Please look at the above graph. Snipers and Pulse rifles were pretty much killing about the same.
And they were clearly BALANCING each other out, then Bungie decided to move thing around and all balance was LOST.
Pulse rifles use plumettes sharply, again, look at graph, while sniper rifles moved even higher and MILES from the closest competitor.
In practice, dominating a VERY VERY UNBALANCED playing filed.
Any word from Bungie?? no.

What would they say?? The graph speaks for itself. They don't known how to balance a system like this and they are floundering. The year two maps all favor mid range engagements. So the numbers prior to the Dec patch looked pretty good. Only hand cannons and SRs being lower than one would expect. So the nerf to PRs was not only unwarranted it was counterproductive. ...and now, as any PvP player can tell you snipers dominate everything now, and are running rampant.
