The people commenting here do own the game and have hundreds of hours into it, including myself.

The nerfs here described have a much higher impact (railgun shots literally bounce off enemies now) than the buffs to the weapons that were an absolute joke already and still are ineffective.

We did read all the patch notes, we did try all of the changes described, and then we came and expressed our opinion on it. Don’t assume what others have/have not done.

Well I think you meant to reply to the other commenter, but in any case what you said included:

instead fix the rest of the shit weapons?! Making everything equally garbage does not solve the problem.

And it sounds like they're already trying to do this with the buffs (though again: I don't own the game). It's the first balance patch - I assume (and hope) that the situation will continue to improve with further updates similar to Helldivers 1 and its many patches.
