Shotguns still need to change. Lately, people care too much about their stats, resulting in majority of players using shotguns to keep those stats up. A few concerned gamers in our clan have completely given up on playing the smaller maps of Crucible to avoid getting gunned down by a shotgun everytime they play a small map. Too many of you care too much about that K/D of yours. IT DOESN'T MATTER! K/D means NOTHING in the Crucible. I've been a steady 1.3 for the past few weeks on this new account (old one was 1.29 as An0nYm0u5JAMSK8 before account ban). I've out played others on the larger maps because the "shotgun spammers" can't get a clean kill with their long range one shotter.
Now don't get me wrong. I use shotguns, BUT as a last resort. Many of the clips in this video show a single player killing me a few times in maybe a couple games, all of which were shotgun kills. If shotguns are going to be used this way, then I think it's time Bungie made the shotgun a PRIMARY weapon. It's a primary in Call of Duty for OBVIOUS reasons. Shotguns are overpowered, and they LEFT them OP, but they made them a primary. It worked. So when you get those shotgunners running in on a match, that's their only weapon with a pistol to get their kills. It just balances gameplay, but majority of games I play always have those guys running around with shotguns, then use their primary if the shotty isn't capable of getting a mid to long range kill.
Watch the video, give it a like if you want, but the shotguns need another change.
What do you think? Should shotguns be primary and left where they're at? Let me know!

Dude... I would kill to have a shotgun or a sniper as a primary. That's disgustingly overpowered. I still run no land in trials sometimes just to run the shotty sniper combo. I'm at 295 with no land equipped, so it's not much of a light problem. If they made shottys a primary, they would have to make snipers a primary, and just leave fusion rifles and side arms as secondaries? The camping would be too real.
