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.

snipers should have zero assist or magnetism (providing they are different stats) and getting hit while aiming your scope should have a noticeable effect. when being hit snipers should not be able to keep aiming steady at you like there was nothing going on. Snipers are a one shot kill weapons, it should be really hard to land that shot and really take skills. Im a mediocre sniper, yet, I keep landing headshots, even when Im pretty sure I was off by a few feet.
