>They should have just made it closer to the original shotgun, pretty decent range but also not too powerful
It's decent against zombie and imp crowds. Once you start going against numerous demons and anything beefier it starts to feel tedious because it's not powerful at all: It's the second gun you'll pick up, arguably second worst gun of classic Doom.
On the flip, the D3 shotgun has awful range but with much more "relevant" damage: Most of the enemies are dying in one or two shells.
