I'll leave this here http://www.destinygamewiki.com/wiki/Aim_Assist People tend to complain over everything that gets used more in pvp. Grenades and horseshoes, high range shotguns, HC's, etc. my point being people will complain over everything in the game. Personally snipers aren't as easy as everyone says they are to use u run a sniper and find myself missing a few shots here and there resulting in death. Every weapon has its upsides and downsides. Rush a sniper user and they have little defense against a shotgun close range. You can look me up on DTR I'm not a scrub in pvp I used to be 18k rank now I've dropped due to less play but I should hold some credibility because of how much pvp I've played. Aim assist hasn't changed since the game launched its only a problem now bcz long range weapons are the current meta.
