Scout Rifles (Destiny)

I think it is disappointing to relegating Scouts out of the meta. There definitely seem to be fewer Scout-heavy sightlines, but I see them in D2 often enough. And it isn’t always MIDA. The biggest thing for me is that HCs, ARs, and PRs shouldn’t all be good at the same ranges. All of the weapons should have an Ease-of-Use-Bell-Curve. This should be overlapping waves, where ARs and PRs are more flexible but not as good as the more narrow focused HCs and SRs. Obviously this is a high level balance solution. The problem that D1 started with was that the bell curves were almost identical across all of the Primaries, and eventually moved to a point where almost none of the curves overlapped. I don’t want to see the core primaries from D1 just to get flattened out.

Now, I may be misunderstanding your intent with your comment. But I just wanted to make sure that i was clear on my feeling of opposition to all primaries being good/easy to use at all/most ranges.
