Let's talk PvP Weapon Balance (Destiny)

The problem here is that your argument is that you have out maneuvered them, but you are still using a primary in shotgun range. Which means no, you didn't. It is an option not to engage the target. Or to wait for hem to get a little farther away or to backpedal as you engage. Your example is an example of blundering into a combat situation you are not positioned for.

By design you are supposed to have time to react to being engaged, unless it is by overwhelming force. And you should lost to a special weapon when you are within their optimum effective range band.

I'm totally for making special weapons more skill based, but for a shotgun it's all movement and positioning. And if turning around is all it takes to have the upper hand...
