Mouse myth: Higher DPI is better.
You see this misleading info a lot. Here is an article explaining why that is false.

Right, but with a spread of 150cm @10m, giving it more range than that matters less because you'd be missing nearly all your pellets at the previous 27m max range. (when compared to say range changes for a weapon like the cr762).
The pellet system itself was a buff to all shotguns, Ogre included.
Range nerf is largely pointless due to the large pellet spread of the Ogre.
Fact is its always been a bad gun, maybe you are just noticing it for the first time.
While I too would like more interaction between us and the devs, I do want to mention just how hard they are working. I wouldn't want anyone to think otherwise. Truly they are making sacrifices irl for this game.
Honestly I'd prefer even one of the Raptors or ATACs for a starter weapon. VERY easy to use, but with obvious downsides. Want to make up for the downsides? Try a more difficult AR.
