Shotguns are the 2nd most bangable weapon class

SMGs are gross and should be purged

[Melee or Die]

I come from the land of curb stomps and Locust (Gears); so shotguns are always my ideal weapon. Least favorite category? Pistols; not "Krogan" enough for me. Sniper Rifles; I hate the hipfire penalty (thank goodness for the Kishock!), and I loathe the hell outta auto-aim/aim-assist of any kind! Let me make my own mistakes, and let me be responsible for my own greatness! That's all I'm askin' for in a videogame.

Side note:
New players have the Genophage.

SMGs.. sissy weapons. Also, no variety.

[capn233]

Pistols as this class best exemplifies the crazy weapon balance in this game.

[Garrus1138]

I like all of them, but SMGs and ARs are my least used weapon-classes.

[TheShadyEngineer]

I'll go with SMGs as well, the lack of good weapons in the category kills it for me. It really comes down to Hurricane vs CSMG and since my CSMG is only rank V, I have to go Hurrdurr. Which gets very boring very fast.

[Marksmad is waving goodbye]

Pistols as this class best exemplifies the crazy weapon balance in this game.

You mean since it contains one of the best sniper rifles (Executioner), one of the best shotguns, (Talon) one of the best SMGs (Eagle), and one of the best pistols (Arc).

 

And who needs ARs anyway?

[hostaman]

SMG's

 

With the exception of the Hurricane, the other SMG's are rubbish (IMHO)

 

Pistols are a close second. I too only really use the Eagle, with an honourable mention for the Executioner.

[Dr. Tim Whatley]

Snipers.
 
Stupid aim assist and slow camera/aim movement on console just make sniping too painful for me.

This.

My hands also won't let me use ARs and SMGs, so I'm stuck with pistols and shotguns.

[PoetryAvenger]

Even though I like quite a few of them, Snipers definitely as far as overall weapon classes go.

It's like the SR scope turns my brain to mush.

[PresidentVorchaMasterBaits]

sniper rifles mainly because of the auto aim bullshit.

[Heldarion]

Must be SMG's because only Hurricane is any good and broken while we're at it

[Papa5murf]

Ok so according to this thread not only am I a noob but I'm also a sissy.

 

I only ever use SMGs or Pistols, and hate using Snipers or Shotties (can't aim on console...)

[Evil]

I'm going to say SMG's too.

 

The CSMG is decent, and the BPP can be made to work, but the hurricane does dominate the category, and the fact that 1/7th of all my amps are SMG amps means that I do get sick of using the bloody thing from time to time.

 

If only I could swap SMG amps for shotgun amps...

[DaryAlexV]

Smg, heavy pistols, sniper rifles... You know, all that pyjak crap.

 

I just use shotgun. Every time.

[JPN17]

None. I like all 5 weapon categories. I use sniper rifles the least, but it's not because I don't like them.

[Mindlog]

I really do like all the weapon categories so I will resort to science to answer the question.

 

I have 30 more Sniper III amps than SMG III amps.

Snipers are my least favored weapon class.

[ClydeInTheShell]

Sniper Rifles. I have to force myself to use them most of the time, mainly so I can conserve Shotgun & SMG amps. 

 

My theory on it is that new players aren't willing to gamble with the risk vs. reward of shotgun use because the risk is much higher for them due to their limited experience. I hated shotguns in the beginning too, until I realized that being close to enemies means I can do more damage as opposed to being more susceptible to it. It took me a while to get comfortable being up close & personal with bad guys knowing how melee & sync kills work. 

[path0geN7]

Snipers

[PsychoticBiotic]

Sniper Rifle.

[junker1990]

SMGs

[Red Panda]

I don't know. There's no evidence to support your claim other than an experience you heard. Therefore, I cannot accept that new players hate shotguns.
 
Still, I personally hate sniper rifles since there is no long range combat in the game that would be ideal for sniper rifles alone. As such I view them as superfluous and as a means to not use the amps of other weapons for a while since scoping in on a swarmer over a phantom can be troubling due to auto-aim.

[Cyonan]

SMGs would be my least favourite since a lot of them feel underwhelming, and they have the least variety.

 

I don't really see how newer players would dislike Shotguns though. It's arguably the best weapons class in the game, especially for people who aren't rocking a bunch of higher level UR guns yet.

IMO, new players don't have smart choke or cyclonics/shield boosting gear. So, cannot hit nothing with shotguns at range and cannot cqc since it needs some experience.
