Okay we know they are going to be changing the damage on the Auto Rifle, Shotgun, and scout rifle. But now my question is when are they going to change the damage or range of the Fusion Rifles? Those weapons are also OP from short and mid range. I know that you have to charge it up but it's not really that long of a wait when you charge it.

technically they can't fix one without fixing the other. Fusion rifles get more efective the longer the range until they cap out, shotguns get less effective the farther they are fired. they can't fix one without fixing the other but they won't fix shotguns because they have already taken away some of the shotguns power without touching fusion rifles. even so most combat in crucible is either mid range where primary weapons dominate or touch end of short range combat which shotguns and melee are dominate that's why you don't see many fusion rifles in the crucible; when you do, if you look closely, they don't excel in close range combat because they charge too slow so if you miss you are done. so all the kills are in that half way through mid and half way through short range combat because that's it for fusion rifles.
