It's a bad nerf, it's an unneeded nerf, period. Potential problems? Get real. Lets not pretend they actually play test anything, the players do that. This was one dude in a cheeky, online friendly environment, nowhere near a pub, that happened to notice something after his player character bit the dust. Your assessment is not critical thinking, it's speculation. You have nothing to support whether it will be easier to shut down, or harder. The logical guess is easier based on the sound reasoning that this particular individual was more than likely using a nerfed shotgun at the time. And heaven forbid we actually let supers be super. Someone might die in a video game or something.
