Shotgun Nerf

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!

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.
