Fellow Crucible-ers!
While sifting through the forums, I notice that there is a clear and decisive separation in the community when it comes to the topic of shotguns in the crucible. One side of the argument is calling for a nerf while the other is calling those people bad players who cannot play around them properly.
However, when you actually look at the profiles of the different members of each side of the spectrum, you will notice a common trend: the players calling for a nerf will have significantly higher scores per game and K/D's than the players saying that the shotgun is balanced.
Better players = more valid opinions, am I wrong in saying this? I'd like to hear some community thoughts.

I've used a shotgun and died plenty of times.

You are wrong in your opinion although me saying that is also just an opinion. Some people have better hand eye coordination than others, or have more experience playing FPS games than others. The game should allow people of all skill levels the opportunity to be competitive otherwise you alienate a very very large group of players. Realize that the game is part of a business and in order for the skilled players to have a game to play, the unskilled players need to also purchase the game. Otherwise the company wouldn't make any money and there wouldn't be any game. So yes you could make all the changes skilled players want but the game would just offline and nobody would be able to play. The casual gamer pays the bills so in reality you should thank them.

4 RepliesI personally like your thought process that better players have more credible opinions on the matter. I'll offer my opinion though, not on whether the shotgun is balanced or not, but on the fact that it worked exactly the same way in the beta and any balancing issues would've been corrected already if Bungie thought it was a problem.

#Ironystrikesagain Anyone who dominates a match but cries things are unbalanced brighten my day I laugh so hard at the pity they're trying to give me. The fact that they are the better players does not mean they are the end all authority. The only reason to call for a Nerf is because you think a weapon needs to be toned down because you're having trouble countering it. Good players who have high domination scores clearly aren't having trouble countering it. So why are they trying to advocate for people like myself who are struggling? I don't need their pity. I need to punch them in the face so I can get my enforce medal and stop their killstreaks. If anything their call for a nerf show a poor judgement ability and they should not be trusted with decisions on what is or isn't good.

Truly good players should not be having an issue with a certain weapon.
