Snipers are whatever you want them to be guardian, bane, or blessing. Although I do hate them. Let's see what kind of biases are out there.
Edit 1: After over 100 responses, so far, "Git gud, scrub" seems to be winning. I love this game and community!
Edit 2: After 200 plus responses, it is official. "Git gud, scrub." Snipers are officially fine. Although for my taste, there would be more sway in the target reticle. And if you snipe me, prepare for me to trek around to try to flank you in revenge :)
Edit 3: So, I have 151 peeps who say "Git Gud," 57 who think they are OP, 47 who think they can zoom too quick, 18 who say they are OP. So revisiting this post, I'd say that the community is mixed/split on this one. Snipers love 'em, anyone who does not snipe does not. Which we already knew.
And 26 say nerf fusions. Lol.

Why does every one want scope sway? that would make snipers impossible to use because game it to fast paced. And if people still used snipers with sway, they would just be camping
-
Well you can't win osiris because of sniper abuse. 6 times 8-0, and there is another full sniper team. I'm not a good sniper but you can't win without it.
-
Nerf fusions of course
-
I'm just curious. How many people only play Destiny and nothing else? How many people have never played another fps besides Destiny?
-
Sooo i have a theory. I think flinch in this game doesnt work as they intend... i think that when u light up a sniper with primary due to lag it doesnt enact the flinch on the snipers screen quick enough. Therefore when he scopes in on u while ur firing he still gets the headshot. I think they need to look at flinch and revamp it a bit not only in that respect but make scout headshots flinch more depending on archtype. (Example slow firing scouts should cause more flinch than mida)

I was a decent sniper in halo 2 but this is ridiculous. They should take off the aim assist for just one week then see how many kills are scored and the case would be closed.

Edited by Zoey: 5/12/2016 12:50:24 PMThey were fine BEFORE the nerf. I can't believe people were getting pissed off at people being good enough to reliably quickscope, since when was skill a reason to nerf something? -_-
-
Why is "nerf fusion rifles" an option. Handcannons are what really need to be nerfed.
-
The aim assist is to much...
-
Git gud scrub "
-
They're fine where they are.
-
I never had a problem with them quickscoping but if I pepper them with my primary I don't want to get domed after the 3rd headshot ...
-
Not a fan of them being able to headshot me while moving and bring able to quick scope/half scope/no scope me when I got the drop on them shame Mida now takes an extra shot and they don't straggler anymore that was so damn good about it.
-
Please remove "nerf fusion rifles." I'm legit scared that bungie will listen to that.

Edited by Kirby235711: 5/11/2016 12:40:40 AMReally, the only adjustments I'd like are small damage increases to higher RoF snipers and increased general special weapon resistance from ultras. Maybe a small decrease to movement speed, but that's probably pushing it. Other than that, the fault is in the weakness of other specials, the size and slowness of bosses, and the AI's inability to get into cover. Wait, am I the only one here with a PvE-based opinion? Huh.
-
Just not a fan of their body shot damage or able to land headshots under fire. Other than that, okay.
-
LEAVE...FUSION...RIFLES...ALONE!
