I feel assault rifles really suffered from this patch. It sucks to work hard for an exotic for it to only become worthless. (Hard Light)
The only reason assault rifles were used so much in iron banner was because of that bounty that required assault rifle kills ( We were told to use them.....) and WHOLE teams used them.With 6 people blasting at you with ANY weapons you are going to die.

I couldn't agree more with this. Most people used them because it is the most user-friendly weapon, even for those whose aim isn't that great. Now they are nerfed to the point that they aren't even really a viable option in comparison to the other primary weapon classes, with the possible exception of Suros, but even Suros is sub-par as a primary exotic now. Auto rifles are the new pulse rifle. More players using a weapon type does not equate to it being overpowered. A lot of people just liked the feel of auto rifles. Unfortunately they are now useless because of this. Bungie: "Oh, you all like how auto rifles feel and handle even though they are already underpowered? Well, we don't want you using them anymore, so we're going to make them completely useless!" Hahahahaha
