Why are people excited about auto rifles being buffed?
The title says it all. Why is this community getting hyped up about being able to use auto rifles again?. ARs are easy to use and can and will be spammed from any range. They said they are nerfing range and increasing recoil but only to a small degree so that may or may not help, but I'm worried that people will continue to abuse suros like a scout rifle like they did before.
Edit: This isn't a post complaining about autos, it is primarily an open question to the community on why they want autos buffed, and also part my opinion on it.
Edit 2: People keep saying "clearly you didn't play in the beginning or you would know..." let me clarify this, I have play since the beta and played crucible when suros and other ARs were king.

Because that will make 1/4 of the primary weapons in the game useful again.
-
Because Auto Rifles have been nearly useless since before HoW. No reason to use them when they're all pea shooters compared to pulse rifles.
-
Because i wanna dust off my silimar's wrath and shadow price.

2 RepliesWell I'm no scrub although if you play with a weapon well people call you this scrub and that scrub... I've always been an auto rifle fan in all games not just destiny, I did play with Suros for a bit but I really miss my for the people and my up for anything :/ can't wait to pick them back up and see if there still good. But from the sound of it I think your going to see more hard lights being spammed than Suros.
-
Because in most if not all fps games a fully automatic rifle is the standard. Not some silly hand cannon!
-
Because weapon variety viability. I should never find a weapon and say " aww.. An auto rifle.." That means they are failing in weapon balance IMO. But I think they are aware of that.
-
I will still play with the hand cannons But I will try with auto rifles also I play for fun
-
Did you not see the range nerf?

What Bungie are TRYING (it may take more than patch 2.0) to do is make it so that each weapon type performs well in specific circumstance but also fails to perform in other areas. They will be buffing Auto Rifles slightly so we will seem them used more often and they're also trying to address the three major problems in PVP right now. Exotic hand cannons (Hawkmoon less so) being OP and far too effective at range, shotguns that can kill from 30 feet away and blink shotgun users.

Cause suros regime
-
Balance, every time I use an auto in crucible I'm at a disadvantage. They just aren't intimidating like they should be
-
Still gonna suck...
-
Because ARs haven't been relevant in pvp for what? 6-9 months? Plus, Monte Carlo looks sexy!

8 RepliesEdited by J smalls: 9/5/2015 11:39:38 PMIt's hard to say, the reign of Suros Regime after xur sold it was rough, but on the other hand the current reign of Exotic handcannons is completely ridiculous. I forget how many headshots it took for a Suros to kill you but I can guarantee it was more than two. And I have faith that Auto rifles won't be completely returned to their dominance. It's all about those Time to Kill ratios... And the auto rifles never compared to the current hand cannons ttks. What they really need to do is take off the massive aim assists they have on all these guns. But that's what happens when casuals pay the bills >.<

Three words. Damage drop-off

7 RepliesThey weren't even nearly as big a problem as the hand cannons are. During the Suros times, when you used some other primary, you were at a slight disadvantage, and that was only if you weren't good with that weapon. In this thorn meta, if you're not using an exotic hand cannon, you'll be brutally laughed at for handicapping yourself so much

1 ReplyWhy do people think the Suros will be OP again? I'm auto rifles are getting damage buff but range nerf so they will just be more effective than they are right now but at the right range; mid to close range. It's to balance out different gun types. Each class will be best for different play styles. The way it should be.
-
1 ReplyWell in the current meta whoever gets the first shot wins the fight. Skill doesn't factor as much with this current meta. With auto rifles it's a different story, if your gun skill is better than your opponents then even if they get first shot, you still have a good chance of winning that gun fight.
-
2 RepliesBecause its another alternative in the Primary slot. We have been somewhat forced to use Hand Cannons for the past 7 months now.
-
It'll be a nice change, there won't be as many hand cannons. Adds variety
-
Because they took it way too far in nerfing auto-rifles. As of now, they're useless.
-
I can finally whip out my Vanquisher VIII once again.
-
The Iron Suros will return.
