Honestly I think they need a buff in PvP again also. Think about it, every weapon class can combat with them. Hand cannons, as we know, are already the gold tier weapon in PVP with weapons like TLW, Thorn, Hawkmoon, Red Hand, etc. So clearly AR's are not going to over power hand cannons. Pulse rifles are now beasts, weapons like 3LW, Coiled Hiss, and Bad JuJu are all great to use and can easily outmatch other legendary auto rifles, even pre-nerf. Pre-Nerf Suros would also have a counterpart, in Red Death. Scout Rifles won't put up too great of a fight against Auto Rifles, but that's just because they need to be at long range to be effective.
