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?

There are so many people insanely good at sniping now, that literally if you see the red light, it's too late. At several different ranges. I don't understand why you think having a stronger primary (aside from high caliber rounds, and assuming you survive the first sniper shot) will do anything to help your TTK when you're still the first one dying. [b][i]Snipers have THE BEST TTK. They will never make a standard primary that matches the TTK of a sniper, it just won't happen.[/i][/b] This is why you have to hit snipers themselves by making them harder to use.
