I agree with most of your post, you've definitely put a lot of thought into it and really like your I out. I actually think the autos range is about where it needs to be now, it's definitely more noticeable dmg cap off than where it was. Besides, with most autos it's hard to control that high of a rate of fire at a long distance anyway. With SUROS though, I think they got the range perfect now with that too (dmg needs a substantial buff though). It's a weapon that is really a hybrid between an auto and scout and it's ability to have almost the best of both worlds is really why it's an "exotic". The range nerf for it in 1.1.1 was necessary, and I'll have to agree that it definitely needs a huge dmg buff now. But I think a further range nerf would be a little overboard. Thanks for chiming in!
