So...shotguns are OP again

Literally 1/2 of kills in crucible are shotgun kills. Almost everyone is shotgun-melee-blinking. And the MIDA is up there too with 1/4 of kills... this is getting out of hand...

  • The only thing I don't like about shotguns is the way engagements turn out. It's not an epic battle, seeing who can land headshots during pressure. Primary vs primary, or even sniping battles. It's like somebody comes around a corner, shoots once, it's done. I'm like "OH LETS GOO.... " it's over.

  • Dude, it's a shotgun, made for up close gunfights. Stop being in shotgun range and maybe they won't kill you

    • They haven't changed, bro. Use a fusion, those are good again, and perfect for repelling them.

          The answer is quite simple, the weapons you mention are conducive to an active playstyle. You tend to get more kills (and more deaths) when you put yourself in the action. Shotguns + mida might have a lot of kills but I guarantee you that sniper primary people will have higher K/Ds (but less kills) since it generally promotes a passive/safer playstyle. Personally, I prefer the active playstyle or at least a passive aggressive playstyle. If I have a sniper equipped, I find most of my kills are with the primary because I don't particularly enjoy camping my spawn for 12 minutes. To me it isn't much fun...

            Let me get this straight though. A weapon that can 2 shot body at any range, 1 shot headshot kill at any range, 1 shot headshot through an overshield, 1 shot headshot kill most any super is fine.... BUT the weapon that has to be within 8 feet or less to kill is overpowered?? [spoiler]Help! I've Fallen and I can't get up[/spoiler]

            • Apologies for my shotgun blasts and mida shots. Here are some tips to avoid me killing you. Dodge/duck/dip/dive/dodge. Oh, and learn to use a fusion rifle. Biggest pain in the ass for us that use shotguns a lot...

                It's because those are the guns that work. Maybe you'll complain enough and they will nerf them then everyone will start using fusion rifles because they are better than shotguns and using suros instead of mida. Then those will get nerfed more than the shot guns so people will switch back. It's back and forth constantly. Just leave the shit alone.

                  • Shotguns aren't overpowered. It's just a result of the "nerf" to sniper rifles.

                    • The mida/shotgun combo is the easiest to use which is why it's overused. That doesn't mean. It's OP or most effective in skilled hands.
