With the recent patch, pulse rifles have received the boost that they have needed to be competitive in the crucible, but I've noticed that they might be a bit overdone. I've now chosen to use my Bad Juju over the Suros just because the Bad Juju does more damage and was far more accurate. Maybe the 2.5% base damage decrease was a little unnecessary for the auto rifles?

I agree with the auto rifle nerf being a mistake. They're my least-used weapon now, easily. The pulse rifle boost, however, was definitely needed, and I agree with wholeheartedly.
