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.

Edited by PedalOnTheRight: 3/26/2015 1:27:10 PMI just started using AR's before the de-buff, had brand new Suros, Hardlight, Vanquisher, Up For Anything, and a couple others I was starting to try out - normally use scout/HC All getting dusty after the buff - went from being an ok choice even for players like me that prefer single shot type primaries to almost useless unless you were really good with AR's already. Some can still make it work, now it's not worth the effort to try and get to that level - my hardlight used to be able to mow down packs of enemies, now it seems to tickle a few of them to death and then I'm stuck mopping up the rest CQC style. Speaking of AR's - A simple buff isn't going to fix that bad (insert long string of unflattering comments here) joke of a raid exotic known as Nechrochasm
