Weapon balance comes more with the dmg it does, not so much the feel, that's to do with the learning curve of each weapon, e.g. the Sniper has a higher learning curve, but the best snipers are quite surprisingly terrifying, e.g. L0rdzz and Sanzo in a 2v2 team would be more than enough against two strong AR say yourself Vermi and myself.
No. The issue with AR is the pushback, I notice when I 1v1 Vault, the absolute moment he sees me and begins firing he is already trying to rifle sprint away from me as he does so, to try and push forward and fire is suicide as it slows you down and therefore makes you easier to hit, hence why the SMG is better in offensive situations as it allows more maneuverability.
To test weapon balance and the feel of the game is what SVN is for, which is why it does no harm to implement it in SVN and try it, and in return get feedback from ourselves and others.
