Missing the point, bro. Missing the point.
A Sparrow can kill if you ram a person with it. Does that make the Sparrow a competitive weappn, on par with the others? No, because the Sparrow's niche role is extremely small. Now look at Destiny. Most maps are extremely cramped and small, with many dark corners. Even on First Light and Bastion, people just stay in the tight corridors, just as you admitted in your overly lengthy post. That means the shotgun's niche is rather big... So big, that it became not a SPECIAL weapon, but a primary working horse for most people. That's what made it overpowered.
Glad Bungie realized it. The shotgun is no primary, it is supposed to be specialized for extremely close engagements. By reducing the effective range, a wider arsenal of primaries can now compete.
Another example is GoW. Is the Gnasher overpowered in most GoW games? HELL YES! 80% of all kills are made with the Gnasher. That is the true deciding factor for balance evaluation, young Padawan. Looking at the stats and concluding how well the respective weapon under the game's scenarios performs.

gow was designed for this type of kill though

Except most maps are CQC and theres special ammo everywhere.

If you don't want people to use shot guns stay out of the cramped spaces. And frankly its almost necessary to use a shot gun because it is very difficult to track your targets up close they can just jump around and run away if you try anything else. You can argue that comes down to skill but good luck killing a warlock with blink in close quarters with out a shot gun. And even if people do stop using shot guns in that same range its still more effective to melee than to try to shoot with like a auto rifle. the characters have too much agility for sustained damage up close.

If you can't kill someone in close quarters with a weapon other than a shotgun, you my friend, are very inexperienced. Learn to use a bad gun like Necrochasm and get 20+ kills with it in crucible like me. THEN talk to me about close quarters.

Edited by Vindictus: 6/26/2015 3:52:24 AMYou got a 1.1 KD dont even call yourself good you are average.
-
Oh, and by the way, if you need to go into my stats just to come up with a good response by insulting my KD, that's not just pathetic, but so are you.
-
When most people don't even have a positive KD, yeah, I can say what I want. Just like 2-1 you're just another person who needs a crutch to compete at all so you use a shotgun and Thorn.

you are very funny man.
