Giving snipers sway is obviously a nerf. Putting mechanics into the game to make something harder to use is obviously a nerf. How you can even attempt to argue anything else is beyond me. Adding more flinch is also a nerf. There is already a bunch of flinch (and it was increased in TTK), but players that don't snipe don't know this. You're a shotgun user that pretty much never snipes, so has hardly any idea how they handle.
