special weapon balance is actually weird.
I knew that shotguns were always dominant, but man the number you gave us on TWID is actually concering. You made it look fair by combining two weapons into one number to make it look fair, but that's just absurd.
even before meter system shotgun had 46% of kills, while fusion and snipe had 43%. which means that both had 30% - 10% or 20% - 20% each. that's already the double difference.
and after the meter shotguns had more then 76%, while sniper and fusion had 18%.
that means that each weapon didn't even had 10%. That's not about skill difference or anything, it's about weapon balance.
Please, just buff the other specials to be more reliable and consistent so that it can be valid options beside shotguns.

Numbers don’t tell the whole story. The point of that data was essentially to show that low skill players were getting most of their kills aping with shotguns and dying and then respawning with 2 ammo and doing the same. Shotguns will always be the most used secondary just like hunters will be the most used subclass (overall). But different skills and game modes have different usage stats and balancing based on total usage only is never a good thing across all skill ranges.
