Titan striker lvl 28 here...dude im a tank charging at you full speed with a shotgun in my hand...guess what!? The closer I get, more lethal my shotgun will be + shoulder charge...im just saying, I get killed a lot in crucible by shotguns, fusion rifles, auto rifles etc, but if you miss a few shots and I get the chance to get closer to you (which happens a lot), spraying bullets everywhere wont be effective as a point blank blast from a shotgun. It all depends on you play styles and strategie, going in a close quarters with a auto rifle against a shotgun, your odds will change. Going to a wide an open map with a good range auto rifle, sniper rifle or scout...you'll put guardians down before they see you! Shotguns works just fine, like it's supposed to. It's like saying sniper rifles is Op because you get one bullet in the brains X/
