Of course, some people will complain about my Wish but go and play a few rounds crucible and count the number of used Auto Rifles. In my Opinion you will see that Autos are underused. And why? Because without a good aim assistance and recoil Control are Autos to weak in the Crucible. The only good Autos are Suros Regime and other high Impact Autos with Firefocus Perk.
That's just my Opinion. Feel free to tell me your Experience and View of the Autos in the Crucible.

Autos just don't have a competitive place and I'm struggling to find any benefit to justify there existence. The only thought that comes to mind is that the flinch they cause is strong compared to other weapons but the lack of stability, recoil direction, range and TTK is just to lacking to even care about the flinch factor. From what I hear from HC / sweaty community is that autos are easy mode weapons. Well if that's the case improve weapon stability and recoil direction by 20% across all auto archetypes. Because right now counterbalance is a requirement on 90% of all autos and that should not be the case. Even with that buff autos will not be ultra competitive but at least it will improve damage output consistency and raise the difficulty floor for new player base and old.
