Weapon Balance, where art thou? - 1.05 Edition.

Again, disclaimer, as of posting, All Commons, Uncommons at Rank X, most Rares at V - X, several UR's at basic ranks. All my feedback is coming for primarily Gold-Level gameplay

Dun dun dun, 1.05, the googly shiny eye patch. Now with MP balancing!
Absolutely awful.

Without further adieu, feedback in hopes Bioware actually reads our cries for mercy; and a genuine curiosity to see if you, my fellow MEAMP'rs feel the same, or differently!

ARs
Honestly, wtfmate.
I'm convinced the DevTeam is balancing around Bronze. And even then, weapons still feel sketchy.
Buffed Valk? Halberd? Mattock? Oh god Bioware you slay me. When it takes almost 2 full clips of headshots to kill a basic Ahdi or a Wraith, or a Chosen or Bandit, something is dangerously wrong this is tedious.
The Division tedious. _{seriously, yuck}
AR's feel like you're trying to sand lumber with wet toilet paper. single-ply
Oh joy, Mattock RoF is fixed! -- Now only if the gun didn't give me carpal tunnel because I need to empty 2 reloads' worth of ordinance to kill a reptilian space dog.
IT'S NOT JUST THE SEMI'S THAT NEED BUFFING, BIOWARE; the entire class underperforms in every way, shape, and form.
_{(after watching several streamers between matches, they seem to be under the impression that headshots AND basic shots can get disregarded due to host-side hit confirmation lag, i'll laugh my guts out if true.)}

Pistols
The Predator is a scopeless mini-raptor that out-performs a Mattock. Bravo, something semi usable as a sidearm.
Hand Cannons still require 1-2 entire clips of headshots to take down simple enemies.
Still, the Hurricane/Equalizer/Charger remain reliable only on the sole reliance of High-RoF + High Shot Capacty. Guess shooting something 90 times in the face for 2 straight minutes is "EXCITING GUN PLAY"

Shotguns
Is it even worth mentioning shotguns?
Chokes apparently are non-functional.
Reload times are atrocious. Disciple, I'm looking at you, baby.
Damage is still low and inconsistent.
The Talon Pistol outclasses every gun in this category

Sniper Rifles
Lets address the first thing that comes to mind.
El Vanquisho.
3x to 2x headshot damage, fair enough. Still one of; if not the best gun in game still.
It shoots pretty fast, and inflicts damage. You shoot, something noticeable happens.
Repeat after me, Bioware, I know one you seedy little rascals will gloss over this post someday:
WHEN WE SHOOT SOMETHING _{with any gun} -- THE HEALTH BAR SHOULD MOVE.
Want an medium ranged AR? Use a Raptor/Indra/Valiant -- these guns do the job better and faster
Want a short range shotgun? Quickscope with a Isharay/Widow/Eladen -- If you think a regular shotgun will provide close-range spike damage, think again



Remnant weapons sans Equalizer are still godawful.
Please please please, someone at Bioware, whoever reads our pleas, get some guys and gals, and play some Gold.
Yes, you're probably awful at your own game, but eghads, half of that terrible feeling in your gut is due to the completely asinine imbalance that's plaguing what SHOULD be a fun game.
