Auto Rifle Balance
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.

Edited by JungleofTaxemes: 9/28/2016 11:28:57 AMAuto rifles do less relative damage on a headshot compared to a bodyshot than all other primaries: 1.25x instead of 1.5x. They did this as part of the nerf-into-the-ground auto nerf as a reaction to SUROS. They need to undo this. This makes autos actually deadly again, letting them bring HC accuracy back. https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/50ntcf/state_of_auto_rifles_reintroduce_the_15_critical/?ref=search_posts As long as ARs don't reward headshots, they can't be balanced properly.
