If you couldn't already tell, I hate the Golden Gun. In this post I will be comparing it to the other supers.
First of we have the the Fist of Havoc, this is probably the super that does the most damage (or at least should). It is a melee smash that you need to aim and be in close proximity to use, where as the golden gun does the same amount of damage but is ranged and lasts a long time compared to a brief moment that it takes to use Fist of Havoc. Obviously in a very close quarters scenario the Titan should come out on top but, because of golden gun one shoting them before they can use their super the Titan doesn't seem to win a scenario which it should undoubtedly win.
Secondly we have the Nova Bomb, being a warlock I have a bias opinion on this super, but honestly it has a relatively long cast time and is super situational. For example, if you were a good hunter and you activated your super you are almost guaranteed 3 kills, where as with the nova bomb, if used in an ideal scenario you could get 6 kills, but often this doesn't happen, we usually on end up with 1 or 2, again the golden gun comes out on top.
The Solution
Ok, after thinking long and hard, having experiencing all of these supers to the face and playing all the guardians, I have decided on what Bungie should do to Nerf Golden Gun. It's actually quite simple, raise the weapon clip size to 4, and instead of ever shot being a "one-shot-kill" make it be a two shot kill, but every head shot will be a one shot, this will allow the hunter to require more skill to play and successfully Nerf the golden gun, but still allowing it to be just as powerful in the hands of a skilled marksmen.
If you read to the end your already legend ;)
I would like to say that if this Nerf doesn't happen, which is likely it won't, I will STILL BE OK WITH IT. It doesn't affect me that much and the more I've played the better I have learned to deal with it, my post was just my opinion not a request.

Here's the thing though: The Golden Gun doesn't actually have a huge amount of time before it expires. And if you try summoning it in the middle of a firefight with no cover, you're SOL, unlike the Titan which is almost instantaneous with it's super, meaning if you're close enough and activate it, you're alive...unless you miss or forget the guy in the back or something. The Warlock's super can be terrific in certain circumstances, but, as you said, it rarely happens. That said, it does happen. The nerf idea wouldn't be too bad, but as many others said, it's basically just turning it into a sniper rifle without a scope. That, and the fact that a skilled player is now pretty much guaranteed four kills instead of just three if they use it correctly.
