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.

Seriously people are still salty about shotguns? XD they are a cqc weapon... If you get caught up close by a shotty then that's your fault for letting someone close enough.... I run shotguns myself because I like to be sorted at medium/long and short range for crucible.... I like to run around and use shotguns as they reward tactics... Sticking to close quarters of the map, patrolling areas... Using your radar etc.... Fusion rifles aren't bad either now... I await people bitching about them again soon.... Destiny's community and cods community both bitch about shotguns... I don't see why! End of the day it's a game!!! Have fun using your weapons that you choose to use!
