After the patch 1.1.1 auto rifles were nerfed considerably both in both pvp and pve which to me wasn't really called for, i know there are still some people who still have some success with auto rifles in there current state but they're not as appealing as they use to be. I know it's just my opinion but it was mostly hand cannons that dominated the game. I'm not saying that hand cannons need to be nerfed, I just believe auto rifles should have been left alone. I'm sure my newly buffed red death or my trials of Osiris pulse rifle "the messenger" can now compete with auto rifles in there pre-patch state. If auto rifles were buffed again I think we would have the closest thing to balance on this game that we've ever had, it seems like every time there's an update something gets buffed and another class of guns go into the ground. It would feel satisfying to receive a legendary or exotic auto rifle because they were fun to use but now they take way too long to kill and now they're just sitting in my vault collecting dust just as a testament to just how overboard auto rifles were nerfed for both pvp and pve, they're are now new reforgable auto rifles out there that I would like to use but are easily outclassed by any other weapon class which is taking away from the game as a whole. I know this is all just my opinion but I hope the crew destiny hears my light and make changes to auto rifle making them viable options in pvp or pve
