Auto rifles too strong... Bungie nerfs them to the ground. Everyone screams they're too weak and unusable. Bungie buffs them a bit. Everyone once again screams they're overpowered.
There is no winning in this game because there will always be people freaking out over one weapon type or other being overpowered.

No the real problem is this. They nerfed auto rifles pretty bad in vanilla. So then because pulses were under par that left 2 viable choices. Hand cannons and scouts. Because most handcannons have a faster ttk than most scouts naturally the community went for the faster ttk. So then they gradually started nerfing the handcannon. It begin with slight decreases in range and eventually led to the Phantom bullet epidemic we have today. The biggest issue is after pulses being buffed then put in their place they buffed autos but left handcannons broken. You can't nerf one thing and buff something else and expect it to be balanced. Honestly the taken king nerf to handcannons werr unjust and definitely unnecessary. They buffed autos and scouts so handcannons would have been in a good place had they left them alone. We all knw the reason that the handcannon era was terror was because of tlw and thorn. Maybe hawkmoon but definitely not as much as the other 2. But handcannons as a whole were actually in a good place before ttk minus the 3 exotics. They should just restore hc accuracy and i mean restore it to what it was and not bs us and everything would be in a really good place.

could not agree with you more here. the only overpowered ones where the last word and thorn and they did a blanket nerf on hand cannons and buffed other weapons. it was unjust that nerfed all handcannons and buffed everything else. who ever heard of RNG bullets in a first person shooter. that is unfair.
