Shotgun overuse
Ok so I know we all love shotguns in destiny, but at times they get a little overused, now I have been in rumble matches where nobody uses any primary now I just came back from a clash match and I didn't get killed by not one auto rifle, hand canon (one guy with a scout rifle he used it once and went back to shotgun ) etc ,this is becoming a issue that is quite surprisingly angering me, because I can no longer use whatever kind of gun I want anymore

right now this game is Call of Destiny. I have all the OP weapons, have used them and fought against them. I remember a time when I would look at the "killcam" and what the hell is that? (looking at the name of what I was killed with) All these different names that I had never seen before, wondering where they got it, looking around in the tower to see who might be selling it, just to try it out for myself. Present day, theres no reason to wonder. Thorn, TLW. Felwinters, Matador, Party Crasher. Theres no variety anymore because these guns, as Datto said, terrorize" the crucible. Its so bad that it causes a chain reaction. Say in this fantasy world, no one is using any of those, someones dies a bunch of times, they rage, they change weapons. As the match progresses, almost everyones loadout has changed to fit into the fast time to kill. I would hate to see this game become just another twitch shooter and thats what Im seeing the gameplay leaning towards. Hopefully this patch will reignite some balance and we will see a much more diverse range off weapons being used.

Overused because most of the maps in the rotation are close quarters. Use a sniper rifle in lets say Anomaly and you're gonna have a hard time. And Fusion Rifles... Well... At this point who uses them anymore?

10 RepliesBlink and map design are the current reasons why shotguns are overused and overpowered. Sometimes you need to modify maps and abilities rather than the weapons themselves to balance their usability.

Yes. I think shotguns need a large nerf due to their overuse. Imo, they should not be a ohk from 5 feet away, let alone 15

I've taken up sniping them as they come out of blink.

2 RepliesWell when it takes 6+ shots to the chest. with a 365 voc to kill someone and these maps are the size of my bathroom. What do you expect? Back in the cod 2 days you had to deal with being double tapped by the m1 garand and one shotted by the kar98. You weren't a bullet sponge like destiny

But the problem is the maps and the rotation. Anamoly and Cauldron are two of the most frequent maps in the rotation, and they are biased heavily towards shotguns and handcannons. But First Light and Widow's Court don't have a shotgun problem, simply because they aren't universally useful on those maps. But only one of these is in the current rotation, and it appears only rarely. It's not the shotguns themselves, it's that a large percentage of your encounters are happening at very short range.

4 RepliesI think they are getting a slight nerf in 2.0

2 RepliesIt depends on ranged playstyle Shotguns are cqb, if you can get a good team to hold enemy team back then you can used more ranged options Unfortunately due to small map lanes an sizes battles are very cqb bias focused so every one uses shottys an due to secondary out dmging primary most favor secondary weapons
