*You guys and your simplifying of the Bungie statisticians (Destiny)

The existence of the Vanquisher/Shadow Price archetype has broken crucible for some time; full auto lazer beams that are more stable than SR's and fire fast enough to kill in near the same time. I thought they'd needed a range nerf and a damage boost back when we had this conversation after 1.1.0.4(? I think) (it was this one. echo chamber), and I think it still is the best solution.

The FR range nerf has been a huge success that nobodies talking about, so Bungie can clearly do range nerfs. The Shotty buff is clearly a PvE win. Smash those two all over the AR's head.

I agree. I was surprised that Bungie decided to nerf the entire AR family when I think it's just long range ARs that need to be nerfed. I think they could have even just increased the spread of all ARs and maybe even slightly increased dmg. Thus making them more of a chancy gun, but better as you get closer.
