Snipers are ruining crucible
Before reading any further please keep in mind this post is not a nerf post and im not interested in discussing the effectiveness of snipers. I agree landing headshots consistently takes skill and in no way am i saying snipers are scrubs. So for the meat of the matter...
Snipers (special in general but mainly snipers) is ruining crucible. This is just my opinion of course but facts arnt really up for discussion are they? Thats why its an opinion... anyway, this opinion is based on yet another opinion of what i think makes crucible fun. To me its not killing guardins, if i wanted to kill shit theres 100s of other titles to choose from (COD/BO/BF/GTA). Its definatley not story as its almost non exhistant in pve nevermind pvp. No, what makes destiny special is the DIVERSITY. Not just with 9 different subclasses, but with 4 different primaries each operateing vastly different from each other and each with multiple archtypes and advantages and disadvantages... this is core to the game, the gunplay. But what if anytime you went into a firefight, you died instantly? Where is the gunplay? The diversity? Its gone. This is why i beleive snipers ruin this game. You could argue that all special is equal to blame, however, the radar is going to let you know if anybuddy is nearby, giving everyone in the game an advantage against shotguns, firearms, and fusion rifles. But sniper? "You gotta avoid sniper lanes man"... im so sick of hearing this. Snipers will lock down entire maps and all your left with being able to do is wait. It becomes a waiting game. This statment is salty as hell considering this is their intended operation... but when theyre effective at any range includeing outside of their intended range, the pace slows down even more. I honestly prefered the shotgun meta. you knew they were comeing, they HAD to get close, and it kept the game moving and full of action. What are your thoughts and opinions?
[b]TLDR: this isnt a nerf post or a discusion on effectiveness of snipers or special, but instead a discusion as to how special (but snipers primarily) are (or arnt) ruining crucible[/b]

2 RepliesAgree. I stopped playing religiously because of them. Any other meta I'd still play. But this sniper meta feels too slow and no fun. Boring I must say. And quite often frustrating because I don't want to snipe and no matter where I go or run too, I'm bound to get sniped. Not even heads hots at that, just body shot to death. And sometimes they're so far away, I can't tell where they're at on my radar. I still play from time to time, but not as often like before.

2 RepliesWhile I'm not great at sniping myself, I find the recent shift to snipers somewhat refreshing. SOOO tired of getting blink/sliding shotgunned. Though I would love to see them add descoping when you get hit while ADS.
