This is not the fault of shotgun apes. Why would you not use something that requires little skill to get a one shot kill? The fault here lies with leadership and the sandbox team. This group has let this mode get so bad it is driving people away.

No one asked bungie to nerf shotgun sliding but they did it anyway. So it should not be nerfed at all. If your a stasis hunter or titan, shotgun sliding should not be a problem for you whatsoever unless that player is just out of your league

It's not just shogun sliding, it's ALL weapon sliding isn't it? There's the pellet spread increase for shotguns, but also a 20% drop in stability and an huge increase in flinch! Well for me, it's the end of using Firmly Planted on my ARs and Dunemarchers as a strategy to counter hostiles. However, I have to find other ways to make things work. This will mean that others will do the same! Perhaps we'll see Hunters Stompee-jumping like fleas instead, with their Felweinter's in you face (as usual but this time from ABOVE) and HC users will slide to a location, STOP, and ADS to out-range scouts/ARs/Pulse rifles in the arena (too much cover within 30 metre lanes). The meta will not change IMO! Just the gameplay style will be adjusted accordingly IMO! Other ridiculous perks to movement will be adapted/exploited as well in the next season IMO. Please don't mistake me for being a pessimist, I'm very excited though to see how this pans out in S15 as it means another strategy for me to use [u]against [/u]the meta. I am hopeful that there will be a reduction in shotgunners ruining my day, however I really don't think it will make a real difference as the target within a 5-7 meter range is the size of a barn door...and if regular shotty users can't hit that then...use slugs instead? Instead of addressing lag/latency/server f**Ups, matchmaking, new maps and worst of all CHEATS (the numbers on console are GROWING) here we are, addressing a playstyle. But I'm afraid this [u]distraction [/u]to the PvP population doesn't address many ongoing larger issues. Cheers all!

This. This is who we’re catering the game to now. Nice!

A better idea is a small delay to shooting while sliding. It would make you time your shots better and make shotguns more of a skilled weapon and slugs need a nerf too they should be at max 10 meters.

Yes, let's ban someone for... Using an intentionally implimented game mechanic that's not bugged... That'll work. Yep. You have summoned me.

Stasis was a good counter, but they complained about it until it got nerfed

I think taking a ton more flinch for sliding is the best way to balance slide shotguns. Like it or hate it, the nerf to slide is perfectly fine.

You might wanna run spell check on this.
