs if he decides to put just a little effort into it. If you have good aim you will do well in pubs no matter what guns others are using. Those like yourself who are in it for the competition just don't have the patience for pubs, since there is little to no competition there (we have ladders, sure but who relle cares about them?)
Like Doog said what you failing to understand is that some guys don't give a rats ass about AC's competitive scene, they just in it for crap maps, the IRC laughs and the eventual chaotic pub game. You can kill the sg if you like, but that won't make any difference caus a lot dudes just do not care about a league or a cup tittle enough to put the amount of time and effort necessary be become a good AC player.
