We all know it. I don't care if you dont use shotguns in crucible, or if you do use them. There's no denying it. Crucible has become a "Shotgun Slide Fest" and we all know it. If you're not running some type of shotgun, specifically non-precision shotguns, you might as well throw in the towel when the entire enemy team uses nothing but shotguns. It has reached the point where a player who is even slightly proficient in shotgun sliding, doesn't even have to pull out their primary or heavy weapons, or even use their Super to get kills and win games.
We've all experienced it, on both sides. Getting insta killed by a pre-fire shotgun slide from around a corner. Or rushing a titan behind their barricade only to be obliterated. Or watching a Titan or Warlock skate around the map getting insane amounts of shotgun kills with little to no opposition. THIS. HAS. TO. STOP. I think we can all agree that the new weapons system, with the introduction of "Special ammo", is great. Being able to use a sniper more often, or even a shotgun is awesome in PVE, but in the PVP arena, it is out of control.
There are a few ways to fix this and I honestly don't care which one as long as this issue IS ACTUALLY FIXED. But my opinion is that all shotguns that aren't precision slug types (examples of precision slug types being: "good bone structure" or "the chaperone") should require heavy ammo to be used in crucible. This doesn't have to apply to PVE. PVE is great where it is. But shotguns that don't require the type of aim that precision slugs do, shouldn't be able to be used constantly like they currently are. Snipers are fine because you actually have to aim to use them efficiently, but shotgun sliding actually lowers the skill bar and raises the imbalance.
If you agree with these sentiments, or have a similar opinion that involves fixing the shotgun issue within the crucible, please Comment with an "I agree" or "Yes please fix this". I know there are plenty of people who would rather have shotguns as they are, but if they actually, objectively, and logically view the status of crucible, they cannot come to any other conclusion than shotguns are currently OP. Please thoughtfully, seriously consider this and leave a response.
