So there's been a lot of debate on the forums in year 2 over sniper rifles and their effectiveness in PvP.
This poll isn't to see if people think they should be nerfed per se (solutions could just as easily be buffs to counter weapons/primaries), but to just see if people believe there's a problem.
Bungie have obviously made attempts at balancing them already with ammo changes that ended up only jacking up PvE.
So what do you think, is sniping a problem in the current meta?

Oh I can't kill them with my primary so snipers must be overpowered and a problem.. When in reality the lack of primary power is the issue. You sucked the joy out of pvp already. Seriously stop encouraging nerfs. The descope thing is absolutely the dumbest desire the game has ever faced. Snipers have no Hip fire reticle. They would become useless in pvp but mainly in pve. The flinch is still very high but with .8 primary kill times players have more time to counter the flinch. If they didn't have time to reset. It wouldn't matter. You people have to be year 2 players or Year 1 players who are just horrible at pvp. Not only that but if you actually took the time to do your research you would see that shotguns are used for more then sniper rifles. According to Guardian.gg this week more people use shotguns in most play list besides skirmish and Trials. This is the case most of the time. Shotguns are used more than snipers. In control snipers are normally around 10 percent while shotguns are around 19 percent. Shut up and stop trying to destroy pvp further because you are bad or don't understand how this game works.
