In the preparation for TTK, Bungie partially resolved the crucible meta problem by nerfing thorn and last word. Good changes, indeed.
Yet, the meta still exists in an even worse form: shotguns. No, they shouldn't be removed or banned from any game modes. Instead, place simple restrictions such as no sliding and reduced/ no sprinting while a shotgun is held. Alternatively, these changes could only be applied to high-impact shotguns.
Well then, what would be the effects of these changes?
[b]Pros:[/b] No more slide shotgunning in crucible and shotgunning is now completely reliant on timing. Now that shotguns can no longer be abused, more secondaries become relevant and weapon loadout diversity ensues. Sliding is not a major part of PvE activities, so this change would go mostly unnoticed there.
[b]Cons:[/b] Shotgun spammers would have a harder time in crucible. May impact some negatively in faster paced end-game PvE activities.
Please leave feedback in comments. Maybe this'll become a thing.

The only shotguns that are a pain are the ones we've been seeing.... felwinters, party crasher, and matador.... all others shotguns are somewhat right but not those.... I mean they didn't even think about nerfing specifically felwinters knowing it's ridiculous range compared to other shotguns
