Playing Destiny pvp really makes one realize the power of the good old fashioned shotguns. I had never really invested in one before then I got invective and started using it in pvp then I realized everyone uses shotguns all the time
Hunters jump around like jumping jelly beans flinging pellets in every direction. Titans, fool hardy, charge at their enemies hoping for the one-for-one-post-mortem-shotgun-soiree. Warlocks float along the nearest air current pinging out shots at anything bellow them.
This silly play style is something a most everyone seems to be adopting, some are better than others, but is detrimental to the competitive games integrity. (Also, the excessively op exotic hand cannons), I don't mind shotguns in the game but pvp gets quite boring the same way all the time. when you die not necessarily because of lack of skill (not claiming that have any) but simply the weapon you happen to have is incapable of killing the opponent as quickly as their weapon kills you which is firebird the disadvantages of the weapon is balenced!
Solutions:
how am I supposed to know? That's not my job but if it's yours or you have any solutions let them know! BUNGIE that is!

It's very uncommon for me to use shotguns. But when I do I don't always rush. My play style is involved defensive(non-camping) with handcannons and sniper rifles. What I mean with defensive is no rushing. Seriously if I rush to an enemy I'm getting shotgunned, so I always keep a distance about at least 10 meters, this usually helps me get the shotgunner before they shredder me. I sometimes change the pace of sniper rifles and switch to a shotgun. Or sometimes use NLB and a fusion(I have overpowered fusions). All I look for is fun. And they serve me for it well.
