But...but...sniping is skilled YoU HaVe tO AiM. LOL. I swear i never hated so much snipers than in destiny. Every sniper meta has been pure hell since d1. If you wanna be competitive now you gotta have a sniper in your team that gets the first kill. Snipers are just slowing down the gameplay (if people are 3peaking its not only to get super but mainly to not be one shoted as this practice became highly present only since snipers are everywhere and effective in the worst hands) They are easy to use (i never snipe in fps and im still able to beat players who are obviously playing sniper way more than i do...but only in destiny XD) They are really forgiving against non sniper players. Worst case....you miss a shot and you go to cover...waw...such high risk high reward gameplay. Special mention to revoker here X) Handling and aim speed is too fast for this kind of weapon. Flinch isnt a counter to snipers (hell you just have to aim at the body if somebody is shooting at you and you have high chances to get a headshot ) And lets not even talk about the absurd aim assist and bodyshot damage. But thats how it is...sniperd have this reputation of "skilled weapons" in fps. So people think its always skilled to snipe... I would answer yes, it is skilled to snipe in a game where flinch makes you miss and autoriffles can kill you in 3 shots or so. But its not the case in destiny because of slow time to kill. (I love the pace of this game in terms of time to kill, but in consequence snipers should be less forgiving as you have less counters and way more time to aim)
