First off these weapons are in no way shape or form high skill.... they have enormous hit boxes, flinch is not random and controller /xim abusers have a soft aim bot on pc
Next, for being low skill weapons they are incredibly oppressive and frustrating to play against... the only counter is another sniper...
I know people enjoy using snipers so all they need is small hitboxes, and a descope mechanic they should buff the damage back to one hit supers.... also remove recticle stickiness for controller abusers on pc...

1 ReplyRight because hitting enemy with smg or pulse is so hard, did you download the game yet?

1 ReplyBorealis (at least for me) is an awesome sniper. I feel rewarded using it.

4 RepliesI disagree with this on console. Pc can be frustrating because it doesn't feel balanced but on console i don't notice a problem. I just bait snipers to use those 2 shots and then rush in for the kill

2 RepliesEdited by Artisan: 3/31/2020 4:53:59 PMAll special weapons are annoying. All. Ignoring Trace there are 3 classes and we can add Jotunn as a class of it's own due to it essentially being a tracking minirocket rather than anything resembling a Fusion. Ranked skill order: 1. SNIPERS - can be high skill, can just be laning, does vary on platform, but essentially mid skills. 2. Post-nerf FUSIONS - also annoying, but requires anticipating shots and/or prefiring. Mid-low skills. 3. SHOTGUNS - point and shoot, one bang or two and you're done. A staple everywhere due to its ease. Low-skills. 4. JOTUNN - Range, tracking, OHK. Baiting wasting shots and peek shooting being the required order of the day in counter. No skills.

11 RepliesA sniper is not the only counter to a sniper. A little secret, there is no “put this weapon on and it will counter a sniper”. Countering a sniper is about map awareness, positioning, and loadout applicability, all concepts that you just learn as a player.

2 RepliesThe nerf is called “protect your head”. Don’t just run out of cover or into lanes, try jumping or sliding.

I was fine with you until you started talking some real thrash about controller "aim assist" and "stickiness". MK playing with magnitism and no recoil. To use Greta`s words "How dare you?"

Remove aim assist and make it so all but light weight frame snipers can do 260 body shot damage. 😋

1 ReplyEdited by GenXer: 3/30/2020 1:18:00 PMgawd, another PvPer weighing in on "balance". Snipers are so bad, now, I wince when I have to use them. Give it a rest, already, and just play the damn game instead of trying to steer it your way.

15 RepliesDon't you -blam!-ing dare. Don't you say stuff like this and get my Whisper nerfed AGAIN!!!! All because you can't learn not to peak the red dot on the horizon. I'm so sick of the Dev team -blam!-ing the PvE community to bend over backwards so they can please the PvP Sweats. Leave my guns alone.

1 ReplyI’d like to see a big aim assist nerf. Snipers should be revered and skilful weapons in my opinion and they’re just a bit too easy to get kills. The aim assist nerf would also stop snipers killing through flinch as this is what brings the reticle back onto target during gun fights. I like snipers a lot, the whole hunter using a sniper and a hand cannon is the play style I really leaned into in D1 originally and I still snipe a lot now but they just feel a bit too assisted for the user.

2 RepliesEdited by an Ape with a d2 addiction: 3/30/2020 7:19:54 AMMore zoom so they aren't accessible chaperones, smaller hitboxes to disable the semi-auto aim, rework opening shot into something that doesn't make heads into barn doors and make flinch bad enough that I don't feel confident enough to take my chances shooting someone through it. There's no joy like 6v6 with mostly snipers in it regardless of the map, when you start getting into the somewhat higher skill-brackets. Least on PC. Though with stuff like flinch and descoping there's always pve usability to consider. Separate balancing like always would be nice at least, if not realistic.
