They introduced damage fall-off to autos in order for them to not be as effective at long range. However, even at its "intended" range, they are not doing good damage against an enemy. They are doing "normal" damage. For example, Monte Carlo, its crits do 20 dmg in its optimal range. The problem is because of damage fall-off, Monte Carlo is barely ever doing 20 dmg against an enemy. Its is doing 19, 18, 17, which is even worse than when they initially nerfed autos to the ground in the HoW expansion. Low RoF autos suffer the most from dmg fall-off. For example, the Grim Citizan III, max crit dmg is 26. But because of dmg fall-off, its barely ever doing full dmg. It is doing 25, 24, 23, and because its a low RoF auto, It TTK suffers the most. Now the solution i think will bring autos back into a more competitive state is to increase its Crit. Multiplier up from 1.25 to 1.34. This will help them out with dmg in their optimal range and still be shooting out decent dmg outside their intended range if you have a good aim. The Monte Carlo archetype will do about ~21.5 dmg. Once dmg fall-off takes in effect, it will do 21, 20, 19. The Grim Citizen archetype will do about ~28 dmg. Once dmg fall-off takes in effect, it will do 27, 26, 25. With the crit dmg buff to autos, it will help them be more effective at its intended range, but still be effective if you have a good aim and land headshots on enemies outside its intended ranges. I hope this post gets enough attention because i love autos and i want them to be effective again. Let me know what you guys think!
