Hardscoping Snipers are the new Blink Shotgunners

Surprising how things turn around huh? The Crucible is plagued by Hardscopers EVERYWHERE, you'd expect them to remain firing in the Sniper Lanes of each map but the reality is vastly different. Where we used to hear *Swooosh* now we only see a bunch of Red Scope Glares in the far side of the map letting you know you're -blam!- ed for good. In some ways a Sniper dominated PVP match is worse than shotgun domination because you can never get close to those cowards! Games are lasting longer too as a result! Everyone is just waiting for the Next head to pop around the corner and get an easy kill, they won't even bother to get their own heavy, you'll be death by the time you put a foot on that corridor.... I demand a serious STABILITY buff for Fusion Rifles. FFS look at the stats, Fusion Rifle kills make up less than 5% of the Statistics.

  • I'm calling it right now. The next blink shotgunner/hardscoper is going to be the "corner chargers."

  • All anyone uses in pvp [i]and[/i] pve is snipers to do the serious work. For boss killing, major killing, shutting down supers, and not spending more than a quarter second looking at and killing a guardian. They have become the new thorn, the new blink shot gunning, because people realized they could get easy kills sitting there and waiting for a guardian to pop up. With most other guns, it matters who shot first also. Unless you are behind a sniper, even if you should first with a primary, you still die because it's apparently really easy to shoot through getting shot in the face.

      I love it when people complain about hardscoping, like you kids literally think hardscoping is not a real thing. You don't "quickscope" with a sniper, the purpose of a sniper is to hardscope aka aim down sights. And to your opinion of sniper matches being worse than shotgun matches, yeah um no. After all the nerfs they did with shotguns, they're still op and blink shotgunning will always remain a thing. I honestly would much rather match a 6 man sniper team than 6 man blink shotgunners because honestly shotguns are basically pocket snipers.
