(Opinion) Do you think special weapons need to be re-evaluated for the Crucible?
I made this video talking about fixing the current situation with special weapons, specifically shotguns. I DON'T want anything nerfed or buffed, but just tweaked enough to allow primaries to make a comeback. After receiving my first Matador for year 3, I decided to see what makes this weapon more preferable over the other specials in the Crucible.
I'm open to honest opinions, and please make this a fair discussion. If you're just here to bash on those who have always had a problem with specials, whatever class of weapon it may be, then turn away now. This is an open discussion to address the elephant(s) in the room.
Arguments should be open to everyone. Play nice, and enjoy what I have to say about the current state of special weapons.

In my opinion the issue with shotguns is the fact that it is a instant oneshot kill to the body. (If in range). That sort of thing should only be reserved for heavies and supers. What I would do is reduce the damage and increase the range of all shotguns by 25%, except chaparone and lord of wolves. Chaparone I would only reduce the damage by 10% and increase range by 25%. Lord of wolves I would still reduce damage by 25% but increase range by 3x. In all honesty range was never the issue with shotguns, it was the instant one shot kill that was.
