(disclaimer: total rant) Am I the only one who [i]really[/i] dislikes snipers becoming more and more prevalent, especially towards the higher skill-brackets? Mind you this is PC / MnKB. Might be anecdotal but feels like past few weeks/months there's been an increasing trend where more and more folks have adapted the (very effective mind you) style of [i]sitting in a select spot with a snipe holding the tightest angle possible and waiting for someone to walk into your crosshair[/i] -sorta playstyle. The relatively low-flinch coupled with the rather enormous head hitboxes doesn't help in providing sensible counterplay. I would know, since I'm an average sniper at best and it's still easy enough in this game that I've gotten upwards over 4k crucible sniper kills in total (there's better folks with a lot more, just giving the number to make a point). You can hose a sniper at 30-40 meters with that range's primary and they'll still get the headshot on you as often as not. If nothing else the p2p latency will give it to them, since in their screen they shot before the flinch ever happened properly. Sniping in this game is not hard when you compare it to other FPSs. Note that I don't blame folks for doing it. I can grab a sniper and counterplay playing corners like it's CSGO. But honestly when this becomes the QP experience with +3-4 snipers stuffed into the opposing team in the already too small maps we got, it becomes something I genuinely don't enjoy. Other games do that sorta stuff better. Least with shorter range engagements I get to utilize the great movement mechanics coupled with the gunplay, which I do enjoy quite a lot in this game specifically. Not calling for nerfs or the like. Just getting that out of the system. Now I'll get back to getting good as someone will probably advise me to.
