Are Auto Rifles OP? (Destiny)

So apparently the Galahad-C managed to get nerfed for the beta, but that doesn’t seem to address the larger issue I’m observing in the Crucible, that the make or break weapon is the Auto Rifle.

Some casual perusal of the top players in some of my matches.

Match 1

Match 2

Match 3

And I noticed that everyone who does well is using an Auto Rifle. And a lot of the people doing poorly (aside from lower level people who possibly didn’t even have heavies at the time…) were using Scout or Pulse rifles.

Except! Sigbias Silva has pointed out their amazing performance with a Scout Rifle. Is an OP Auto Rifle a myth? What do you think?

And yes, I'm hankering for an API to actually start crunching some numbers on this. I can only imagine the amazing amount of data Bungie has collected from the beta so far.
