A straight up one v one against pulse rifles fails more times than not. Why pigeon hole us into using one class of weapon? Pulse rifles rule all at this point and it's boring, the nerf to AR's and HC's probably went too far. My go to weapon in the crucible has to be either Hawksaw or Red Death but it's pretty mundane, would be nice to pick up another weapon and not suffer too much as a result.
Tried a selection of AR's over the last week or so and I'd say my K/D has been on average around 1.5-2 where as using PR's easily around 2.5-3. I've used almost every class of weapon in the Crucible pre and post nerf. Some nerfs go way too far imo. If a nerf is required, tweak it slightly and test don't obliterate it....

ARs don't have no chance against PRs if not up close.. Just increase stability of ARs and it could be useful.

Edited by IMR4NXYZ: 11/18/2015 11:33:00 PMI don't know, I mean I get that in general ARs are still not really all that competitive but things like the suros regime are back to being pretty beastly. I'm a complete joke at PvP but give me the suros and I can get upto a kd of 3.0 no sweat when I'm usually flat lining around 0.5 That is one of the inherent problems of needing or buffing classes. The top tier of their class just dominates. Look at the bloody red death, things damn near unstoppable in a straight up fair 1v1. Story was the same pre 2.0 with the thorn/tlw/hawkmoon.

While I agree with the buff, most people seem to neglect how hard it is to balance a multiplayer shooter. If one thing is even slightly better than anything else, it's all anyone will use. If they are all able to do the same thing, it's boring due to a lack of specialization

It needs a slight range increase, and Pulse rifles need a damage drop off as well

Lol someone else that doesn't get it

So everyone wants yr2 thorn Zhalo to be BUFFED?
-
They are still poop
-
They don't have to be buffed entirely, just raise the critical hit percentage from 1.25 to 1.5. Maybe decrease overall damage a little to compensate the buff. How does that sound!?

I wouldn't turn down a buff to auto rifles (I think it should be mag size and impact) since that's what I use a lot but I can't say that they are underpowered if you're in their wheelhouse. It's a lot trickier to do though considering you have pulse, scout, and sniper rifles closing down any approach on these fairly open maps.

You got the wrong game, bud.
