If sniping isn't a crutch...

If sniping is a skilled weapon, why can so many bad players with under a 1.0 kd do so well with any sniper? It's worse then thorn lol I'm not asking for a nerf but sniping has really lost its creditability at this point. Good snipers have no reason to comment. If you're good you understand the difference.

    • Strolls into snipers murder zone (open ground no cover), literally puts their head in a noose. Cries about outcome. Lol.

      • Nothing is worse than thorn. Thorn wouldn't have been an issue if that burn didn't exist. Thorn just would have been a cool looking handcannon. Everyone uses snipes simply because shotguns were just castrated

      • I think everyone can't complain about shotguns now, so now you complain about snipers.

        • You did NOT just say that sniping is easier than getting kills with thorn.. Your opinion is invalid, or you weren't here for the thorn meta, either or

        • It's not a crutch it is a tactic. This is coming from someone that doesn't use snipers or shottys. People need to stop crying crutch and nerf. There are different archetypes for different situations if you keep getting wrecked by snipers you have a number of options. Long story short adapt and overcome. I typically run a scout rifle and sidearm combo. I do a lot of aggressive flanking and support for team mates. 1. Learn to counter sniper. 2. Learn to flank. 3. Practice being hard to hit. 4. Learn the maps know the common sniping corridors. 5. Learn to communicate with your team. 6. Use diversionary tactics.

        • Because they suck with a primary or play good against shotgun noobs but bad against other snipers?

        • Snipers have basically stayed unchanged since day 1. Yeah, they got a tiny range buff, but not by a lot. It's the only gun that's been consistent for over a year and people slowly learned to use them.

              If sniping is a crutch...why is everyone complaining about it only after their shotgun crutch is gone and absolutely nothing has been done to snipers? Hmm? Could it be people always need to cry nerf for something?

            • You're point doesn't fully make sense to me. You say players with a kd under 1.0 and then say they do so well with a sniper. If they were doing so well they wouldn't have a kd under 1.0.

            • If sniping is a crutch then why do so many players have below a 1.0? It's the exact same as the thorn era, good players do good and bad players do bad regardless of the weapons.

                • That's strange that noone complained when everybody was able to challenge sniper with bulls*t like thorn or hawkmoon across the map, now there's a problem with snipers? don't think so

                    Under 1.0 isn't doing well buddy. Nice try tho. I personally do a lot better with a shotgun, but im not an Mlg try hard and I think sniping is fun so I use a sniper.

                          • The aim assist on snipers it way too high, Bungie dumbed it down a lot, takes no skill to snipe in this game especially when your reticle sticks to people's heads.
