Shotgun usage last week went up, this week it went up [b]another 38%[/b]. That puts the total at [b]85.89%[/b]
Something needs to be done about this... Bungo pls. Primaries are obsolete at this point, and that is sad. The Burning Shrine only had 53% shotgun usage, and 38% sniper usage in secondaries. Those numbers are far better, and make the game much more enjoyable.
For those of you wondering what % primaries are being used at right now compared to secondary weapons, I don't know. Unfortunately it doesn't compare primary vs secondary. But with a shotgun number up at 85%, and usage gone up by 38% it's pretty safe to say the majority of players aren't even using a primary.
I'd like to see a change, it's difficult for Bungie to cater to everyone. But if these numbers weren't so far on opposite ends of the spectrum, the game would be more fun. It would nice to see those numbers [b]evened out across the board[/b]. A small solution could simply be, allow less ammo for shotguns. They are high risk high reward, and should be used as such. [u]My titan can hold over 18 shotgun shells[/u], that will last an entire Trials match. I can literally use a [i][b]Special Weapon[/b] [/i] the entire time and never even switch to my primary. This is not right.
EDIT: [b]For everyone saying these numbers are only because of the last 2 weeks with no radar/revive. You are WRONG. These numbers are pretty consistent over the last 9 weeks. Shotguns FOR THE LAST 9 WEEKS have been used OVER 20% MORE THAN SNIPERS. EVERY WEEK. The [u]ONLY[/u] week it was even, was 10 weeks ago, when Trials was the assorted playlist. They were both around 48% usage. After that, the following 9 weeks, shotguns dominated by over 20% EVERY WEEK.[/b]

[spoiler]Yes, I use a shotgun A LOT. I feel like I have to during this meta.[/spoiler]

21 RespuestasSnipers were sitting at 70% for all of taken king (more or less) until flinch was nerfed. Didn't see u complaining then did I?
-
I like it this was i can't snipe for shit

Editado por DEEBO_X: 11/9/2016 12:10:53 AMFusion rifle is more fun.
-
because they nerfed snipers and the perks even farther when shotguns were king
-
There is obviously something wrong with their attempts to balance the weapons as everyone is now using shotguns. Might as well disregard all other weapons at the moment
-
That low!?
-
3 RespuestasI'm still trying to deter those shotgun rushers by repeatedly crouching on top of their ghosts. I might need to be more forward with them if the numbers appear to be [b]rising[/b].

Cba to read your story. What do people and bungieexpect? A stupid change to trials with no revives or radar on tiny maps. Of course people will play it safe with shotguns. Don't blame shotguns or cry for Nerfs because of this statistic. It's the developers faults for being idiots and changing the game mode
-
3 Respuestasand then in iron banner, you get 2 points for special kills and 1 for primary. c'mon bungholes!!!!
-
5 RespuestasFor all those saying, "It's just map design problems!" You do realize it's not like the average 3 months ago was for different maps, right? Which means saying it's only map design that is the problem is inconsistent. These numbers didn't change when maps changed; they changed after snipers were nerfed and matador 64 was introduced. #logic
-
Not that I agree with you but....... You will love Iron Banner. There is a bounty where get extra points for special weapon kills. Can you say shotgun.....
-
When u have no radar a shotty is the best answer
-
8 Respuestasi dont want cod style game. Shotgun nerf range will be enough for me.
-
10 RespuestasWho cares? The game mode was basically Inferno, you didn't have a radar, everyone's best bet was to run with shotgun, plus this map was terrible for snipers. God everyone bitches because they aren't good enough to out play a shotgun <5 feet away.
-
8 RespuestasCause you scrubs cried for everything to be nerded into the ground. Shotguns were terrible, but you buried everything right next to them lol. Deal with it kid. Nerfs won't help you scrub.
-
When its a small map with no radar using a shotgun is the best strategy...I perfer using my primary...however I resorted to my shotgun quite frequently this week
-
When u have no radar a shotty is the best answer
-
Nerf fusions ! That's the answer
-
Meanwhile I am still running my Y2 loadout... Doctrine, 1000 Yard Stare, Truth 🔥💯
-
3 RespuestasBut this was a shotgun map?
-
Is that all?
-
Thats lower than I thought it would be. Remember if you remove radar on a corridor map your pretty stupid for not taking a shotty in. Its hands down the best weapon for this scenario. Horses for courses and Common sense brah.
-
Since there was no radar the last 2 weeks everybody was crouching in corners with shotguns duh
-
4 RespuestasFinally the game has shifted to where it's less campy and all you do is complain? True snipers are gonna snipe amd succeed no matter what...and they still do. Git gud.
-
1 RespuestaIn my mind, in the perfect world there wouldnt be any special ammo in trials and the special ammo would replace the heavy. Still in my perfect world destiny pvp either wouldnt exist or would be drastically different from what it is today so who am I to judge.

11 RespuestasFor the last time. Shotguns aren't the issue. It's primary weapons. Shotguns are just overused. That's all. They aren't OP in anyway.
