10% don't use AR's because in previous games similar to destiny (halo) they were the mark of an inexperienced crappy player. You should keep them how they are because it's not fair to have cross map AR's rendering scout and pulse rifles pointless when they are supposed to be distance weapons.

Meanwhile in close range a scout rifle or pulse rifle is more powerful than an auto rifle. Auto rifles dont even have a place anymore, especially considering how good hand cannons are at close range.

The problem isn't range, it's TTK. Most pulse rifles have a .7 TTK where as Auto rifles are sitting around a 1.10 TKK. You can triple body shot someone with a pulse rifle and kill them just as fast as if they landed every single shot on your head. Close/Medium range is still dominated by Handcannons/Shotguns, Autorifles have no room to play.
