Sniper Aim Assist
Before all you "snipers" start complaining let me ask, what us the point of a sniper? Precision. Snipers are meant for those with pinpoint accuracy. Aim assist takes that and makes sniping way too cheap. I cant count how many times I've played skirmish with an enemy team full of snipers sitting in one spot landing headshot after headshot. As soon as Aim Assist on snipers go, we will see who the real snipers are.
Also dont use the argument that "snipers take skill" because it doesnt take any skill to sit on the other side of the map aiming down to get a headshot (WITH AIM ASSIST).
Im interested to see what you guys think. Please let me know.
Edit: For those who are claiming "Aim assist will just make skillful snipers better" I just want to go ahead and clarify that my target are people who get lucky with headshots all the time and just sit in the back and watch corners, hence me using the word "Sniper" in quotes. I honestly dont mind if a skillful sniper takes me out without Aim assist, props to them.

[/quote] Honestly I agree that aim assit is a little high on some snipers. I myself prefer a sniper like stillpiercer with a more passive aim assit value but I quoted you because the problem is you and your team not the snipers in this instance. If a team is staying in one spot and sniping it's likely that your counter stragedy is bad. Walking/sprinting into a snipers sight line is basically giving the kill away because your head is at head level. People are predictable and it makes sniping easier. [spoiler]I'm in no way a master but I'd say I'm pretty good. I have a 76.3% precision ratio with snipers in crucible on my hunter (: Meaning 3/4 of my snipes are headshots. Don't think aim assit handed me all those headshots[/spoiler]
