Everyone has a shotgun in the crucible. I do. But there's a reason.... For close quarters combat. Usually I'll use Hawkmoon, raid shotty, and a heavy, or the Fang, Invective and a heavy. Primary for longer distance engagement, shotgun for close quarters.
I will say that maybe Bungie should make the shotguns 1 shot you to bout 1/16th of your health at any range max, so at least you have a chance to fight back.
Point is, don't cry about people with shotguns. If you know they have one, stay away from them and hit them from afar. You don't have to go running all over the place like a 10 year old playing laser tag.

You're a moron. If everyone is running shotguns they easily means there are no better options in most scenarios. Dude fusion rifles got nerfed you can't even use them to counter.anymore since they rarely one shot. Sitting back is barely a good answer since they have mobility on their side. Jumping and sliding makes it harder for you to realibly kill. If you want to win a rumble easy use a shotgun easiest gun with the most reward. Anyone who says differently sucks at this game and don't understand proper weapon balance
