It might have been fine with less of a dmg nerf. (Destiny)

I went on a total rampage with Suros Regime last night. Granted, Suros is THE BEST Auto Rifle in the game, but I still think it's unfair to call them "useless". I do far better with Suros than I do with Red Death or Hawkmoon. A lot of it comes down to personal playstyle and skill set.

Perhaps it does, but I honestly think a good player who is using a Suros will lose in a fight to a good player using nearly any hand cannon, most of the time.

My K/D last night says otherwise :)

As I said in another thread, Hand Canons are certainly more effective than ARs if used with 100% efficiency. But they're also more punishing when you miss shots. One of the reasons I have a hard time using HCs is because I side-step like a madman. I twitch and juke all over the place. This makes it very difficult for me to land headshots with a HC, but it also makes it difficult for other people to hit me. So for my playstyle, painting my crosshair in the general area of my target's head and holding down the trigger with my AR works really well. I'll out-duel most HC users I come across.
