Snipers are whatever you want them to be guardian, bane, or blessing. Although I do hate them. Let's see what kind of biases are out there.
Edit 1: After over 100 responses, so far, "Git gud, scrub" seems to be winning. I love this game and community!
Edit 2: After 200 plus responses, it is official. "Git gud, scrub." Snipers are officially fine. Although for my taste, there would be more sway in the target reticle. And if you snipe me, prepare for me to trek around to try to flank you in revenge :)
Edit 3: So, I have 151 peeps who say "Git Gud," 57 who think they are OP, 47 who think they can zoom too quick, 18 who say they are OP. So revisiting this post, I'd say that the community is mixed/split on this one. Snipers love 'em, anyone who does not snipe does not. Which we already knew.
And 26 say nerf fusions. Lol.

Sooo i have a theory. I think flinch in this game doesnt work as they intend... i think that when u light up a sniper with primary due to lag it doesnt enact the flinch on the snipers screen quick enough. Therefore when he scopes in on u while ur firing he still gets the headshot. I think they need to look at flinch and revamp it a bit not only in that respect but make scout headshots flinch more depending on archtype. (Example slow firing scouts should cause more flinch than mida)
