You're wrong. The original "killer" was suros. You couldn't find a single match anywhere that almost an entire team wasn't using it. Hand cannons weren't even an after thought. You might see a Hawkmoon here and there, but HC's were nowhere near as prevalent as they are now. With the nerfing of auto rifles due to so called "popularity" they were destroyed in pvp [b]and[/b] pve. Even fusion rifles were destroyed.
