Unless a player had extraordinarily shit aim, all BR duels were down to whoever got the first shot off
lol.

There is literally no situation in which an AR or SMG will outgun the BR, because they both strip shields at a similar rate, but the BR has a potential 1 shot kill once shields are down, whereas the AR does not.
That's the point.  The AR and SMG are guns with no risk, and not a great reward.  You have to be completely thumbless to miss with these guns.  That shouldn't be rewarded better than a gun that isn't as forgiving.

You're oversimplifying precision weapons.  I have a very hard time believing that you constantly pull 4 shot kills on competent players.

Oh, I'm far from a perfect aim, but even a blind person can get the headshot within 3 shots after the shield goes down, which is still easily enough time to withstand an AR/SMG barrage. The AR and SMG are basically guaranteed deaths if you're going up against someone with a BR. I'm not oversimplifying precision weapons, they just dominate almost any map.

I'm not saying the automatics are better, I'm saying they shouldn't be, ever.  They're there for people who can't be bothered to use more than 3 brain cells at any given time.  The average player recognizes that, and puts their faith in their ability to aim.

You're still oversimplifying precision weapons.

the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.

You're not wrong, even I could get kills with the BR, and I have all the skill of a giraffe. Helps that the headshot hitbox was gigantic.
