I said this on other threads, the top tier player it won't affect at all. Up close TLW will still wreck people, and the good players tend to close fast and get their kills at CQ. Thorn we shall see, I still think it will be good, if Scouts become a bit better we shall see some rocking the Mida no doubt. AR's getting buffed is a good thing, they were utterly horrible after the nerf, again the good player will just out strafe people like in vanilla Destiny. Like you said good players will be good players no matter the weapon nerfs, in fact the average player will suffer more as the weapons are less of a crutch now, and in theory gunskill should be more rewarding. I can look forward to being on farm status more! haha
