[quote]So, understandably Bungie nerfed Auto Rifles as the statistics proved they were the most over-used weapons in almost every activity. Now that they've castrated and killed Auto Rifles completley and buffed Pulse Rifles to top-tier and Hand Cannons to the most over-used genre of weapon, they might as well restore ARs to their former glory to compete with the newly buffed and overused Hand Cannons. If they re-buff ARs, will you not use Thorn anymore? TLW: 2 Hipfire = Kill. Thorn: 2 Headshot = Kill. Red Death: 2 Headshot = Kill. Scout Rifle: 3 Headshot = Kill. ( G-Demise ) Auto Rifles cannot compete with any of these weapons at close range. If two players that were both pros shot at eachother with perfect aim from the same distance, all of the weapons I just mentioned would clearly win. Unless you get the first shot, no. The first 3-10 shots in, you will lose any gunfight with an Auto Rifle against a skilled player. If you agree, select the "Yes" If you don't, select the "No" and give me a valid reason on why they should not be buffed. First Edit: Do any of you veteran players still have your Shadow Price? I remember how well I used to do with it. I would love to use it in the upcoming House of Wolves DLC and not have it completely suck. Second Edit: @2 Puss- I mean People who selected the second option, thank you for complying to add a half-decent argument with your post as well! Have a splendid day sucking on your Thorns and Red Deaths like some retarded animals. This does not mean I am complaining about Red Death and Thorn, rather insulting them for most likely not wanting an Auto Rifle nerf because they're scared about it being finally balanced. Current Top Tier Primarys: Red Death / Bad JuJu ( 2hk Thorn / The Last Word / (Hawk for PSN) ( 2hk Mida Multi-Tool / Vesta Dynasty possibly / Fate of all Fools possibly ( 4hk/3hk w/ Great FR & Range As I have already said, [i]Suros Regime, Hard Light and Necrochasm are probably the most underwhelming exotics this game has ever had as of the Auto Rifle nerf.[/i] Edit 3: Overwhelming votes towards re-buffing Auto Rifles, glad to see reasoning in the forums. Edit 4: Ay for reaching 339, in memorial of the biggest Destiny disappointment, ( Necrogasm ) - I had to make this edit. My Necrogasm would be proud. One day you will pop all the heads off my enemies in the Crucible.. ONE DAY.. Edit 5: Shout out to [b]Doctor[/b] Dope[b]Nope[/b], [b]Shadow Price[/b], [b]Hex Caster ARC [/b]and [b]Grim Citizen III[/b]! Looking forward to a buff releasing along with House of Wolves to make me hyped to use those beastly guns!
