I see what you both are saying, and I often leave fights scratching my head. But the Fusion provides a play style that the other specials don't; a mid-range game that can be slow and methodical or fast paced, depending on the opponent. Sure, snipers are a guaranteed way to immediately eliminate a threat or dangerously lower health, and some talented folks have been able to run and gun with them, but they also require a player to 'stop playing' for the time that you're ADS which, for the less-than-great, this can be quite detrimental. And with shotguns, the best way to run these weapons is fast and in close quarters which almost requires a heightened level of danger.
Fusions can be the best of both worlds; not asking a player to be on the front lines, as well as (potentially) providing the kind of lethal power that snipers do. And, for the record, my 4 Lighthouse visits since the update have been with my fusion rifle exclusively
P.S. For the curious
Yea it's all preference for sure.
I've learned that I can get close enough to tee off on a fusion rifle user as long as I don't get the full blast which can be accomplished by not jumping straight toward the user but more at an angle. Yes I'm gonna be pretty hurt but it's all good.
