The Doctrine is too good for a legendary. The ease of use is just insane. It's usage in trials has blown passed TLW, and probably going to surpass MIDA this week as well.
The combination of stability RoF and magazine size is too good for a legendary and can't be countered reliably by anything, especially when a team of three all has them.
It's turning into the new Thorn, and the only thing needed to prevent that is simply removing either persistence or braced frame.

I'm glad to say that bungie is doing what I believed they wouldn't, and buffed other autos instead. The damage nerf to high rof autod will be altogether irrelevant, and autos will be in a really great place, while preserving the integrity of the DoP. Hopefully Suros will be able to to outgun DoP now, and overtake it as the most versatile. All said and done, they made good adjustments.

Just counterbalance maybe. It's good even without it
