Snipers

So let's talk about snipers , you the weapon that kills you from the back of the map or two feet from you. So on the April update there was a slight nerf to snipers which some say didn't do anything to snipers, which in some ways is true well personal I didn't know much difference after the update. But as I scroll through the forums I see complaint about how snipers are still op and some of the fix people are asking for are fair and some will just completely destroy the class. So let take a look at some for the suggested fixes to sniper. Add sway: So most sniper nerf post will suggest bungie put sway on snipers when ADS, yes this will make it harder to be quick scoped. But this will cause a bigger problem, adding sway to snipers will encourage hard scoping which in the sniper community is frowned upon, will slow down gameplay even more. Remove AA: AA or otherwise known as aim assist is on every weapon in destiny beside rockets. But some say snipers shouldn't have AA, well let's take a look how AA works and some of the myths around it. First off AA only works by ADS, myth AA doesn't curve bullets as some people believe, AA only activates when you place the reticle over the hit boxes on enemies, which leads to another myth AA doesn't aim for you and finally AA slows down the reticle as you move it over the hit boxes. So should it be remove well that tough one, I personal say no as if they do than AA should be removed from all weapons and than within an hour we have people complaining about that. One shot kill (OSK): Now out of the the changes I seen this one amazes me that someone even suggest that sniper no longer be OSK but shotgun remain to be. To kill someone with sniper in one shot when they are full health you have to hit the head, shotgun to one shot someone must hit them from the knees and up. I don't know what to say about this idea to change them beside that the person who suggested maybe should stop play FPS all together. More flinch: Now this idea is sound in a lot of ways. As of now flinch is predictable a good sniper can time it right so even if they are be shot they can use the flinch to their advantage and still get the kill. So how to fix this simply slightly increase flinch and make it so that flinching is predictable. De-scoping: Another sound idea to fix snipers. So people are asking that if you get hit while ADS you should be knocked out of your scope. Will the only way I see this working is if you land 2-3 shots to the head than the sniper should be de scoped. So in my opinion flinching and de scoping should be added to snipers but should be handle careful or it will completely destroy the class. I will like to see what everyone else thinks about snipers.
