It sounds like it is. The best shotguns were the problem. So every single special got nerfed... Yet the nerf also hits the worse specials the worst. Would you want to use pocket infinity now? Just wondering...
I haven't tried yet, but all these nerfs combined:
Only 3-5 crates per map.
25% per use, 2 minute respawn.
Takes 4 crate uses, 8 minutes for full special ammo using 1 crate.
EDIT: Special ammo crates now have a 100m drop radius ( so basically the whole map)
If your teammate takes the crate, you have 20 seconds to pick up the drop or it will despawn (120s resp inc)

I played a little crucible last night and for the forest time in a long time, I was killed more by primary weapons than by the special weapons, shotguns in particular. They were still there, I even used mine once when someone got too close, but it wasn't every other death. This is a much needed change.
