This argument is the dumbest argument anyone could think of. Just because it hasn't been "buffed" (did get a range boost) since year one doesn't mean it's fine the way it is. Every shotgun ( with the acception of UR) no longer spawns with Max ammo this makes the UR better than every other shotgun in that you don't have to worry about conserving ammo. Primary ttk has been increased so much that just having a shotgun as you primary instantly makes you better than someone with a standard primary (if you avoid long sight lines and such) Hell if you are worried about long distance engagement you can just run UR and a sniper. If Bungie plans on nerfing things in this game based on balance then the UR is absolutely the next thing on the chopping block.

Maybe nerfing isn't the solution. They can't spawn your primary with no ammo....

I'm not offering a solution to balance it, I was merely stating that if bungie decides to nerf something in the name of "balance" I can almost guarantee it will be the UR simply because it "has been causing some players stress".

All other shotguns have been nerfed. Universal Remote is currently the best overall shottie. Primary kill times have also been drastically increased across the board.

It's been buffed

No it hasn't, everything has been nerfed into the illusion of a buff.

Nope.
