Suggestion Description:
A bit of the skill aspect of the game is negated by the RNG of the shotgun spread, and the angles also seem more skewed based on your Y axis positioning.
Why not remove the RNG spread and just do a static circular spread for shotguns. It's pretty annoying and makes the game "feel" like its hit registry sucks when your shots are dead centered but sometimes do very little damage and sometimes you will randomly deal massive damage when off center. Just in general it makes a lot of people call bullshit in a lot of fights, or blame lag, or blame the game's hit reg when often times it's just the RNG spread working out in a really awful way.
On a another note, I'm a fan of precision aiming and I feel like there could be a slight overhaul to revolver play. The current issue is that it's supposed to be a precision weapon, but based on the RNG of the spread the only viable way to use them is to pedal away from opponents until the RNG goes in your favor. So either the revolvers would have to suffer a damage nerf to lose the random spread or maybe even an introduction of a new type that is more accurate but weaker per shot. It could be balanced based on a trial period where it gets tweaked to a point where it doesn't feel either overpowered or underpowered. But I feel like there is a higher mechanical skill ceiling to having to hit more pin-point accurate shots rather than just getting someone caught in a massive weapon spread.
Implementing both of these changes would surely affect the TTK (Time to Kill) of general combat, so the damage output of the weapons might seem higher, which could be negated with damage nerfs for the weapons across the board. But in the end it would make the game feel a bit more aim intensive and less RNG-based, which can only be a good thing imho.
TL;DR - fixing the RNG spread of shotguns and revolvers to be static but at the same time lowering weapon damage a bit, so the game rewards aim % over time rather than having RNG elements have such a big role in the game would give the game a more competitive feel while also having the hit registry feel better.
