TLW is pretty beardy after the buffs to HC but that's more a weapon problem than a weapon type problem.
MIDA being so good is actually a reflex to snipers being used a lot IMO, a good player can take out snipers with a MIDA, although against a better player your chances aren't so great.
The level of special kills in general is pretty worrying. They need to do something about that. Maybe lower the amount of special ammo each crate gives in Trials/IB so that you need to play more tactically to take and deny the special ammo, with more aggressive placement of the ammo spawns. Getting two sniper bullets a box would promote better accuracy and also prevent res sniping to an extent with people being more limited in the ammo they'll be carrying. Similar should apply to shotguns and they could leave fusions/sidearms with more ammo to encourage different weapon use. It would also be cool if you could grenade weapon boxes to destroy them. But that's a separate idea.
If anything they just need to remove the ability to rez snipe from all snipers to make all sniper rifles more competitive against 1KS, which realistically is a great raid weapon (when you can't use spindle) and also a great PvP choice due to the rez sniping. This means people infuse them right up as their sniper, rather than having to make choices about what they'll have as high as possible.
I run the IB sniper because it's a much funner weapon, even it takes three body shots against high armour targets, but it's head shots only JUST do enough damage to kill someone and not through overshields.
Exotic primaries being the go to really just makes sense though... that should be your most used weapon and best killing potential (even though specials tend to be the highest realistically). A legendary secondary dominating to such an extent suggests that it's too far in front of other legendary options.

[quote]prevent res sniping to an extent[/quote]This is a whole new problem though, why should someone with quick-res be able to bring up his teammate, and then I have to fight 1v2 (who have overshields) with only a primary weapon because I didn't have the ammo to res snipe, even if I was good enough to pull off the shot? I literally wouldn't be able to win that fight, no-one would unless the other team couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Take the overshield off of the dead guy and reverse the invincibility frames back to how they were in Y1 and I would be all for this, but if the overshields and invincibility frames are staying? No way.

Or they can rebuff the Autos and Pulses by more than half of a percent.
