For awhile i hated shotguns, Cursed them every match, but in all seriousness they are only effective when your right in the face of your opponent, not even a little bit useful otherwise. Fusion rifles on the other hand actually could use some tweaking, the power, range, or charge rate need to be adjusted (slightly) to be more In line with shotguns, i.e. useful in close proximity, not so much otherwise. What your suggesting is basically a nerf to the guns whether you worded it that way or not, your tired of getting killed by them so you want their use limited. Also, If your "adjustment" actually happened you would see a hundred more threads about certain AR's being too powerful, so you solved one problem but created another, see what i'm getting at? Piece of advice, instead of trying to force the game into what you want it to be, try adapting to the game, its a lot more fun that way.
