Fusion rifles. Why is the most unique gun type in destiny as well as every other fps out there also the weakest and least used. You'd think Bungie would want this gun to succeed. Well it turns out that constant nerfs prove otherwise. The reason shotguns got out of control was because fusion rifles were nerfed so hard there was nothing to counter them. We're shotguns this widely used before they were nerfed? Probably not. IMO I don't want shotguns to get a nerf. I want fusion rifles to get a buff. In the update notes, it sounds like shotguns are going to have less range than a T-rex can reach. Shotguns are fine. They're only dominating pvp because nothing can counter them. Sure, fusion rifles can be used to some success but only can get one shot kills at the tail end of felwinter's/matador/party crasher range. The answer is simple; increase the range of fusion rifles or decrease the spread of the projectiles. This will make fusion rifles a strong contender in pvp without messing around with shotguns. Another way to "nerf" shotguns without messing with any of the stats is have better map design. This could be done by adding multiple levels on maps so there can be height advantages or making the maps larger or have less corridors for the maps. For pve, increase the damage, it's simply too low and can't compete with well aimed sniper shots or devastating shotgun rounds. I don't want to do your job for you Bungie and I know you are listening. Put a stop to the nerf train and use the creative balancing ideas from the community.
