I love scout rifles, but the concensus of this forum is that: 1) maps are too small 2) hand cannons do everything scout rifles do, but better 3) they require perfect rolls to be break into "not useless category" We can't fix maps. We can ask for hand cannon nerds, which there is at least one "please nerf hand cannon" thread every 7ish posts on this forums. We can buff scout rifles, which isn't really called for much because (summarizing forums again) Nerfing hand cannons would be more appriciated by the player base, as would be buffing auto rifles. In my opinion: there is only one exotic scout rifle, which makes it [i]tied for the least amount of exotics in its class[/i], which only competes with the [i]7 week old sidearms.[/i] And they haven't rebalanced weapons in 137 days, and the expansion doesn't drop for another 64. They don't care, and they [i]won't[/i] care.
