Snipers aren't the problem. They're obnoxiously popular, yes, but overall they've barely changed since launch. The reason were seeing a lot more sniping is because; A) Most guns are sh*t B) Bungie keep f*cking with the meta It's also the reason everyone and their mothers were foaming at the dick about the return of MIDA, which essentially became an overnight Gjallarhorn, and it's... Just ok. It's not an automatic win nor is it even remotely overpowered, it's just a solid weapon that rewards precision. Simply put most of the guns just all round suck for PVP, and if Bungie continue to flip the established meta on it's head, players aren't going to want to get attached to anything nor become at all competent with it because it won't be long til Bungie fires up the Nerf cannon and we all have to rebuild our Crucible games from scratch.
