Are the Auto Rifles extinct?
So I was rummaging through my vault the other day and came across an old friend: my trusty old Vanquisher IV.
I dusted it off and decided to carry it into the Crucible, just for old time's sake. I expected it to be an uphill fight, but I actually did alright with it. By maintaining a close ranged stream of headshots, I was able to do pretty well.
However, I did not see any other ARs in there. I normally run with Bad Juju, and while I did well enough with the Vanquisher, I certainly noticed a longer time to kill with the AR.
Anyway, I am wondering are there any guardians that still carry and rely on an AR as a standard piece of their arsenal? Or has the AR nerf made them (at least for the time being) extinct?

I still use my For the People in Crucible. I compliment it with the Pocket Infinity. I use the Pocket for close range and FTP for medium. As long as you are landing headshots it is still viable, but you can get easily outgunned by other weapon classes even if you shoot first. I wish they would help the AR's, but I doubt they will. In the end I'm just most comfortable using them despite the damage reduction. I've adjusted my style of play a little, and I do okay post nerf.
