No... just no.
Gets your facts straight before posting garbage.
AR`s were 100% nerfed because of their overuse in PVE. This is a fact friend, the truth hurts.
Look it up.

Actually, they were overused in both, but it wasn't because they were OP. They just had a familiarity to previous FPS players. This made them used more often in a (mostly) balanced game. Then came the nerfs...

So, going by that logic, if they nerf handcannons now, it will be because of overuse in PvE. Because they are the most used weapons. It will have nothing to do with the fact that the exotic variants are very powerful in PvP. Just like the auto rifles were. P.S. those statistics Bungie released about weapon usage before the nerf didn't reflect endgame players. Nearly everyone who bought this game used autos, because in pretty much every fps game, automatic weapons are the easiest to use. Same with destiny. The people who just bought destiny to try it used autos because that's what they were used to.

I'm not here to explain the logic... It was dumb. Auto's were in a good place before the nerf. I'm just saying PVE players have to stop blaming crucible weapon balance for Auto's being terrible right now. Crucible balance had little to do with it. Plain and simple.

Mate, SUROS was king before the nerf. It was the most used weapon. It was basically where Thorn is now. Be honest with yourself, it was crucible which caused the nerf. I've nothing against crucible players, I pretty much split my playtime 50/50 between PvE and PvP but pretty much every nerf has been the cause of PvP. But, they did make pulse rifles a load of fun so there's a bonus.

Are you aware that Auto's have nerfed twice? The first time was - like the current Thorn- because there was no point to use anything else. They out ranged scouts and pulse rifles, and had very good stability with good perks, and very low TTK's. They got balanced to a point where they functioned exactly as expected. Everyone was happy, and no one complained about AR's. They then got nerfed again due to their crazy overuse in this game. Mostly due to their overuse in PVE. This happened. Sorry pal. Look it up. This nerf rendered them useless. Ipso/facto, crucible balance made the weapon perfectly balanced. And then the PVE only crowd caused Bungie to ruin this weapon type for everyone. The PVE crowd then proceeds to blame crucible balance. This is not opinion, this is not conjecture, these are the facts.
