That is what people are crying about right now. This is my take on it. There are 3 techniques in Sniping: (excluding No Scope for obvious reasons) -Hard Scope (simply place your reticle on head heights and wait for enemy to pop out and just quickly react and shoot) -Drag Scope (Sliding your reticle quickly and press shoot when you feel it stops on the enemy) -Quick Scope (Quickly ADS and move reticle on to enemy to shoot) Hard Scopers only are usually beginners. A Decent Sniper usually can hard scope and drag scope. A good Sniper can do all 3 and master how to quick scope and drag scope at the same time. ABOUT AA: AA only helps with Drag Scoping because when sliding your reticle over the enemy the reticle will slows down a bit longer with higher AA. But we are talking about a split of a second here. However, I do think it is not an unfair advantage as a good snipers can easily land shots with lower aim assist snipers. Most people who really complain don't know much about sniping and how AA could affect snipers. ADVISES: -MAP awareness. Do not run blindly into hardscopers area. You 90-100% will get shot down because it is quite easy to land shots while hardscoping (just pure reaction). Don't expect to come in challenge with your primary and win. I, myself never challenge a hard scopers when he/she get to the spot first. -Try sliding and crouching while moving. 90% of snipers cannot even land a single shot on you if you are not on head height. -Smart Flanking. 99% of snipers cannot do anything but to pull out their primary when you are in short range. Their are always mutiple routes on the map that you can take to get away from snipe lanes and get in behind. I will constantly be adding people opinion to my post so it's updated. If you can think of any way that AA can be unfair. please comment below!
