It's a common misconception that all we auto rifle users do is aim and hold the trigger, but there's a bit more to it. I favor a Silimar's Wrath with Focus Fire, a perk that slows down the rate of fire while ADS for a slight increase in impact. Now, the slower rof and higher impact make ranged combat more feasible, so long as I keep myself ADS and keep my shots on target, but the second a target gets close, the slower rate of fire becomes a liability. I've got to switch to hipfire, which isn't easy if you're trying to pin down a rushing Titan or a blinking Hunter/Warlock. I also find that just spraying wildly at range is just a waste of bullets. I'll either harass distant foes with sharp bursts, or even single shots, just to pressure them and disrupt their sniper fire/ cover my team. Just like handcannons were misused by less skilled players, the same can be said for Autos now. Every weapon takes skill to use efficiently, but it's true that auto rifles are more forgiving than most handcannons.
