Were Fusion Rifles supposed to be this way with the Patch?

With the new Patch, Fusion Rifles received a nerf reducing there shot spread to make it so killing people from a little farther than medium range wouldn't be possible. Fusion Rifles are supposed to be a Medium-ish range type of weapon but with this patch I feel like Fusion Rifles are only good for REALLY close range... I have two Fusion Rifles that I love, one being "Praetorian Foil" and the other being "The Trolley Problem". Both of them are Low charge rate, High Impact and decent range types of Fusion Rifles. Usually these type of Fusion Rifles have a pretty nice Range but with the cost of a Low charge rate. With the Patch, both of my Fusion Rifles suck at even a Low-Medium range, there only able to get a kill within a little more than Shotgun Range. Why is this? This makes it so the Lower charge rate Fusion Rifles don't really have a chance at certain gun fights. If there's an enemy like a rooms length away, I'm only able to hit my enemy with two of the five (let's say five) Bolts that are fired from my Fusion Rifle. But if my opponent is closer to me where I can at least kill him/her, I usually get a Shotgun straight to my face. This is bothering me in a way because I love the Low charge rate types but I'm pretty much not able to do anything anymore with them because almost every time my opponent is out of range or there a bit too close so I can't charge it up in time. Most of you reading this will think I'm trying to kill someone at incredibly long ranges but I'm not. Imagine your playing on Blind Watch, you spawned at C Flag and you rush up the hole in the roof that brings you up onto that roof overlooking A Flag. As soon as up get up there, imagine there's a guy that just climbed up from there side and is ready to attack you. You charge up your Fusion Rifle and fire at the enemy. In that distance you would expect to at least hit the guy with 4 out of 5 Bolts, but you hit him with 2 instead. He survives then kills you... It may also seem like I'm a 100% Fusion Rifle user and that I use them all the time so this post is just me whining blah blah blah, but I'm not. I use Sniper Rifles thank you very much and I really only use Fusion Rifles if I ever get board of my Sniper (rarely). Anyway, what do you guys think? I know most of your Shotgun lovers are gonna comment stuff like "IT'S GOOD THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE FUSION RIFLES ARE SO OP" so if you are one of those people please just go somewhere else. As for the people that care, let me know how you feel about Fusion Rifles now and if there's something that's also worth mentioning.
