Edit - guess who's back bishes. Check out the best example of why shotguns equal skill https://youtu.be/yAj-oPrST5M
It's not easy to blink shotgun and go on killstreaks when you're constantly surrounded by the enemy. Also when you get one shotted from max distance the person is ads and pointing it at your head. It's a fair reward.
Most of the people who bitch about it would not do that well. The felwinter is a beast but it's rate of fire is very low so getting multi kills isn't easy. In Iron Banner I'd say it's not even the best shotgun. Other shotguns with the same hammer forged shot package combo can be more effective.
The point being, git gud scrubs
Let me see you use the agility of blink to quickly take out big groups of enemies coming from all angles at once. It takes skill. Not every shotgun guy just blindly runs round corners hip firing hoping for the best. You're just salty
Edit : I made a voidwalker. This is just as 'OP' as blade dancer but no one seems to complain? Watch the video as I collect many tears from all the other classes trying to super me.

For the scrubs accusing me of editing out deaths to make myself look good here is a game I played last night on shores of time.
This is one of the longer ranged maps on Iron Banner but I still rekt with secret handshake. Full game. https://youtu.be/npgM3DvF22Q
Basically if anyone wants to come and laugh at a mass congregation of people whose shit has severely been packed in by a shotgun come here to this thread lmfao

17 RisposteShotguns don't need skill. They're just a way to prevent losing a melee fight. They are working, that's why every casual uses them. It's the same as using a Super or i.e. the Suros before the patch = An easy to use weapon to have a slight chance of getting cheap kills without a real gunfight. Problem is, there is way too much special ammo. Sliding and Blinking makes this flaw even worse.

3 RisposteLol. No they don't... also, OP is fgt.
-
"Shotguns take skill" *inserts video that contradicts himself*
-
2 RisposteNo #satire :(
-
2 RisposteDid I miss the skill part? Can you point it out to me? I don't want to watch the 7 min video again.

Not sure if OP serious or just likes licking doorknobs...
-
Keep practicing
-
Guys, OP is obviously joking. My two year old niece can use shotguns on this game and it's laughable "competitive" multiplayer.

4 RisposteI love using shotguns in every game that has them, they're a lot of fun. They don't take skill though regardless of how you try to spin it, all it takes is good map knowledge and putting yourself in a position were they're effective. That's why Blink is so frowned upon, because it puts you in the good position without having to close gaps while vulnerable. Thus negating the downside of a shotgun, which is effective range. This games PvP is a massively unbalanced pile of crap though, so why people think it should even be fair is beyond me. I thought the whole point is to have stupidly overpowered stuff?

My Felwinter's Lie has full auto mode lol

2 RisposteShotguns aren't the problem, blink is.
-
2 RisposteBut felwinters lie is not a shotgun. It's a sniper, duh.
-
1 RispondiBlink is a god send if you don't want to die from shotguns when you see that red block out side the door just blink past em and there spinning around while you put me down with you primary or ur own shotgun
-
2 RisposteIf you use fusion rifles or camp with snipers, you don't have the right to complain about any other weapons.
-
+1000 internets.
-
Shut up as a shotgun person I can tell blink shotgun takes no skill
-
1 RispondiDon't complain about shotgun style players just blink backwards and headshot the mother-blam!-ers with ur op weapon aka last word the shit rocks
-
3 RisposteMy Red Death loves shotgun users.
-
1 RispondiI couldn't even get through a minute of your video.
-
2 RisposteJust started my bd Hunter, don't have blink yet but from what I hear, even from top players is that it's hard to learn. Hopefully I can learn something from these videos.
-
1 RispondiSecret Handshake is the best shotgun currently.
-
I hate shotguns, simply because I have a hard time using them and they always seem to do good when other are using them :P
-
You see more shotgun primaries than you did back when Suros was good.
-
Lol blink shotgun......
-
Shotguns aren't the problem here. Small maps are the problem. Bungie needs to make bigger maps so stuff like this isn't much of an issue like it is now. They also need to control the amount of special ammo carried.
