and if its so easily countered why would developers consider removing it from the game out of sheer player frustration? come on man you are defeating your own argument now

Nah, I just know people like to whine cause they know Bungie has a soft spot for whiners and that's easier to do then learning how to counter something. Seriously, super easy to counter especially if you've got experience using it which is another problem- people have 100 different combinations to play their guy but use 1 or 2 cause they're lazy or it makes them uncomfortable.

i have little problem with it but here and there it is exploited and uncounterable... lets just call a spade a spade.. its overpowered whiners dont get things changed developers do

I will give you this, using it with something like Felwinters is -blam!-ed up. But I think fixing the shotty snipe will temper blink.
