I think it's a combination of primaries having a another of aim assist and being incredibly easy to use and other specials not really needing the precision element (arguably bar slugs) as well as the fact that you can move pretty fast and the connection being pretty appalling. You can snipe if you sit back and hold a lane, and against a less experienced player but I can count on one hand how many players I've seen able to reasonably snipe. Thoughts ? Opinions ? Edit: Thanks for all the responses. Looks like a vast majority say snipers a fine, and I'm okay with that, guess I should just square up and git gud, lol. I would like anyone who cares to answer to elaborate on the following regarding their comparisons to other special weapons: -how easy does it feel to use (risk/reward) ? -how many kills do you get with a snipers compared to a shotgun/fusion/linear per game ? -how many snipers do you encounter across(control, survival, trials, etc) the crucible compared to other special weapons ?
