Snipers aren't a problem, btw this is coming from a top player. I regularly play sweats or top tier pvp. Snipers are very easy to counter. U jus need to learn how to adapt. Nerfing them really isn't the answer. Don't peak a lane that is being hardscoped. If u know someone is scoping that lane, either don't peak or come around the corner sliding or jumping to make it hard for them to land a shot. Snipers aren't a problem, it's people's playstyles. Sniping takes skill as well as shot gunning. People will continue to say this gun and that gun r op but in the end, when it gets nerfed, that person will continue to find out that they still suck. Snipers weren't a problem in year 1, why are they now a problem? With the taken king, primaries have gotten weaker and have slower times to kill. Now that primaries don't kill as fast, special weapons/heavy weapons are a lot better. Snipers don't feel as threatened as they use to. Before they were usually only able to get 1-2 shots in a gunfight but with current meta, snipers can pull off more shots. Anyways snipers aren't the problem, it's ur playstyle, if u don't believe me, we can play sometime and I can show u or u can continue to ask for nerfs and make urself look bad. At this point in the game, weapons are as balanced as ever but jus have slower ttk. The only thing unbalanced in this game right now is classes.

  • Although I do agree with you to an extent, the problem is that even if you do everything right, snipers can punish you. Landing multiple headshots on a sniper only to get domed. Sliding through a doorway you know is being hard scoped only to be body shot then finished off with a primary (which has a faster TTK than any primary in the game BTW.) Both of these happen because aim assistance and are NOT based on the skill of the player. Regardless, I am just here for the finished product, I can never tell what Bungie is going to do anymore.

  • In my opinion the reason why snipers were not a problem in year 1 is because everyone would rather use thorn/last word and felwinter with rifled/reinforce barrel and rangefinder/shot package

  • The reason why people are complaining about snipers in year 2 is because they made thorn shotguns and last word be bad for a couple months and snipers just became everyone's secondary weapon

  • Hey Patch how are you doing? First I'm happy too a tier player noticed this and I would love for someone like you to hep me get back into destiny again I used to be pretty good myself but that's beside the point. First I agree with you it's not snipers entirely snipers as a whole have many issues and I addressed those but if primaries where how they were a change in the mechanics of snipers would still be necessary to add a level of skill to them. It makes no sense at all that sniper never get punished for taking a shot to the head or have no sway when they aim. Tell me how on any level that's fair? Also don't take this as a "Oh my gosh I'm bad, I need nerf, to be Gud" it's not like that at all.

  • I agree with this, snipers weren't a problem in year 1 because shotguns were more powerful, and primaries were way stronger, plus now people will keep running into lanes where snipers are hard scoped

  • Also when people talk about running into lanes and taking cover (which I do or avoid those lanes when possible.) cover should be a valid and it's not and even then destiny plays as a high pace shooter so why can someone set up shop and hard scope with so little fear unless someone like you or me shut them down?
