People on Destiny have complained about everything. Hand canons, pulse, shot guns and now snipers. The problem isn't snipers, it's the lack of counters. The pulses could offer a good amount pressure on snipers, and we all know what Thorn could do in year one. Now that things have been nerfed (by community request), people [who maybe arent good with scout rifles] are realizing that scouts are the only things that have a chance of countering them from a distance. I have been sniping since Crota dropped.
I used LDR, no one said a word.
House of Wolves came out and we could [u][b]PICK THE PERKS ON OUR GUNS[/b][/u] through re rolling them.
I ran Her Benevolence with Unflinching and Hidden Hand with BOTH the Ambush and Hawk Eye scopes. No one said a word.
Shot guns, hand canons and shotties are nerfed.
You have no options left but to adapt and suddenly 1000 yard stare is the devils gun. Snipers are what they always been. A gun that rewards reaction time and precision.
So think about it, are you really complaining because every single is sniper you meet is crazy good, or because you're running around like a chicken with its head cut off because you don't know what to do?

22 AntwortenRemove aim assist completely from sniper rifles and then we'll talk.

I'm pretty decent with scouts they have become my favorite weapon type towards the end of year one replacing pulse rifles.. But pulse rifles were not nerfed to the point they are unusable. Hawksaw , juju , red death all still good in pvp

What can they nerf about snipers? The aim assist? A good sniper is still a good sniper. A mediocre sniper will only end up with a few kills each game anyway.....

Oh trust me, I always complained about Snipers, since TDB dropped. Just because it killed me. When I started sniping.

Imo her benevolence was the goat

You definitely aren't good with your 30% headshot ratio. Just stop posting like your oppinion counted. You are no professional on the subject so your oppinion doesn't mean anything.

Bearbeitet von brandt420: 12/20/2015 5:43:57 PMSnipers are the same yes....but the nerf cycle has made them by far the best choice for special weapons. Sniper rifles have been effective in every meta since Destiny launched. Can the same be said for shotguns, fusion rifles and sidearms?

Just buff shotguns and you would see no more threats about nerf snipers. People want the easy way out. Any primary vs a special is obvious the special is going to win. The primaries on ttk are not good as thorn/red death meta so those people that use to outgun with those weapons are the ones crying now. Omg why my surus is not taking care of that sniper, the sniper is so op. Shotguns and snipers are to powerful and the special ammo makes them more easy to use when you can join a match and already have 12-14 rounds for a shotty or sniper.

3 AntwortenBearbeitet von Wernstrom: 12/20/2015 2:40:07 PMThe only changes I'd like to see are.... Snipers get descoped when the player is shot Special ammo availability is reduced This would increase primary use but still reward actually skilled snipers, not just the bandwagon snipers who prescope corners.

5 AntwortenSnipers are seriously scared their OP weapons will be nerfed. It's funny to watch. Snipers have always been OP, it's just people had other OP weapons to chose from like Thorn or shotguns. So now that many of those weapons have been nerfed all the scrubs that want their easy kills have gravitated towards snipers and now they're everywhere. And bungie has said in the past that they don't want to see one weapon type being used more than another. So yeah, a nerf is coming to snipers.

Bearbeitet von F GGY TIME: 12/20/2015 7:44:31 PMI don't mind snipers, what I do mind is when I'm unloading on a guy in the face and he still some how is able to ads and get me in the head... Snipers to me should not be a weapon that can go up against another weapon in a firefight, when getting hit and you are ADS your scope should be fkking shaking so hard it's almost impossible to hit a head shot... sniping should be a reward for playing sneaky and catching an opponent off guard, or for winning a headshot battle between another sniper. But if you are getting pelted in the face at mid range by a scout, pulse, or auto you should not be able to land the headshot, that is my opinion.

9 AntwortenThey need to turn flinch way up. Someone hits a precision shot on you it should descope you.
-
Let's summarize this: - Primaries that have higher RoF should be able to counter a hard scope. What else am I supposed to? "you expect your primary to counter a snipers?" Uh yeah, what else am I supposed to do besides use another sniper. STFU that excuse is BS. Unless you're using an auto at scout range. - More scope flinch, counters hard scoping - "Don't walk into sniper lanes" You mean every single place on the map? Every hallway? Every corner in the game? Sorry I forgot to turn on my hacks to be able to see around the general corner. Twilight Gap is a perfect example of how a few snipers can shut down the [u]entire[/u] map. - "Sniping takes skill." No it doesn't... Sorry to burst that bubble. The only hint of skill in it all is when another sniper challenges you. There's nothing difficult about holding your reticle at head level and letting an unknowing foe (who has no way of knowing you're actually there) walk into a headshot. - "Flank them." What a hilarious joke that is. Look out of your scope from time to time, check your radar (is god tier btw). If someone flanks, you'll put a wall between you and the lane you were hard scoping. Switch to your primary, try to keep your spot. Or turn the corner and peel their face back if you know the head placement that well on the maps. - Less special ammo please.... Spawn with zero special, having it spawn a few times per match. - Also take heavy ammo out of skirmish and trails. Heavy round in trails can give scrubs a free round.

Lol you wrote so much for nothing aka counter bitching
-
agreed, Snipers should always 1 shot head kill, 2 shots to the body. people should just git gud. I get rekt by snipers all the time, it doesnt mean they need nerfing, all it means is that I have to git gud and adapt.
-
1 AntwortenEvery body that complains about snipers should post their stats. Guarantee most of those guys run shotguns like its a primary. If you haven't put in time to understand snipers then don't complain about them. Granted some people use them like scout rifles but if I connect with a headshot no weapon sway or nerf is going to fix that.

3 AntwortenBearbeitet von Forgetfuldrunk: 12/20/2015 6:11:37 PMcompared to battlefield. Destiny snipers give significant help To CoD? At least when you snipe out of a corner, your ACTUAL upper body and gun barrel is showing. This head glitch crap, plus an ease granted by AA onto very lane purposed maps. it sucks! Increase flinch, get rid of that shitty little triangle when you run(Honestly I suck but I land quickscopes with it time to time). Really though part blame is on map design. Pantheon/bannerfall can suck a fat one. And I'd rather wait out a full 3 minutes instead of play with snipers in those crap fallen tunnels on Thieves Den. Do actual snipers need a nerf? No. I undsterand everytime why I get rez sniped. That any more then a quick peek out means death. Power/capabilities. Spot on But while using one. I think the mechanics need adjusting. As stated above

Why not just remove shortgaze style (very low zoom) scopes and "snapshot" from the perk table? IMO: i realize there will always be those lucky shots... But snipers are very effective and reliable in EVERY range right now. It would be nice to see them only be used for long (longer than scout rifle) ranges. I believe this can be achieved by only allowing high zoom scopes and decreasing ADS speed. Very frustrating to titan skate over to a camped out sniper with my sidearm, only to have them turn and take my head off from 8 feet away...
-
2 AntwortenThe only nerfs that are being asked for is aim assist. If you're against this then you admit your lack of skill. If you're actually good then you don't have a problem. It that easy.
-
2 AntwortenI run sniper mostly and even I agree the headshot hitboxes need to be fixed, the problem is people who aren't good are still able to use most snipers effectively. Also, we have the best weapon balance we've ever had. Last Word itself probably needs another adjustment but beyond that everything is pretty solid for once.

3 AntwortenSnipers have always been broken. Just saying that a weapon that can hit you in a hit box the size of a pumpkin that also has no sway and is rather easy to aim. That's just a broken gun that requires little skill to use because of how easy it is to use
-
Bearbeitet von FLXSHOTTY: 12/20/2015 2:51:59 PMIf you think you should be able to play entire games of trials/crucible just using a sniper, you are broken. You shouldn't be able to remain scoped in and steady while someone is blasting you with an auto rifle.

I do think bodyshots should be changed a little bit. Keep the current damage for chest area and reduce damage for arms and legs.
