This is Utter Bollocks!!!!
Nerfed for a SIXTH TIME!!! And this time to oblivion!
I love how a Sniper Rifle, is adjusted to act like a real life Sniper Rifle, yet a shotgun has been turned into a Potato Gun!
Damage drop of from the range of a Melee attack! A FÜCKING MELEE ATTACK!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING!!!
A Shotgun is supposed to blow holes clean through people at around 15 - 20 feet! And now, well my Shotgun bullets won't kill you, but my follow up Melee attack will! What a pile of shit!!!
Movement speed decreased... So now I'm just a slow moving easy to hit Target that can be picked off by a sniper, because my ability to strafe quickly between environmental cover has been seriously hampered!
I have always mained a Shotgun, in any FPS I've ever played, not because I'm a scrub or a Noob, but because it's suits my run and gun style of play (and believe me, it wrecks my KD when I come up against a well organised team unless I'm on point), and now, you've absolutely ruined them, and why? Because dumb fücks can't get their heads around the physics that close quarters, a Shotgun will win hands down! And can't get to grips with the whole "Keep your distance" ethic, so they cry some more like little bitches until they're heard! Which for the 6th time they have!!!
This game is a fücking joke and purely caters for casuals! Tonight I'm buying Fallout 4!
Edit 1 - Thanks to all the Shotgun supporters and users for taking an honest interest in this thread, and thanks to those with common sense that stand by me against the Trolls, KD whores and Dreamers that call themselves "Skilled"

4 RepliesI've always found it odd, a 1 shot kill from close quarters when your opponent shows up on your radar is OP, but a one shot kill from across the map with no indication while your opponent is in cover.....totally legit.
-
5 RepliesOk I agreed with you 100% up until the edit. Honestly bro snipers are so much more skilled than shotgunners. I'm sorry but it's just the truth. Aim assist or not, it's much more difficult to land consistent headshots with a sniper than to use a shotty.

4 RepliesYou're a not a noob or a scrub for always mailing a shotgun? I beg to differ. Fusion Rifles are where it's at. Looking forwards to Plan C. Guess you're going to have to use a different special. I also bet you've mained a prox rocket/Truth since day 1 as well. Gitgud.

1 ReplyEdited by SPEEDxSlobbishT: 11/23/2015 10:51:44 AMYou know I do agree with you they are nerfing things to a point that is just to dumb I mean the shotguns need to be able to outgun a melee I think if anything it needs a buff I don't know why so many people asked for the nerf and this is coming from a main sniper.
-
1 ReplyAgreed. The days of shotguns are over. Fusions will reign supreme... (and have for some time)

3 RepliesI use shotguns and im glad for the nerf

1 Replytheybr probably talking about storm caller mellee range

1 ReplyThey should have just made them all like the chaperone. Problem solved. Two shot with decent range as opposed to one shot at no range? I know what I want.
-
4 RepliesAgree 100%. Shotguns aren't even a problem not, yet its complained against. The problem is non-existant Fusion Rifles
-
2 RepliesDon't give up man, plenty of kills still to be had. If you main a shotgun, I expect Invective will be little changed from what it is now; with its long range and tight pellet grouping you should be fine.
-
5 RepliesThank you. That's exactly how I feel about shotguns. Since my gameplay isn't based on camping, I use shotguns in times of need when in close quarters so no (not all the time). Shotguns aren't OP, they don't require skills but neither do assisted-aim-sniper-riffle. It takes more risks for shotgunners to get into the battlefield and directly face the ennemy than campy snipers sipping on their drinks across the map. So why can't we keep that one shot kill?
-
3 RepliesIf you still want to main a shotgun use invective, It'll be a little bit changed but it will still be effective
-
1 ReplyMaybe they mean warlock melee? That shit is OP.
-
Where are all the really crappy PvP players disappearing to? I feel like everyone I battle with now just takes my own gun out of my hands and shoves it into my poop hole. Everyone had gotten really good and it makes me cry. I'm proud of yall, but it just hurts my anus so much.

2 RepliesI always knew they'd nerf them into melee weapons.

2 RepliesSalty much?

1 ReplyToo bad this is a video game, Bungie could care less about how shotguns are supposed to work, Bungie is brain dead
-
3 RepliesSorry I stopped reading after " Utter Bollocks". You win sir. I Tip my hat to you and say good day.

2 RepliesSnipers are a one shot kill anywhere from the legs up in real life , what's your point ?
-
8 RepliesWhen shotgunners pretend to know what aim assist is
-
7 RepliesHaha hehe lolol enjoy your ps2 quality game "fallout" lol

1 ReplyAnyone who honestly thinks this nerf isn't completely overboard is just spiteful of being killed by shotties. Bungie is beating a dead horse at this point, shotguns were so close to being perfectly balanced only a final tweak would have done it, and they completely blow the bottom out. Although I'm by no means a shotgun enthusiast, I agree that this nerf is completely ridiculous.
-
14 RepliesFirst off, you shoulda bought fallout last week. It's great. Second, if you believe the nerf is wrong, what would you do? How would you adjust all special weapons so they are all used evenly? Currently, 8/10 ppl use shotguns and the others use snipers. Hardly anyone uses FR's and sidearms. Shottys are to good right now, that's why they're nerfing them.
-
1 ReplyI for one enjoy all 3 secondary's, but as someone who is not exactly particular to those of you who run around crucible using your shotgun as your primary, unloading full clips at medium range because you forgot you had a primary, and sometimes even killing me at that range (conspiracy theory), this upcoming shotgun nerf is absolutely ridiculous!
