I have a few things i think would fix the sniper over use and over power: the aim assist on sniper is too high, take that down a notch or two, also the flinch perk on weapons seems to be broken, i mean i see it happen in PvE but when it comes to PvP its non existent. If the player being targeted by a sniper could take a shot or two and mess with the sniper it would even the playing field. Lastly, the short gaze scopes should be trashed. Snipers are long range weapons and shotguns are close range, we can put fusion rifles in the medium range, so snipers should be shooting from a distance, not 2 feet from an enemy players face. So take away the short gaze away and make the snipers what they are intended for. They call the primary weapons primary for a reason. Good luck, Guardians
