Do auto rifles need a Buff?(VOTE)
I personally feel that slow rate of fire auto rifles need a [b]SLIGHT[/b] base damage buff. They simply cannot compete with scout rifles, hand cannons, or pulse rifles. They're to popular and statistics are way better, making auto rifles very, very outplayed. The usage of auto rifles are [b]VERY LOW, [/b]and I would like to see all guns equal in PvP. Feel free to [b]LEAVE A LIKE [/b]on this post, I would love to see what the majority of the community thinks :D. I really want Bungie to do a little something to auto rifles so they are viable. [b]NOT TALKING ABOUT HIGH FIRE RATE AUTO RIFLES[/b]. We all know about the "Doctrine Of Passing".

2 RepliesI voted for balanced, mainly because a 'buff' or 'nerf' isn't what I think they need.High RoF's are in a great place, they support aggressive assault-style play action. The 88-8's are in an interesting place. I feel like they are generally more of a support weapon, meant to be used to back up or reinforce friendly fire, the exception being if they have a range perk. Add Send It or Rifled Barrel and they become more capable of standing alone; last IB, I only ran Monte Carlo, got high score on my third game, and averaged about a 1.6 -2.0 K/D. High impact auto's can be competitive, but it take good positioning and careful choice of engagements to succeed. I have done really well with a 93 stability Shadow Price before, and I have done terribly with it too: the difference is a minute change in how and when I chose to begin an engagement. All in all, I think they are competitive now, with the faster fire rate being in the best place. I also used to think they were no-skill guns, until I used one in IB. I came to realize the skill is in knowing the capabilities of your gun and being able to read the engagement. Aiming is a factor, but it's not insane. But if you don't know how to determine when it's a good idea to commit (and all auto rifle engagements are a commitment to a life or death fight), you will get pasted over and over again. I think the mid and low fire rate varieties probably need a tiny bump up, but I also think they could stay the same and be fine as well.
