Make special ammo a timed drop just like heavy ammo. That way teams can fight over it, there will be a limited supply so shotgun spam isn't as bad, and primary weapons actually serve a purpose in the Crucible.
Just what I think anyway.
Edit: I've seen enough of these mentioned to make my point about them clear to the point of the discussion
Universal Remote:
1. Lose an exotic slot
2. Gun isn't that good
3. No secondary for a time based on my suggestion, so you'd be at a disadvantage most the game.
4. Hand cannons
Invective:
1. Would still start with no ammo
2. Perk isn't so good that it becomes super reliable if this change happened
3. Still only have limited amount of ammo, so wouldn't be spammed TOO much
4. Lose an exotic slot
Icebreaker:
1. Stability sucks for PvP
2. Need the head shot or you're pretty much dead
3. Lose an exotic slot
Edit 2: April 9th Weekly update sounds very familiar!

The Last Word and Thorn outgun Heavy Machine guns. I think nerfing them would be a start.
