Misconception of bloom is that people will be mapping you if removed. This is not true. If you cannot hit someone far away with bloom now, you will not be hitting them any easier if bloom goes away. Removing bloom will increase accuracy but not range. Damage fall off is pretty severe for cannons. If you really want to balance weapons, then add bloom to high RoF weapons like clever dragon (lol it's a joke) The high rof archetypes and hand cannons were meant to compete. But with bloom that competition becomes lopsided because high RoF weapons only need to stay on target. Cannons need to hit three shots on target with breaks in between. If one gets bloomed, then it's 4 shots. All the while you are taking damage. If bloom gets removed however Hand cannons will be monsters in mid and close range. My personal opinion though is that hand cannons are in a good place. It's the other weapons that aren't. They are either doing too well or too badly for their respective utility.
