Autorifles cant peak shoot. Because of this they can only be a good option if they have a low ttk that is very forgiving. This means they will be low skill weapons. As it stands they are very forgiving to reach their optimal ttk, but if they had a ttk that actually let them compete then they would be literally the best option. Source: see uriels meta.
I love auto rifles and hand cannons.
You need to be careful buffing autos cuz they take no skill.
Or the least
Auto meta would never be fun
But I agree that need a little buff. Only use it found is great at team shooting. Even the new auto exotic.. At least buff cerebrus
Give it perks on each barrel be so cool!
