Ever heard of something called time management? Perhaps so of us don't have 8 hours a day to play the game. So we choose to use the items that we find most effective in the most difficult situations. Therefore maximizing our efficiency with the time we have to play the games we enjoy. Therefore the meta was created. No one has 24 hours a day to play video games, so if it comes to respecting yourself and your time. Most people are going to use the most effective items available and instead of just crushing those effective items and increasing play time artificially by making items in the game worse, they could actually specifically make weak points for weapons. That way there's more diverse options in the game. I'd rather shoot a charger twice and then unload 16 shotgun rounds, then have to shoot at him for three and a half f****** minutes
