Shotguns Continue To Ruin the Crucible (Video)
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!

4 RepliesWe were doing Kings Fall Hard Mode. We, being level 310's, blew through the raid. We were in a time crunch. Only 2 hours to complete it and XxboyXxkillaXxx had wasted 45 minutes on the jumping puzzle. We blew through Warpriest and Gogoroth. 30 minutes. Once again XxboyXxkillaXxx refused to switch from blink and wasted 20 minutes on the second jumping puzzle. We destroy the sisters in 5 minutes, the 6 of us pumping into Oyrx's Daughters. We have 20 minutes to kill Oyrx. We wipe twice, both times because of XxboyXxkillaXxx refusing to kill the ogres, claiming he is a pacifist. 10 minutes left. We do considerable damage to Oyrx in the first 3 rounds considering XxboyXxkillaXxx jumped off the side in the beginning shouting random Bill Nye quotes. Fourth round. I grab the relic easily. One guy dies by jumping into the ship. Another from the Vessel. 3 people left. We stagger Oyrx, but they don't make it to the blights. It is just me. I do barely just enough damage to Oyrx to bring him to the front. I accidentally reload my ToM, and run out of bullets killing an Aycolyte. I don't have time to use a primary synth. I put my last 3 sniper shots into Oyrx but it isn't enough. I can't use my sword. I am doomed. Oyrx chuckles. Ready to end my life. BUT WHAT IS THIS?! IN THE BOTTOM CORNER OF THE SCREEN! *Shesmynerd has joined the fireteam*. I see him rise above Oyrx. Cast in a veil of light. "Feel my wrath! For my name is Shesmyne... HE SHOT ME THROUGH A WALL!" *Guardian Down" Crap. Oyrx chuckles again. Tbaggs Shesmynerd and messages him, "Git gud skrub". BUT WHAT IS THIS! HOPE! *Smoggypluto has joined the fireteam* I hear the thud of a Sunbreaker super being used. He appears in a silhouette of light. The light slowly dies away and I see him. Smoggypluto. "I am not worthy", I cry. He looks at Oyrx. He opens his mouth but Morgan Freeman's voice comes out. "This is my swamp". He lifts up his Y10 Gjallihorn and kills Oyrx in one shot, while simultaneously Tbagging Shesmynerd's ghost. We all get our rewards. All 330 Light, except for XxboyXxkillaXxx, he gets shards. I didn't see mine. I sniffle and ask Smoggy what I got. "Check you're inventory." I completely missed Smoggy's misspelling of "your". I inspect myself and ghasp. Primary equiped: Y2 Thorn. Pre nerf. Chestpiece: Twilight Garrison. Secondary: Better Than Yours, exotic sniper. Heavy. I choke back tears. I must be strong for Smoggy. His Y10 Gjallahorn. Signed by Bill Nye, the Science guy. "Smoggy is love. Smoggy is life." I stammer. He hops on Xylar, The Timeless. "Black Ops 3 is going to kill Destiny", XxboyXxkillaXxx remarks. "Shut up Meg", Smoggy says. He winks at me and flies away to help others in need. "Smoggy is love. Smoggy is life." I repeat. The sound of Shesmynerd crying faintly in the background.
