The problem I have is primaries just don't work half the time and fusion rifles are still way too inconsistent even if you think you have a great roll on fusions they just suck apart from a few but even then the gun battles are complete luck.
Shotguns may be fine but it's other weapons that are not helping anything I mean why should I have to put a billion shots into a shotgun rusher and be sponged all the time.
Shotguns should be used in certain situations but right now they're being used as a primary weapon in pvp and it's honestly just cancer the crucible right now so I'm staying well away.

They are not a cancer. The problem is---as you mentioned----primary weapons. They kill too slowly for the speed at which Guardians move. The problem with shotguns isn't their range. Its the fact that their EFFECTIVE range is the distance they can shoot PLUS the ground that the player using it can cover in the 0.8 seconds it takes your primary weapon to kill. So---at the distances most ecounters take place at on smaller maps----by the time the shotgunner and the person with the primary weapon see each other, the shotgun rusher has the advantage. Unless you have room to backpedal and therefore keep him from closing, he can just run or fly at you and get to within shotgun range for the OHK, faster than you can kill him with your primary.
