I suppose it's not so much that everything "sucks" and more that it's all worse with no significant changes to balance (apart from mid impact pulse rifles which needed that buff). Hand Cannon and Auto Rifle range was fine in vanilla, Scouts still beat them on the two long maps, and being able to hit things reliably at medium range kept shotguns in check. The special ammo nerf would have sorted the fusion rifle problem without the need to neuter them. Still haven't tried Hawkmoon as I'm on Xbox. Bad Juju is pretty much the same but it kicks more and is only really "good" because everything else was brought down to its level.
