I really wanted ARs to be good with the latest patch. Stashed some good ones in the vault with hopeful expectation.
Patch is released and sadly they still suck. The TTK remains too slow across every archetype of AR in order to be able to compete 1V1 versus pulses or hand cannons. A further buff to ARs is needed. Unfortunately Bungie doesn't do what's needed. They only do what's on their respective agenda.

I think the real solution is to not have 3 archetypes of each weapon class. It's hard to balance slow,medium and fast firing weapons to be applicable across all pvp. Then there's map design.
