I think the problem right now is range damage drop is just to low and range doesn't really matter just in shotguns range should drop damage aggressively and that will create balance when any weapon is out of the intended rage damage should drop 15% and every 5 meter 5% more to a 30% cap.
Auto rifle
Buff 2.5 % base damage with the range drop damage will be just effective at close to medium range.
Thorn
Thorn dot should be a % of the first shot that will make it consistent to kill with 2 shot at medium and close but at long range you will need a 3 shot and if you star with a bodyshot well dot won't do mush damage.
The last word
With the rage nerf it going to be just a perfect close quarter weapon
Shotguns
Let's delete hammer force, range finder and shot packages perk and let people get really close to use it
Sniper
Delete final round perk or let everybody has it
Fusion rifles
Reverse fusion to original but make people committed to a shot after 50% charge

I just wish everything was balanced and nothing was op or up because immature children whined about it.

I would be interested in seeing how this would work. Would gladly test it if Bungie created a mod with these changes.
