I like the competition of outgunning people/being more accurate then the enemy. I play crucible for a competitive reason and using a shotgun is cheap. I don't ever use em, and all the people out there who spam shotties, your no good and you're the reason crucible is shit. I understand that some people use em because they just wanna get bounties done or whatever because they don't like crucible but all the people who play crucible for fun and rely on a shotty then you should know you are garbage. Blink and shotgunning people is soooo pathetic. And people complain about the thorn well thats what i use when a lot of the enemy team are using shotguns. Compared to a shotty its a pretty fair fight, 3 shot kill compared to a one shot kill. If you rely on a shotty then stop bitching about the thorn when someone uses it on you because they probably got tired of getting oneshotted by a noob. :)
