Poll about sniper rifles

Yes, they are fine.

No, there is no real counter play.

Are Snipers fine being able to kill anyone at any range with no real negative repercussions? A shotgun is only effective at close ranges. A fusion rifle is to punish predictable players. While a sniper rifle can one shot at any range with no real downside or counter. Personally I believe snipers should either descope upon rapid precision hits (like halo but made for destiny), or have ready time similar to rockets. It use to be snipers are down the long range corners, but now they can be down any corner at any time. While also ruining the gameplay when everyone has a sniper and just sits back. Destiny is at its best when the gun fights are close or medium range.

  • This is just 2 extremes. Not even a middle ground where it actually is. We could get into the whole flinch/aim assist mechanic debate, but the main problem is that scout and pulse rifles who can do that just have no spot where they can be consistent. Miss one shot with a scout and hell even sometimes when you hit them you get picked off. Then even if you pick up a scout or pulse you're at a disadvantage since auto rifle range is pretty much everywhere on most maps. What are supposed to be the counters to snipers have no other job than that. Just sniper counters. And they're not even consistent in that.

  • You'll have a very biased poll because the community loves snipers too much.
