Shotguns got nerfed, all good here, but nothing seems to be changed at all at least on console [i](my personal experience is on PS4, dunno how it is on Xbox or PC).[/i]
Yesterday and on Tuesday I played few matches in Crucible [i](IR Freelance and Quickplay)[/i] and basically I had the impression that nothing was changed at all when it's about Shotguns. [b]I'm not saying the nerf didn't work (Shotguns range has been decreased, cone angle increased), just that I had the impression that the nerf didn't change anything.[/b]
Killfeed was still full of Shotguns kills all the time. People were still running-slinding all around the Maps with Astral Horizon, Fellwinter's Lie and Riiswalker no problem. When I was not Sniping, my 1v1 were mostly me jumping back against some sliding/jumping Shotgun ape with my SMG/Messanger hoping to not die in one shot.
I don't know, I had just few matches. Maybe in the next days things are going to change, Shotguns presence will decrease, I can't tell. But for now, after the update it really seemed that nothing was changed at all in the Crucible for me.
P.S: Dear Bungie, when you got time, maybe you could also focus on Special Grenade Launchers please? Thanks.

They can nerf shotguns to a half meter and they will still be meta in this game.
