Design things I'm surprised weren't addressed in TTK (Destiny)

- Shotguns as one-hit kill machines. Honestly, I think if shotguns did as much damage as a sniper body shot, they'd be completely fine, and you could make their range much longer without breaking them. It would also carve a niche for fusion rifles as more than just "shotguns that need to charge up first." Personal preference here, but the balance of shotties still feels off from the rest of the weapons. Skilled players would still be able to pull off the shotgun + melee combo for nearly instant kills, but you wouldn't feel quite so cheated by someone who could do that.

Like this idea a lot. Give you some kind of chance for running away. Melee's actually become more important in the game because now there's no one instakill at point blank range. Wish Bungie would have thought of Shotguns this way.
