People in this forum can be so naive, what people do simply not understand is by nerfing snipers, pulses hand cannons and auto rifles (changes have been made I acknowledge that but overall they aren't as good) shotguns (despite their WARRANTED changes, e.g. Shot package removal) have been inadvertently buffed. Doctrine used to destroy a warrior, now it falls short, hand cannons just plain and simple ghost a lot of the time, pulse rifles just don't quite cut it. Put this with how destiny and its map are designed and you should realise there are a problem with shotguns, it's very easy to get into close range, movement techniques (such as skating) make it very easy for you to cross ground. Furthermore abilities further enhance shotguns, juggernaut, warlock melees as example make shotguns even more powerful, so anyone that says there is no issue with shotguns are seriously mistaken.
