2.0 Nerfed Snipers
With the nerf of fast time to kill weapons, specifically the last word, and the addition of long range weapons (specifically pulse rifles) being the meta, snipers are put at a huge disadvantage.
Aggressive play style is now completely gone with a sniper. You have nothing to switch to that can counter an up close battle such as a shotgunner. You are forced to stay at the back of the map (which is lame) and even then it is still a disadvantage.
Why snipe when you can use a meta weapon (pulse rifle or scout rifle) and be effective at that range and then also have a secondary slot open for up close combat situations (shotguns, fusion rifles, and sidearms). Using long range primaries also allows you to look left and right because you don't have the disadvantage of a scope.
Snipers are now a detriment more than having any advantage at any range.

1 RespuestaOr you could be like me and use nlb/shotgun combo (;
-
Dude. Snipe with universal remote. Problem solved.
-
Perhaps maybe don't blindly run at people holding a sniper then. Just a thought
-
2 RespuestasAccording to truevanguard, that's not true. The damage dropoff isn't enough to prevent you from killing fools in PVP
-
2 RespuestasCool story bro.
-
Sorry I main a sniper and I don't see the problem this patch. Just alter your playstyle a bit.
-
1 RespuestaI feel like it's a bit early to call that the meta... I've used all gun types with success after the patch. Personally, I feel like snipers are easier to work with post 2.0. The biggest threats are less effective (super long range HC and Hopscotch Pilgrim). It's all about positioning.

Editado por ShootinMyWayOut: 9/13/2015 10:32:29 PMTry an Auto Rifle Sniper combo. Specifically, Hard Light, Suros, Necrochasm, or a Shadow Price tier (Summoner, Vanquisher, Pest Control matrix). The dropoff forces some aggressive sniping very well. I love it. I run Shadow Price and Queenbreaker's bow. Great agressive sniper. Shadow of Veils/Her Benevolence/Longbow snipers are also my go to. Though you can never go wrong with Praedyth's Revenge. I see your point, but don't see much need to nerf the current meta weapons kr buff snipers much. Although, a flinch when hit nerf to snipers would be great and help this problem a lot. Getting peppered really does hurt aggressive sniping.

7 RespuestasAll I've noticed now is that everybody apparently has aimbots now because you can turn the corner and immediately be shot in the head no matter where you are on the map.

I think the people making these threads are the same that complained about Thorn all the time and are pissed that the Nerfs/buffs didn't make them suddenly good at crucible.

Editado por FrostBite-: 9/13/2015 10:28:50 PMUse last word or auto rifle as primary? Whats the problem
-
No land beyond and a shotgun ftw
-
I still roll with TLW and Longbow/Her Benevolence no problem. It feels so much better imo.
-
2 RespuestasThat's how snipers are meant to be played as.
-
1 RespuestaWhat if you try using Universal remote as primary? Your longbow is a Legendary. You can Equip A Exotic .it could work for you as a close combat option.
-
1 RespuestaI still roll with red death and efrideets as I did before 2.0...I guess it only affects "certain" people.
-
12 RespuestasYou havent noticed this nerf with snipers aim assist has gone. My longbow now moves super free when looking at a target no snap anymore they have nerfed aim assist in snipers whats the point in sniping any more when the risk is no rewards lol
-
Editado por Sas: 9/11/2015 12:41:42 PMI'm using hawkmoon and doing fine. Hawkmoon takes care of medium and close, sniper covers long and medium. And sometimes close. Well, often times close.
-
I don't feel like it's intended as a nerf but my favorite negative aim assist sniper scope "Ambush" has been changed graphically. Not a huge fan of the scope clutter
-
Why snipe when you could snipe ?
-
1 RespuestaUniversal remote Autos (Necros great for close range) Thorn is still pretty powerful. Shotguns got nerfed and it doesnt seem many people are using them - I wouldnt know how bad they are up close though, I hated them and always ran a sniper. Ive been doing good with my Monte Carlo/ Low-grade humility combo
-
What are you even talking about? Just get good at short range sniping. It's not even hard.
-
Snipers also got damage fall off in 2.0 :( The range that fall off occurs will only happen in pve though so no worries in pvp.
-
Universal Remote and a sniper is a deadly combo. I didn't have any issues sniping last night. If anything, moving away from high impact snipers is a good thing. It's going to hurt players who aim for the center of mass, but it's going to reward precision. Headshots are still a OHK and lower zoom scopes make low recoil snipers extremely effective at medium range.
-
Lol no it didn't. I am mediocre at sniping (at best) and I was working kids medium to long range with the gunsmith omolon sniper yesterday. You just gotta play smart and not put yourself in overly vulnerable positions. Half the battle in the crucible is good timing and better positioning
