It's a -blam!-ing crutch. IMO I used shadow of veils for a long time. nailed almost all of my shots and then watched a video on how disgustingly high the aim assist is. So when I found that out I maxed out my HB and now I'm using that and it's difficult im not that good with it but I want to get better at actually sniping. The point is when a better sniper comes along with better perks or more impact with less aim assist your gonna have a tough time. It doesn't make you a good sniper it makes you handicapped.
