I can't stand this ongoing issue! I'm still getting 1 shot at too long of a range with the Felwinter's, Madator, Party Crasher, Conspiracy Theory, etc with the Rangefinder perk.
These specific shotguns need to have their max kill ranges pulled back, or else this isn't going to get better. I still struggle to use my primary as much as I would like to because the range is encouraging people to get in close enough to pull off a semi-ranged shot, and will go to extremes to do so.
Guess I'm dusting off my Felwinter's again until this gets fixed.
EDIT: I'm perceiving the current kill range to be around 10ft, and I am proposing the kill range be about 8ft instead, so if you think my measurements are inaccurate then use the ratio I'm implying. Somewhere between Found Verdict and Invective's kill range would be a great balance.
EDIT: Pizza and chill suggests that PVP shotgun range should be increased significantly, and it's impact be reduced so it takes more than 1 shot to kill. This makes sense since a body shot from any sniper doesn't kill a player due to shields, so I just had to share his innovative solution.
UPDATE: I removed Shot Package as a problematic perk because it's being removed from old and new shotguns with it equipped in the next patch.

9 RisposteDoesn't need a nerf at all. If anything they just need to get rid of the perk rangefinder. They also just altogether need to stop nerfing and buffing weapons it's seriously annoying. Shotguns a problem? Make special ammo less abundant. Or instead look at other games and take notes from them! Shotguns shouldn't be nerfed again because then we will be looking at effective ranges of the sawed off from gears of war 3 with the damage and spread of a gnasher. Basically that means they won't be effective and viable options for cqc. In reality shotguns do have pretty far range. Keep the range they have now (I say) and just barely increase hc range like a smidge if anything so they aren't the same range as shotguns. (I can't say much on that because I've only used hawkmoon a couple of times when it came out) Pulse rifles seem just fine auto rifles got some of the love they needed. There needs to be slightly bigger maps for snipers because some of the scopes they give snipers give you the ability to see the enemies nose hairs. Nerfing them any more just won't be fair to shotguns themselves and would easily be outclassed by the now mediocre fusion rifles.

1 RispondiQuit complaining and play the frickin game
-
11 RisposteNo they don't

1 RispondiWell te main problem with shotguns in pvp is that level advantages are disable so all the year one shotguns with super high range still exist and are effective. Wait for iron banner an you'll see a lot less shotgunners.

5 RisposteA shotgun is a shot gun it's not meant to tickle u at close range. If u love running into closed spaces or hitting corners with out looking, not checking ur radar u will get punished for it. I put my shotgun down and started sniping and my game has actually improved. Take it to the long range and shotguns can't touch u

1 RispondiThe pve nerf hit really hard.

5 RisposteYou guys won't be happy till you can piss farther than a shotgun shoots. Seriously ridiculous. Go shoot some real shotguns.

-
5 RisposteYeah they really do some of my kills are ridiculous

Over 800 replies! Thank you all; both for and against, I appreciate your feedback, and I look forward to more. Please be kind here, this is my opinion, I'm not whinning, and I am a person who dislikes being disrespected just as much as anyone else. I've reported too many people, while talking it through with them, but I don't like it.

1 RispondiModificato da Pro: 9/29/2015 1:58:20 AMYup not sure why the reward for the nightfall was a fel winters lie 2.0

5 RisposteNobody complains about shotguns on big maps. Why? Because they were intended for CQC. The majority of multiplayer maps on Destiny are catered to CQC, which is why Shotguns are rampant. Address the real issues instead of suggesting bandaid fixes. Larger maps. That's the answer. So start asking for the right things.

12 RisposteYear 1 shotguns need to be killed off permanently in the crucible. Or at least in Year 2 playlists. Simple as that.
-
3 RisposteWarlock melee has way to much range.
-
10 RisposteSucks to suck
-
7 RisposteNot really; it's a spread blast. You'll take a shit ton of damage instantly if you're caught within it's blast from close to medium range. A good precision hit is an instant K.O. Not to mention the auto fire on some shotguns lol. Shotguns are a high risk, high reward type of gun. It's always going to be better to stay far away from the enemy to attack, than to going in close for the kill; you'll eventually, if not surely get jumped. I see no flaw in them at all.

1 RispondiStop crying! And if they're so op use one. Oh you can't get kills with it? That's because all guns take practice to get good with. Change your play style or just accept the fact you're not good at pvp. Stop being a scrub and a whiney baby and don't play pvp if you're not good at it.

7 RisposteAnd fusions have a greater range, and snipers have even greater range...

Thank you all for 1,000 comments on this post! Still waiting on Bungie to comment here specifically, but I'm hoping they still read it.
