The Crucible is overrun with Pulse Rifles, Handcannons, and Shotguns. The majority of AR's are trash, up to the point where they don't even contend with the top five weapons in Crucible. We should see Bungie buff the impact & stability of all AR base stats by 2 - 3%. Range can stay low where it's at. What are your thoughts?
Edit: the current issue is when I engage in an advantageous one-on-one gunfight, built for me to win and lose simply because my weapon is underwhelming. This lets us know that these weapons are terribly imbalanced. Granted I'm not the strongest of players but I understand tact & game flow.

They need a buff to be usable in any form, I like my Abyss Defiant and Up for Anything but don't use them because of the nerf.
-
Agreed, the shotgun noobs are the ones that got them nerfed, so let them pay the price of their noobish savagery
-
Also, when HoW drops, don't make all the vanguard and crucible ARs bullet hoses. Have some low rof, high impact too.
-
indeed. I main AR's & have always "struggled" in Crucible. now I'm just fodder.
-
In an upcoming update- "we noticed that after the recent auto nerf, virtually no one is using auto rifles. This is not how we intended the game to be played therefore we will be nerfing everything down to be even with autos."
-
I'd say give back half of the impact that AR's previously had. Seems fair.
-
I remember when SUROS was a great gun. R.I.P SUROS
-
My Suros still tears through people like you wouldn't believe, even at a range.
-
i've done the thorn bounty twice used AE was ok, killed and got killed no problems doing a third one now and AE is a pea shooter as an earlier post said when they buffed pulse rifles they should have left ARs then there would be more viable options, i like to use different weapons but if something is underpowered why would you use it, befor every one used ARs because PRs were weak now everyone uses PRs because ARs weak, where is the sense in that?
-
I loved my For the People.....gathering dust.
-
-
I'd use the suros if I got it, I love AR's more than anything and suros seems to be the best pick out of the bunch
-
Nothing should ever be nerfed.If a class is underpowered, that class should be buffed to match opposing classes,this makes the game more even. Buffing one class and nerfing another is counter productive.
-
Auto Rifles should get buffed again- Just not the Suros.
-
Bumpitty
-
I'm for a buff for ARs.
-
If they nerfed Auto Rifles because "they were the most used", then I'm [i]sure[/i] the Crucible community wouldn't mind if their Last Words were to be nerfed...
-
Suros especially needs a buff. This weapon has gone through 3 nerfs... It is no longer deserving of the exotic title. Nothing special about it anymore.
-
I think they should go for the AR = PR approach instead of having them in a different niche.
-
At this point it is pretty much a waist of time to use an auto rifle... your just slowly tickling your foe to death.. In my opinion, Auto Rifles and Pulse Rifles should do the same damage per shot, the diffrences should be in the accuracy with sustained fire. Pulse= short muzzle climb that is easy to readjust Full auto= a much more dramatic muzzle climb with sustained fire, meaning you have to put more effort into keeping on target. Same damage out put, diffrences in delivery.
-
The problem is as soon as they buff them again all the PVPers will cry nerf.
-
Rebuff auto rifles to how they were and keep pulse rifles how they are now
-
funny when polls like this are made you can tell exactly how many crying bitches wanted suros nerfed lol. They are most definitely in the minority.

Edited by Felonblade: 3/26/2015 2:00:50 PMi HATE how they nerf based on popularity, not performance.... EDIT: guess w/ the dwindling player base they wont have much left to nerf. been playing BL2 again FTW

Edited by Hagalaz-27: 3/26/2015 2:12:34 PMAuto rifles [b][i][u]are[/u][/i][/b] trash, but even I think they should have some or all of their damage restored. Range fall-off is right about where it needs to be, though, if not a little shorter. Edit: disclaimer: yeah, I hate auto rifles. But I still think players should be able to choose a weapon type that fits their style of play, within reason (like knowing which club is correct for a specific situation when playing golf, or using the correct type of shotgun round for deer vs for birds...).

At least for PvE...my SUROS shoots marshmallows now :(
