Not true... (Destiny)

The issue, as I stated in one of my other posts, is that if I take my Felwinter's Lie and go toe-to-toe with another guardian using their own Felwinter's Lie, and they kill me, I have no way to know if I got out played or if they just have better perks. I'm defending a capture point. I see an enemy on radar. I know they're coming. I switch to my shotgun. They charge face-first into me. We both pull the trigger at the same time. I hit them full-on, center mass. I die, they don't. I had superior positioning, anticipated their move, prepared accordingly, and lost because they happened to have more range on their shotgun than I do... even though we're using the same shotgun. In a competitive game, that situation is 100% BS... and it happens all the time.

This never, ever happens to me, and there's an easy way to make sure it doesn't happen to you - use a better shotgun. I already have the best shotgun roll, so I know if the other guy beats me it's skill or luck. There's never a time where I'm left wondering if it's the roll or not.

That's what I would do, if it were possible. With the rearrangement of perks in House of Wolves, it is no longer possible to roll a shotgun with the same combo of devastating perks that you could get a few months ago. So I'm stuck competing with players who have better weapons, with no way to match what they have.

Just last week I got a Matador with Smart Drift, Shot Package, Rifled Barrel, and Battle Runner, straight-outta-the-box. It also has Aggressive Ballistics, but the SD and RB max out the range, so I don't need to sacrifice Stability,
I prefer Range Finder to Shot Package, and not everyone loves Battle Runner as much as I do (an extra perk slot to get something good!), so while it's not my PS4 Felwinter, it is still ridiculously overpowered. It's a top-tier gun post-nerfs, and has been besting Felwinters left and right, so yeah you can still make some great Shotguns without needing a million rolls.
