This video was posted today by True Vanguard on his YouTube Channel. It shows EVERYTHING that is wrong in The Crucible with regard to the imbalance between player speed, augmented durability skills...and the killing power of primaries.
In the video, you're seeing the lengths that one of the best players in the game has to go through SIMPLY TO STAND HIS GROUND against a Juggernaut/skating/shotgun Warrior. One who is basically just bum-rushing him from mid-range, (when Vanguard makes his effort to take him out) and making no effort to doge his fire.
This video shows why Bungie will NEVER be able to nerf shotguns enough to fix this problem. Not when a Titan skater can charge at you from the entire length of that back courtyard on Bannerfall...and NONE of the game's primaries can do enough damage to kill him before he reaches shotgun range.
[b] Effectively making a Matador 64 into a mid-range weapon that can dominate what are SUPPOSED to be the game's mid-range weapons. [/b]
The game's primaries are so weak, that the only reliable counter seems to be what are basically TWO special weapons: Pop the shield with a No Land Beyond...and then hose the guy down with a side arm. ....and that's once again, in the hands of one of the game's best snipers.
To those who want to say, "Oh but the game will have a CoD TTK."
This video is showing you that the game ALREADY has a CoD TTK...and that shaving a few feet off of Matadors range....or adding a few frames to its handling won't solve this game's fundamental problems.
Edit:
This video linked on another thread addresses the same DPS problem....but from a different perspective...and reaches the same conclusion.

Bungie are stupid and they know it.

He stated the same thing during the blink shotgun era. Things will only change for the worse.

Where are the 2 safest places to be in this game when you are near a shotgun......... outside of their range or in the air...... now combine those 2 ;) Emporium bellicose/fusion rifle/doctrine = death for anyone skating with a jug shield..... anyone shotgun rushing you in general.

I feel like the elimination of the range stat would work wonders for Destiny. It's the main problem. You just can't out DPS someone charging at you unless you are quicker and more accurate on your shotgun trigger finger. Or they miss. The moment you see a red blip on your radar, that player is safe to rush at you with their shotgun without you being able to out DPS them. And vice versa. Shotguns beat any gun fight if both players are on each other radars.

Laughing at the people who still play Destiny PvP day in day out :v
