Okay, so they've hit shotguns with the nerf hammer, and I can say that I used shotguns quite often before the nerf. They weren't hit too hard though now they're basically just melees with extended range. I wonder if Bungie realizes that some shotguns now lose to moves like Stormfist. Anyway, this is about Fusion Rifles. Fusion rifles are from what I've experienced in my many games of Crucible, very overpowered. They can hold up to 20+ shots, reload quickly, and be precharged to score instant kills as soon as you expose yourself to the enemy. They have better range, better power, and don't even require aiming for a lethal area to win with. I've been shot across a pretty large distance with a fusion rifle and had no chance of surviving it. I've seen my teammates score 2 for 1s with them, and we've gone against a team of Fusion Rifle only users in Skirmish. I'm not bad at Destiny by any means, but I have no idea how you're supposed to beat a gun that lines up a kill before you're in harm's way. They have just as much range as an auto rifle with the power of a shotgun (per energy bolt). If they only had say... 3 of 4 shot mags this wouldn't be a big deal. However, there are some with up to 6. I wouldn't say that Fusion rifles need to be nerfed hard, but it should at least require landing half of the energy bolts on a target before you net the kill. There is no real situation where a fast charging fusion rifle is a bad choice. They can charge and shoot faster than a double melee, they're steady enough to use accurately while jumping or falling, and they're even good to use when cutting corners or peeking over cover. As a user of Scout Rifles I'm used to trying for my kills and it's only fair that others have to try for theirs. EDIT- evidently you can't use apostrophes in polls.
