So I agree with most of the changes that are happening this week, ya trip mines now suck and viking funeral didn't need THAT much of a Nerf but bungie overlooked shotguns... again.
A simple change is all the community wants and that's the complete elimination of rangefinder or a significant Nerf to range that would be the same as the removal of rangefinder. Shotguns should kill at most from 3-5 bodies length away yet instead they kill upwords of 9-10. Shotguns alternatively are no good without range finder as people don't want to take that extra step or two to get to the 3-5 body length range, leaving party crasher as the only usable shotgun because it has to have rangefinder to compete.
Also has no one still looked at why shoulder charge is a one shot infinite use ability. Backstabbing was fixed to be fair but at minimum shoulder charge should should take all shield and max 1/2 health as well. Or alternatively have a cool down for use on an internal timer.
These are just thoughts on how to improve crucible mainly. I like the patch a great deal but find some fault that real problems with balance are being ignored and have been for some time now. Auto rifle Nerf great, sniper Nerf back a while ago great, no shotgun nerf? Past that keep up the good work bungie!

There seems to be a high correlation between negative kd and nerf posts. I wonder why that is.
-
You must be a year 2 player then because shotguns got nerfed 3 times lol
-
Shotguns are in a good place, they have already had 3 nerfs on them and you want to get them nerfed again. How about un scope from your sniper and you will see them coming or and this is a big one......git gud.
-
You want them to shoot backwards of something?
-
You're retarded tbh
-
You left out snipers. "Obnoxious and overused". Bungies words not mine.😉
-
Shotguns were nerfed 3 times in a row. Snipers were barely touched. However everything that competes with a sniper has been castrated. What fukng game are you even playing?
-
You know nothing Jon Snow.
-
No just no
-
Please shut the hell up
-
There bringing back shot package so they can get rid of range finder
-
Wow. Really! Sorry but I don't agree with any of that!

Edited by ThisMahSwamp: 6/14/2016 3:26:23 PMShotguns are fine. It seem any time some competition is thrown at the guys standing in the back of the room scoping for heads, they lose their mind and run like a chicken with their head cut off. The only solution in their mind is that whatever is killing them in such a fashion needs to be nerfed.....When the reality is, you can counter this any number of ways.

Shotguns are the most balanced atm.

[quote]A simple change is all the community wants and that's the complete elimination of rangefinder or a significant Nerf to range that would be the same as the removal of rangefinder.[/quote] Pretty sure all the community do not want this. Shotguns are fine as they are. In real life, shotguns can kill you from much further away than in Destiny. There's absolutely no way in hell that shotguns kill you from 9-10 body lengths away. Are you sure you're not confusing them with rockets? If we nerf shotguns anymore we might as well turn them into melee weapons. [quote]Also has no one still looked at why shoulder charge is a one shot infinite use ability[/quote] I was wondering why this thread had zero upvotes and now I know. Shoulder charge can be countered by smart players. If you're hard scoping or not paying attention in general then you're toast. Back stabbing was not fixed to be fair, it was fixed to be not broken. That's why it was labelled as front stab.

Op is a real fgt and muted

Really a nerf shotgun thread, is your head up your ass for the warmth. They have been nerfed into almost nothing and you want another nerf. Honestly your an idiot.
-
Really? The shotgun nerf that everyone one wants... No mate. Shotguns have been nerfed twice. They don't need it again. They could add more flinch to sniper thou.
-
You know what needs a nerf (being serious) fusion rifles.
-
Because two shotguns are viable, you want to nerf all of them. My comedian one shots if my target is closer than 4 meters. Beyond that I barely do damage.
-
Shotguns are inconsistent and barely have any range anymore, and you want a nerf ?
-
Lol a camping sniper got killed by a shotgunner so they cry nerf use your primary shotguns have to close the gap that leaves them wide open they arnt op people just dont know how to xounter and stp trying to make the game more of a campfest
-
Yeah, because they only nerfed them four times previously.
-
I've certainly never been killed by someone from across the map with a shot gun . If your getting killed by someone using them you've let them get too close . I don't see what the problem is ?.
-
Wtf stfu you have to be legit point blank range to kill, if you let a shotgun come that close to you that's your fault, we already lost shot package and the only good shotgun is a party crasher now
-
You are fn nuts. We are in the sniper meta. Shotguns have shit range, yet snipers can one hit kill in all ranges, only gun in the game that can. Nerf snipers a few times first. The whole game is already built around them. They nerfed high rate of fire AU's, which takes another counter away. You don't even need to aim a longbow to get kills. Plenty of crap to fix before nerfing shotguns for a 4th/5th time.
