Why do auto rifles suck eggs now?

I swear, I haven't used them since October, but ever since I started playing this game again, (the last 3 weeks or so) I've noticed that they suck really bad. They suck in PvP and PvE. I wouldn't mind if they were at least good in one of the two... But they're trash in both. It feels like I'm shooting jelly beans at my enemies. It takes a whole clip to kill a single thrall.... Opinions on auto rifles? Should they be buffed? Should they be nerfed even further? Discuss below.

  • Suros... It all started with that. 2 nerfs to that gun and 2 more to ARs in general. All due to PvP players complaining about them. The last nerf was based on some percentage of usage among the player base. Bungie felt to many people were using them, so they nerfed them into the ground. This was to "encourage" us to use other weapon classes. Problem is now they are horrible and pointless, except for the very dedicated. So everyone moved onto Thorn and TLW. Telling you if they buffed ARs back you will see HC usage drop right away. I have so many quality ARs just collecting dust in my vault. Just no viable situation for them to use them in with better more effective choices.
