So here I was thinking about how the new ammo economy will alleviate the terror of the shotgun rusher and after much thought I realize that it is not going to get better it is just going to get worse.
Bungie just shifted the focus of what will be the terror of the crucible from range finder to an even greater evil and foe, people surely due to the 25% ads speed penalty on Rangefinder will abandon that perk and now embrace one that will in conjunction with the new ammo changes give the shotgunner an even longer OHK range.
The new godroll becomes Agg balls, Rifled Barrel and Final Round.
So a shotty rusher gets killed, he spawns and gets to the ammo box and picks up ammo, he now reloads only one bullet and bam you have 33% more damage than you normally have on your shotty to map people from farther than pre patch matador.
Sadly the only group of players this ammo change will affect will be fusion rifle users, other players have a way around the new ammo economy that will let them play like the changes never happened.
Oh well I guess it may turn out to be same old same old in the crucible now with final round matadors ruling the crucible with the iron fist.

I wouldn't have even thought of this but thanks for letting us know! Have to try it out!
