[i]My montage is just to show you my level of skill at sniping. You do not need to watch it for this post. [/i]
So if you watched the twitch stream, snipers after the April update have been nerfed. I was expecting a nerf and agree that one was needed but they what they did I disagree with.
[b]Changes[/b]
- increased zoom of shortagaze, Longview SLR10 and ambush scopes
- increased [b]a[/b]im-[b]d[/b]own-[b]s[/b]ight time by 2 frames
- increased [b]ADS [/b]time by 10% when the [b]Snapshot [/b]perk is active (was a 30% reduce, now it's 20%)
[b](please let me know if I've missed anything!)[/b]
Bungie is slowing down sniping. So more or less they are forcing snipers to camp and hardscope! Increasing the scope zoom also increases the aim assist btw. Slowing the scoping down only nerfs the good snipers with fast reflexes! This makes no sense!! Aggressive sniping is very hard to be good at. I have been practicing this for the last year and I am still not very consistent! And now that auto rifles and fusion rifles have been buffed in mid range it makes it harder again for aggressive snipers.
[b]Why Players Overuse Snipers[/b]
[b]1.[/b] fusions were useless [b]2[/b]. Hardscoping doorways is really easy to do [b]3[/b]. Aim assist makes dragscoping very consistent [b]4[/b]. Rez-sniping [b]5[/b]. Very little flinch [b]6[/b]. bodyshot - primary combo and [b]7[/b]. Trials- the most competitive crucible gamemode without any objective just promotes camping long sight-lines.
The perk Snapshot is for skilled quickscopers. Destiny is no CoD and I don't want it to be but after practicing it for the past year using a sniper consistently and now most of all that hard work is now useless! Make snipers more of a skilled weapon instead of a hardscoping, camping machine!
Players who have mastered this incredibly hard skill are [u]iamShadeY[/u] - YouTube and [u]Nghtly[/u] / 13Devils - YouTube and [u]kjhovey[/u] - YouTube
I think John Weisnewski needs to [u]reduce[/u] the overall aim assist on [b]rez-snipers[/b] and increase the flinch when being shot to increase the required skill to use them and reduce those annoying moments that the someone headshots you mid primary magazine.
( FYI aim assist increases the stickiness of your reticle on you target. It does not pull it towards the target!)

Bearbeitet von xXBrOtHaDEIONXx: 4/10/2016 3:49:04 PMMy opinion: the only game series I've ever respected snipers in was battlefield. That actually took some skill. Almost never did I get killed point blank range with a damn sniper. If that happens on the regular in destiny, and if I can even do it without trying or having remotely any talent in sniping, then that means they are broken af ( or just too easy lol) . This game is dead lol people only came after snipers because everything else got nerfed to shit, all the original players have left because everything sucks dick.its just not fun anymore, everything used to feel strong and I didn't care if someone killed me with a different tactic or set up because I had faith that my tactics and setup were just as good. This game actually used to feel competitive, engaging, accurate, smooth etc. now it just feels clunky, weak, and slow. I haven't played in a while since the division came out, but I still got love for you destiny.
