With all the posts about nerfing handcannons and buffing auto rifles, I have been thinking as to why not increasing the guardians health? It's about 200 now so the original non-nerfed suros that could do damage in the 40s and 50s and kill guardians within 4-5 headshots and thorn can two shot people now. So why not increase our health and buff auto rifles to original status? All the weapons and abilities would need small buffs to comply with the increased health except maybe handcannons but I think its a good idea instead of more nerfs. What do you guys think? Maybe 250 health points?

I voted no just because of how much work that would take to balance everything out. If you just buffed weapon damages across the board, you're back to where you started. If you don't, HCs with small clip size are no longer viable. Current two-shot sniper rifles might suddenly require three shots. Machine guns lose more ground to rockets. Grenades and melee attacks suddenly need to be rebalanced. And so on. Far easier to identify a weapon group (ARs) and specific guns (exotic HCs) that need minor tweaking.
