As I did with my pulse rifle post, I'll be giving my view on the state of auto rifles.
High RoF- Perfect place.
Mid RoF- decent place.
Low RoF- Awful place.
Change nothing about High RoF. The mid RoF autos need to excel at mid range. Buff the base range by an extra 15%, and give them better recoil direction. Buff damage by 3%. The low RoF autos suck. They have no purpose. They should be high risk/high reward. Buff the recoil direction to mimic counterbalance on all low RoF autos. Buff mag size to minimum 28, maximum 36. Buff range by 15% Give them an 18% damage buff, but a 2% RoF nerf, and a 7% stability nerf. This should alleviate some issues with the class.

High rate of fire seem like they are really difficult to control and often aren't as rewarding. Mid tier are doing better, the hard light could be one of the best exotics out there without the screen shake Low, just plain awful, even worse with focus fire
