KSG is the worst one in my opinion (AA-12 is arguably worse). It and the spaz just don't get the job done as well as the USAS. You can spam the striker but the range and damage was knocked, the USAS however has practically the same fire rate (striker is capped lower, you can jam it by spamming too fast) and much better range. I've got around 6k striker kills, most of which were pre patches. Since then I've gotten about 4k out of the other shotguns. But it really depends on the player, I've just found the USAS to be the best for me.
USAS is undeniably the best ok, I'm saying the Striker is still a great shotgun nerf'd or not, and remember only the number of pellets was reduced, the range is the same, the fire rate is considerably higher than any of the other shotguns, high fire rate + lower damage can sometimes be better than slow fire rate + high damage as you only have one chance with slower firing gun, get a hitmarker without cover to go behind you will most likely get killed by a rapid fire smg lol.
