My problem with this is it seems many people used autos because of their effectiveness, not because they enjoy using autos. That was a problem. I never liked auto rifles and despite pulse rifles being inferior they just fit my method of play. I was doomed from the get go in any battle but I didn't care because I prefer accuracy and bursting. This nerf was to level the weapons out. Ever wonder why so many people used Suros? It wasn't because they liked the gun. It was because it was OP. Apparently, due to the total buff, it was extremely OP. It only goes to show that the nerf was necessary and appropriate.
