Shotguns unbalanced

I use a sniper but think something should be done.

Ok not complaining here but something needs to be said about what they did to shotguns... Some people clearly have no idea how much "range" a shotgun has and since that update unless I wanna get last word spammed or "quickscoped" it's just not worth the risk of running shotgun, as for snipers I think something needs to be done e.g no aim assist so they can't just lock on and drag they scope with it, massively increase scope in and out times, and not just pulling the scope and being lucky to dome someone crossmap. So pretty much they penalised shotgun users, it's only fair they penalise snipers at close range?

  • I have to say the current situation is unbalanced more than the THORN meta. Im not having fun anymore in crucible like I used to be. It is full of sniping and red dots cross the map.

  • If we're going for a 'realistic' kind of feel then shotguns needed no Nerf at all. And snipers should technically get a buff in close range because of the size of the rounds they fire, battlefield 4 did it well with snipers being a one shot kill to the body within a certain distance without defensive perk and then damage dropping off the further out you were.. Granted destiny is a completely different style of game but I enjoyed getting those twitch no scopes on someone trying to knife me and them sending me salty messages I still don't think shotguns needed s Nerf regardless. They're supposed to be deadly up close that's what they're designed for and reducing their range is no good, I've seen shotguns decimate targets from all sorts of ranges and I think too many people just don't know how to counter shotgun uses hence the cry for Nerf [spoiler]you can counter anything if you're not an idiot why bother nerfing everything [/spoiler]

  • Shotguns are balanced? Last time I checked if your barrel is touching them it should get a kill not take 70% of their shields... Nor should a whole classes melee have more range lmao.

    • Hahaha penalise ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Nah but seriously you couldn't have said it any better. It's next to impossible to get a flank on someone now (usually a sniper) without virtually touching their nipples with your barrel and by that time you've already been gunned down by nirwins mercy, out ranged by last word or quickscoped by some sweaty with Dorito crumbs on their controller. Yeah shotguns may have had the slightest bit too much range but you could counter it by simply turning around and walking the other way, they're supposed to be a "close range" weapon that packs a punch now it's an even closer range gun that packs a sandwich for your lunch. There was never that much of an issue with shotguns pre 2.0, if you're silly enough to charge someone with a shotgun aimed at you; you probably deserved to be shot. All (whatever the [b]f[/b]uck I just said) aside both snipers and shotguns need to be "fixed" snipers maybe take a bit the AA away and minimise the hitbox size and shotguns make them usable again just give them their range back ( give or take a couple meters ;) ). Plz make shotguns viable in the crucible again

      • SIMPLE FIX: Everyone use the gun you want nerfed. This is how Bungie works take advantage of it. I'll be maining a sniper until shotguns are decent again. Not that I want it nerfed, but I am against the shotgun nerf so I refuse to use them.

        • Bring back shot package and some range. This is casual game, at most I'd rather keep it casual and not competitive.

          • I think everything is good now. Shotguns feel balanced, snipers feel balanced, my only complaint is fusion rifles are total shit
