I want to say first that I flipping suck at sniping in Destiny. I can barely do it and its an absolute shame if you die from me sniping you. I should never kill anyone with a sniper. [b]This is what crappy PvP looks like. [/b] [url]https://youtu.be/1iELgoDeJZc[/url] This was 6v6 freelance mode Admittingly I got angry mid match over all the missed shots and played stupid. But still, I got most my skill from switching to double snipers at the end of the game to make a god damn point. We lost by 20K-7K no mercy..... But still the show in gun ability shows itself. You cannot be a "good" destiny PvP player if you don't use snipers. You just can't and if you are its because your relying on the last word, mida, or your still a bulltshit hunter with a shotgun (pew im invisible pew im behind the corner pew shotgun pew t bag). People aren't complaining about snipers. And even if people are complaining the worst thing you can do is shit on people telling bungie guns are broken. Its like "Hey, my house is on fire." and then the forum replies are like "look at this noob asking for help so his house doesn't burn down. Get good." I'm tired of being angry when playing this game. I'm tired of fireteams of 6 snipers. I didn't pay $60 to play hide and die with these snipers in PvP. I think the best thing about snipers to avoid being shot by a sniper is the same tactic you take when avoiding a super (run opposite direction, wait for them to go away.). Only difference is the sniper can take a super out from distance and a super can't counter that sniper. Snipers are just constant 1 bullet supers the whole match. Body shots do too much damage. I shouldn't have to "get good" and run around the whole -blam!-ing map to get body shot and finished with a primary. [b]Right after that sadfest of a rift match I went into the normal control playlist with my 1k stare equipped....[/b] [url]https://youtu.be/c86fcxOp5L0[/url] I got 2nd place on my team. I got top kills in match (with 23) We won because I sniped someone out while getting a shadowshot shot at me off screen People always say "Show me proof. Show me video of this so called unbalace.". Watch the damn videos. Watch me die 15 times while trying to use a shitty primary hand cannon in PvP. Watch my horrible sniper skills get me 23 kills. I took out a couple supers with my sniper. That's -blam!-ing stupid. There SUPERS they shouldn't be countered with 1 bullet. I at least shouldn't be able to counter supers with 1 bullet. I suck at sniping. Hardscoping is too rewarding. You get to sit away from battle, behind odd angles, off radar, and fire 1 shot kills on people. Lucky drag shots are too easy. People are actively avoiding my sniper and I can quick drag (why is quick dragging even a thing?) and headshot them. Oh, you ran into the open and saw a scope flare, you run away, you still die while avoiding he sniper. Oh, you play safe, you stick your head out this time to check for a sniper, you get hardscoped. Sniping actively boosts your KD and I don't care what anyone says. I rarely and I mean -blam!-ing rarely drop below at least a 1 KD while using a sniper. A 1 KD isn't even good but I am almost guaranteed to get a positive KD when using a sniper. Sniping needs such a huge fix it mite not be fixable till Destiny 2 when I hope they learn to separate PvP and PvE gun updates. Though I would a huge sniper nerf right now to see how it affects the PvE raids (I think it would make them more challenging). Anybody can get the double body shot kill at least. Snipers fire too fast. Snipers do too much body shot damage. Snipers hold too much ammo. I fun tweak I would like would be shooting a guarding in the head with a full overshield doesn't kill them. I feel like the space magic overshield should let you survive a headshot. Making snipers 2 shot kill weapons would be interesting. I hate this current meta of time to kill and long distance killing. It currently makes the radar pointless. It makes supers pointless. And it makes gunfights boring. I feel like a sniper rifle is just a constant golden gun aiming at a small hit box. In conclusion. I made a post complaining about snipers. I provided video proof. Its a long post that most people won't read with 10 minute videos people won't watch. Its inconsistently written because I filled with the rage of a 1,000 sniper headshots deaths. P.S Dip, Dive, Dip, and Dodge only work against 1 sniper. Sadly Destiny doesn't have a 1v1 mode. Most PvP problems revolve whole teams having access to the same slightly over powered gun. You can fight a Last Word, but you can't fight a wall of 6 guardians all shooting the last word at you.
