Gamer 'type'

[Mo-Nercy]

Wouldn't a truly skilled player be able to avoid being ambushed by some n00b with a shotgun?

I was thinking the exact same thing. It's not the weapon that makes someone a n00b or 1337, it's the gamer themselves. I don't know a lot about MLG, but restricting the choice of weapon to just one in an FPS seems as silly as telling people who play fighting games competitively they can only use their face to press the buttons because it's too easy to use fingers. And only n00bs use their hands to play games.
