So uh, Bungie, when is the sniper issue being fixed??

TL;DR at the bottom (Yw) You know what dominates the crucible? Snipers You know what is used more than anything else in the crucible? Snipers You know what should be nerfed because of this? Snipers Now don't get me wrong, I myself use snipers so I feel like I actually have a valid opinion in this matter. I like sniping, know why? It's real -blam!-ing easy, not just because this game has super high aim assist, but because there are perks you can get on snipers to INCREASE aim assist, making this simplistic task, mindlessly easy. Now I imagine some (all) of you snipers out there will disagree with me because snipers are a precise weapon, they are, but bungie made them too precise and powerful. Such as shotguns last year. I was there, I loved my matador and the action filled gameplay with both opposing sides rushing each other dueling it out man to man. But now... Everyone sits back and snipes. Where's the fun in that? I guess if the shotgun meta was something you called for a nerf on, but you arent calling for a nerf on this, I understand. It sucks using an easy gun to dominate a team. Now, it may seem like I'm just bashing with no solutions in sight, but fear not, here are some ideas to fix this boring meta. 1. Stop Rez-sniping all together, either increase immune time when revived, or make decrease sniper HS damage across the board so they cannot one shot anyone with an over shield. 2. Do not give ammo at the start of games, or, if you do, do not drop special throughout the match but start with full ammo 3.Greatly increase recoil on snipers 4. Buff something else *cough* shotguns, and in turn, keep snipers where they are 5. Remove hidden hand (the ultimate HS crutch) 6. Don't like my suggestions, come up with something better other than "stop whining" this is my first complaint post my entire time being apart of this toxic/cancerous community. 7. Make more counters to sniping, make it less effective at close range (not mid-long) 8. Make sniping like halo, if you get shot (should only be a headshot for this) you go out of your scope edit - spelling edit 2 - suggestion #5 edit 3- I knew that when making this post i'd see 4 types of people explicitly 1. Someone who agrees or disagrees with me but doesnt offer any solutions themselves 2. People who agree or disagree with me that offer real criticism and solutions (the mvps) 3. The trolls 4. the people who bring my stats into this arguement, my personal favorite because they have nothing to offer and have shit all against me :) edit 5- it seems most of you dont want a nerf (i was once like you as well inb4 year 1) and i understand why that may not seem like a good idea to you, I too believe buffing other weapons to create more diversity in the PvP atmosphere is a great idea edit 6 - if you havent read the entire post and start commenting absolute BS, just know you're a moron edit 7- suggestions TL;DR sniping should reward those who are good, weapon balance is almost spot on as of post April update, primaries need a buff, most popular suggestions for snipers 1.remove hidden hand 2. Increase flinch when being shot 3. Add scope sway

            • The minute snipers are nerfed, shotguns will rise again, and people will cry for another shotgun nerf. This is a never ending cycle. You can't win.

                    • I love the sniping in this game, not saying it's easy because I don't think it is, but because it's fun. And if they nerfed them they ways you suggest I would probably stop playing for a while. However, I agree that shotguns, side arms, and even fusions should be buffed to where you don't feel like you need to use snipers, but all specials can compete equally

                      First off they have reduced the amount of secondary you can carry. Increased the time duration of ammo boxes. Gave snappy scopes larger magnification. Now on the laughable part of your complaint. ResSniping is just fine the way it is. You should not be rewarded for dying. Btw I don't know what crucible you're playing but from what I've seen since the update a lot of players are roaming with Shotties again. Just like the amount of Nerf shotguns posts has returned. Which is laughable in itself. It's a shotgun. My father was shot by a 12 gauge from 30 yards away and it almost killed him. Back to your complaint. The problem isn't with AA. You're complaining about FRACTIONS of a second of stick. As you stated The problem is that destiny doesn't have scope drift or a huge flinch when being shot. Crying to Nerf one weapon will always lead to someone else crying for the next class of weapon to nerfed.

                    • I say decrease rof Low impact 25% Medium impact 50% High impact 50% But buff the crit multiplier to keep the dps at the same lvl. This is primarily a PVE buff. In PVE this would help clear majors easier.. Boss damage will be the same.. PVP double body shots will be less of an issue and snipers will be a high risk high reward special like it should be.

                      • I agree with the post something has to be done about snipers l personally just use snipers and there is no skill involved. People that say there is skill involved haven't played very much veritity of video games.

                      • You call hidden hand a crutch when in fact it doesn't change much Anyone who's good at sniping can use both you're creating a issue where one doesn't exist. Snipers are fine where they are at they don't need a change

                      • Rid of Rez sniping? So, you should be rewarded for death out in the open?? I don't think so. I agree that shotguns could use a buff, they're pretty underwhelming. [spoiler]Still fun. Will use them anyway[/spoiler]

                        • Make primaries great again. If primaries were more effective it wouldn't be so much an issue. Year one sniping was rare but hand cannons kept them at bay.

                          • I'm scared of a good shotgunner more than a good sniper. Snipers don't need a Nerf but buff other things.

                            The problem is not sniper rifles in general. The problem is aim assist. My solution is simple and effective. Sniping is supposed to be a skill that comes with practice. Aim assist greatly reduces the skill needed to be a sniper. Make it a skill and remove all aim assist in pvp. I've seen a 9 year old who CANNOT get a kill with a primary weapon, consistently get kills with his 1000 YdS from aim assist with hidden hand perk. Good snipers will not be affected by removing aim assist. Snipers are not the problem guys and gals... aim assist is the real cancer here.

                              Don't change how snipers perform and function such as rez sniping, but special ammo changes would be better. I still find myself being sniped all game and I find myself shotgunning all game. Start the game with full ammo and only two special ammo drops. As well as decrease aim assist on all guns, as well as stability, this should help stop the out gunning snipers can do and make it more essentially to get the first head shot. Keep hidden hand though. Don't take away diverse perk options. Shotguns are fine where they are and so are snipers, but in exchange of decreasing aim assist by a lot make snipers feel snapier going in. As well as perhaps decrease the damage snipers do. More like half health instead of "I hit you with a body shot and simply stub your toe and you'll die" is sort of ridiculous. Really just decrease the aim assist a bit. They're overused, but certainly not over powered and people need to get that. I'm tired of the constant nerf wanted by this community, it's like a constant angry mob.

                            • The crucible is more balanced than ever. People can use almost what ever and if they are okay with the weapon they do fine. This is what it should always be

                            • All your suggestions are retarded. Snipers should ALWAYS be a one hit kill for a head shot. Even when being revived.
