Do YOU enjoy playing the Crucible alone? (Destiny)

One slight disagreement. Most guns, other than shotguns or fusion rifles, are much less effective at short range. Scouts, pluses, even some ARs are better at mid-long range than close range. Hand cannons are now short-mid range, but short range isn't usually likely as that's shotgun (and sometimes fusion) range. Even hand cannons are often slow enough that shotguns win because so many classes can close so quickly. Maybe I'm jsut doing it wrong but I think once in close, shotguns have a clear advantage. It's crossing the mid-range that's the hard part. If they can do that then they can usually win a player who isn't ready to actively counter a shotgun.
