I knew that shotguns were always dominant, but man the number you gave us on TWID is actually concering. You made it look fair by combining two weapons into one number to make it look fair, but that's just absurd.
even before meter system shotgun had 46% of kills, while fusion and snipe had 43%. which means that both had 30% - 10% or 20% - 20% each. that's already the double difference.
and after the meter shotguns had more then 76%, while sniper and fusion had 18%.
that means that each weapon didn't even had 10%. That's not about skill difference or anything, it's about weapon balance.
Please, just buff the other specials to be more reliable and consistent so that it can be valid options beside shotguns.

The instant snipers even match shotgun kills, the entire forum swaps to “snipers are zero skill bullshit weapons that you only have to aim in the general direction of a person to kill!” until the next balance patch brings them down. Same for fusions. I’ve been here since vanilla D1, I’ve seen this cycle happen over and over again for as long as destiny has existed. I’ve come to the conclusion destiny players will hate the game no matter what. In the words of some random dude, “destiny players are the most dedicated haters in gaming.”
