Shotguns? Overused to the point of unbalance?
Insert, copy, paste rage.
I am getting to the point where I really do not want to play PvP at all because of them alone. 4 / 5 players doing nothing but speed rushing with blink and shotguns. Yes I can kill them. Does that matter? It is not fun. There is no rating system for PvP, it is about having fun. This concept of people spamming shotgun is un-fun. When a shotgun can kill someone in one shot across the room, there needs to be something changed. When I have to go into rumble and fight friken hordes of shotgun spammers for a shitty bounty, it ruins the game.
How could they even fix this? I say put a movement hindrance de-buff when using shotguns. I feel as if the idea of the shotgun is not two handed, but a guardian flying through the air using it handgun style. Just opinion, not like it would ever change.
Bungie putting out useful patches is what they need to buff

For example, if you are in an open field, you're probably not going to run around with a shotgun because you will get picked apart before you can get close to someone. Unfortunately, almost all of Destiny's maps are designed as mid to close quarters combat. There are areas of some maps that are suitable for sniping or mid range weapons, but that is the main reason for all the shotguns, titan shoulder charges, etc. Why would I have out any other weapon if I can close the distance so very easily? Halo’s maps were so much better because of the different design types. A number of open-field type maps where gunplay was the determining factor between winning and losing. Destiny focuses on hallways and small corridors mostly, so it’s only expected that everyone will use shotguns.
