They need to be buffed. They are a joke in pve.

Their range is right where it ought to be, but I really do feel the headshot multiplier needs to go back to 1.5, as well as an impact boost to the higher RoF ARs as they are utter trash now. Right now it's basically nothing but hand cannons and pulse rifles in Crucible, save for the odd crazy person brave enough to use a scout rifle or auto rifle. Speaking of, I don't think SRs need any more buffs but hand cannons could definitely stand to be nerfed again - more recoil and less range. I'm am avid user but honestly I'm sick of thorn being used like a machine gun and being fragged at extreme ranges in 2-3 shots when that's supposed to be the SR's role.
