I was using an Eirene because it had luck in the chamber (I know, scrubby) and I love that holo-scope, but the LiC nerf caused me to dust off my 1,000 yard stare. GOOD GOD! That aim assist is nuts! I don't even have hidden hand on it and I actually feel a little cheap using it. Anybody else have a similar experience?
*Update* So I started a war over nerfing snipers. I am not calling for a nerf to snipers. Look at my stats. I snipe. Not very good at it but I don't shotgun or any other secondary. So much butthurt. I am merely saying that FOR ME Eirene is much harder to snipe with.
[b]I AM NOT CALLING FOR A NERF! CAN'T SOMEONE POST AN OPINION ABOUT WHY THEY LIKE A CERTAIN SNIPER OVER ANOTHER WITH STARTING A WAR BETWEEN INSECURE SNIPERS AND SHOTGUN HEROES!?!?![/b]
[u][b]The reaction to this post is everything that is wrong with this community. People get insulted for stating an opinion about why they like one sniper more than another. I am an old man and way past caring about what anonymous twats say on the internet, but there are kids out there would take it seriously that don't deserve this kind of abuse. Shame on you.[/b][/u]

Ha it gets used so much because you can shoot someone's toe nail and get head shot..
-
I started using mine and instantly did worse. I don't know how people use that gun.

1 RispondiSnipers are just unbalanced, they always have been but this latest expansion has really emphasized what's wrong with them. Special ammo comes too frequently and snipers aim in too quick for a one shot kill scoped weapon that has no sway. Can you imagine playing halo 1 or 2 where a person starts with a sniper every single game and doesn't have to worry about ammo? It's ridiculous, the sniping system they have right now needs some real work but I doubt it will ever happen.

Yeah nerf snipers! And Sith Lords and Phoenix zombie things and magical terrorists and fire Thors and hulk smashes and bubbleteers and robin hoods and cowboys and lightning claws and Exo robot things and the hairless apes and the avatars! NERF OR NOTHING!

Tabarnak ta tu du sel dans tes bobettes ? XD

I still prefer my Eirene. I can't adjust to the 1K stare.

Unless you are new here you should have known exactly what kind of reaction you would get from this post. You also say you don't care what people say but your hostile response to the first comment I saw says otherwise. Easy bait topic, clear contradictions between what you say and then what you do. I rate 2/10

5 RisposteModificato da contra_reality: 12/14/2015 8:52:14 PM1000 yard stare handles exactly like the Her Benevolence, longbow, and LDR. Also, aim assist has nothing to do with ease of sniping but rather how long the radical stick to an enemy when sweeping across or when an enemy comes across your screen. Ease of sniping is more intrinsic to the guns themselves and is determined by stuff buried in the range stat. Some people prefer less aim assist because they feel the stickiness gets in the way. I'm not sure 1000 yard stare is the easiest to use, but it's the most common since it is the easiest to obtain and it's one of the few that can snipe off the revive (very important for stuff like trials). Snipers of this category always have handled fairly smoothly. Shadow of veils and the defiance of Yasmin have more aim assist but don't handle as smoothly as the her benevolance/1000 yard type snipers. Basically, my point is a lot of people seem to misunderstand what aim assist actually does for snipers and wrongly blame other variables (either intrinsic to specific weapons or game mechanics) on aim assist.

8 RisposteYou went from using a gun with almost no aim assist to a gun with average aim assist.. of course there will be a difference. This post is stupid. 0/10.
-
I need a Y2 Praedyth's. That was the only sniper I even [i]sorta[/i] liked in PvP.
-
I have the litc eirene and another that I got a while ago with grenadier. I love that sniper and my 1000 yard stare shall remain in the vault.

3 RisposteY1 snipers typically had more AA.

7 RisposteYou sound like you got some hive cock in your mouth fgt

2 Rispostei still prefer Aoife Rau-D in crucible.

1 Rispondi[quote]I am an old man and way past caring about what anonymous twats say on the internet-[/quote] Yeah. Uh-huh.
-
6 RisposteI land WAY more head shots when using the Eirene, Icebreaker, or any other sniper with low aim assist. Aim assist ruins guns imo.
-
I can't even feel the aim assist. But I did start sniping on a base of 20 aim assist then I took it down to 10.
-
I'm in the same boat. I used eirine until LitC nerf. I switch to 1k stare. Its like I don't even need to aim. I just point and click.
-
Nice, I just got one recently with 'meh' perks. It seems okay, might bump it up past 300 if I can [i]git[/i] [b]güd[/b] at sniping.
-
The problem with snipers and shot guns is every one can get a semi decent one from a quest.
-
I dont snipe much so i dont really notice aim assist
-
1 RispondiWHY THE -blam!- DO YOU WANT SNIPERS NERFED!!!!!!11 [spoiler]hahaha...[/spoiler]
-
Yeah, I'm not even that good with a sniper, and I was able to hit continuos headshots with it in crucible. You can say it's not the aim assist, but you would be defending the gun. Don't think it needs to be nerfed though.

1 RispondiNLB or git gud

1 RispondiI really don't like aim assist snipers, I don't know why I am just better with low aim assist, I still use my ernie only for head shots
