I personally feel that slow rate of fire auto rifles need a [b]SLIGHT[/b] base damage buff. They simply cannot compete with scout rifles, hand cannons, or pulse rifles. They're to popular and statistics are way better, making auto rifles very, very outplayed. The usage of auto rifles are [b]VERY LOW, [/b]and I would like to see all guns equal in PvP. Feel free to [b]LEAVE A LIKE [/b]on this post, I would love to see what the majority of the community thinks :D. I really want Bungie to do a little something to auto rifles so they are viable. [b]NOT TALKING ABOUT HIGH FIRE RATE AUTO RIFLES[/b]. We all know about the "Doctrine Of Passing".

Edited by Samantha: 7/24/2016 7:46:10 PMI brought a year 1 Her Right Hand into Crucible the other day as I was working on finishing the crucible questline for MoT and it was the best auto that I still had. (I run solely on scouts nowadays for both PvE and PvP) It wasn't awful. Had a couple bad games but I was actually picking up a couple kill-streaks with it. Could its archetype use a buff? Sure. I was getting a little outmatched by the normal crucible god-weapons. But it wasn't awful and I was able to get the step done very quickly for a guy who hadn't picked up an auto in months.

I agree
-
Low RoF ones do
-
Sure. Just don't buff the doctrine archetype. It's still ridiculous
-
Year 1 is dead gone and never coming back it's time to move on.
-
I agree. Something like a 1 or 2 damage buff for the low RoF autos. Maybe a slight range buff for the medium autos also
-
Slow and medium need a slight buff do to much and they become too op this needs to be done on slow fire rate pulse rifles as well
-
Low RoF auto rifles need some range added in I think

Edited by High Charity: 7/24/2016 4:05:20 PM"Usage of Autos is low" >Kill % of Auto Rifles, according to Guardian.gg, is at least the second highest among primaries pretty consistently. Now, if you wanted to specify what archetype you meant, that would be the smart move.
-
I don't think all auto rifles need a buff but more like a certain tier? Because the doctrine and other low impact high fire rate autos are more than good at their subjected ranges.
-
Yes, when doing Shax bounties it's always a grind to get the 10 auto kills. Even the 10 hand cannon are easier!

By the way, I'm not including the "Doctrine of Passing" That gun was broken. I just mean slow fire rate auto rifles. The "Doctrine of Passing" still melts people to this day, and I personally do not want to see that thing any more viable than it already is.
