5 reasons why snipers in Destiny are overpowered.
1: No descope: If a sniper is taking fire they should descope to keep them away from close to mid range combat. And if there isn't descope, then devs should implement a more severe flinch reaction. I don't know how many times i've been getting head shots on a snipers face while they just stand there and one shot me.
2: Snipers have great weapon handling and speed in Destiny: You can equip, aim and fire a sniper super fast. In other fps you don't get that luxury. Snipers in Destiny is easy mode.
3: Ammo and perks. Even after the ammo nerf snipers can still troll the whole match using a sniper. The ammo nerf in PvP really did nothing to limit snipers ability to use their scrub terror on everyone.
4: Hitscan. In Destiny snipers don't have to worry about bullet physics or where an enemy will be in a split second. All you have to do is line a shot up ( or somewhat close to it with that ridiculous aim assist) and fire without taking into consideration the movement of the enemy.
5: Getting killed up close or mid range by snipers: It should just be impossible for snipers to pull this off. It's the equivalent of a shotgunner taking you out across the map. Snipers should not have the capability to take you out at close range.

Looks like someone can't handle getting killed by the most skill indexed weapon in the game

How about you stay out of sniping lanes and/or when you learn a snipers positions. Move to another spot and resnipe or primary them. Most snipers are fixated on the one area they are focused on. Countering a sniper isn't hard. If you a good sniper yourself go toe to toe see who lives out snipe the sniper. Nerf shotguns they are to OP at handshaking range lmao
-
Bump. Make them slow. While moving, aiming, switching weapons!
-
Descope would fix almost every frustration players have, also yr1 thorn last word could easily counter a sniper. Now our primaries are better to throw at them then shoot bullets. However the primary balance is at its best! :%
-
all 5 point you have made are retarded and show that you are mentally challanged
-
I agree with a descope feature but only if it activates after you get a kill. Theres plenty of perks that would be useless if otherwise. But number 5. You just sound selfish and it seems like maybe you have a lack of skill with a sniper? Not sure, but iv never had problems with them from a far or from up close and i didnt even get good with them till yr 2. Yr 1, i was the guy complaining they would too broken. Now i see they were more balanced but they're still not anything to worry about if you're a competent enough player that knows how to counter a sniper team.

As much as I hate sniping In the crucible any major changes would have drastic effects on pve game play. So just suck it and tbag them that's all I do.

The issue destiny faces with snipers, is how fast paced it is in the crucible. Destiny cannot expect players to sit in a corner for 30 seconds waiting for a kill, when this game has no cover effective enough for a slow paced sniping game. Destiny has to have snipers be fast enough to compete with other weapons, but slow enough to not be rewarding in CQB. This is a tough balancing act considering destiny does not have a wide variety of game types, and a max of 12 players per server in crucible. The issues with what players want. A majority of the community wants slow paced snipers, like in real life. Snipers sit back, and they wait. They support front line assault rushes. In destiny, there are no maps large enough to support this playstyle. When you do have a large map, the amount of players on the map does not support sitting back and waiting. You can't find players. They just don't come around enough. Issues so far. 1. Lack of map structure to support slow paced sniper game play. 2. Lack of game size to support a reason for snipers to sit back and wait like they are supposed to. Another reason, is weapons. There are no viable solutions for destiny to counter snipers at long ranges. So they are forced to keep maps small so players can get to snipers fast, while still keeping snipers at somewhat of a distance. Destiny just isn't experienced enough in order to play snipers any different. De-scoping makes snipers just unplayable. No matter where you are, you're going to be hit by at least 3-4 bullets. You would never get a chance to shoot a sniper. They would become the fusion rifle pre-update. Destiny needs bigger game matches (12v12's), with bigger maps. Then destiny would be able to work on changing sniper gameplay.

1 RespuestaAdvice for Eveyone real quick. DONT GET IN DETTI POSTITONS WHRERE U CAN GET SNIPED. :)
-
Try sniping against War Bulletproof with exact same setup and guns.
-
Bullshit I have to line my shot up perfectly and have to combat strafing while being shot. The thing you aren't understanding is that sure you're hitting the other person but if you miss even once or allow them to take cover a good sniper can line back up and take the one shot that is needed to kill you.
-
Excellent synopsis of what many of us have been saying for months. Bungie has yet to really fix their broken implementation of this class of weapon. #DownWithAgressiveSniping

2 RespuestasEditado por Kirby235711: 5/15/2016 12:14:51 AM4 reasons why snipers are "overpowered" (I prefer the term "overused") in PvE 1. Snipers deal more DpS than almost all other weapons. 2. Bosses are usually slow and have large precision spots, making snipers easy to use. 3. Enemy AI doesn't quite understand how to get in cover. 4. Almost every other special weapon has been nerfed into oblivion.

2 RespuestasBump. The scopes have no wobble like in other games, bungie needs to make using a sniper harder than it is. I agree, I got one hit by a hunter in the middle of a triple jump wearing the bones. That shot is impossible, pretty sure the guy was using an aim bot. If he wasn't this is an example of how snipers in this game are to easy to use. If you are going to reap the rewards of a one shot kill from the other side of the map, you need to earn it. Some of the shots I've seen people make, are only possible in this game, what's that tell you

Snipers in destiny should just work like snipers in battlefield 4
-
Well most of this is just opinion that is wrong, aim assist gives it a sticky feeling when going over opponents, it will never curve bullets in destiny. try halo 5 that game has descope, but it has perfect hipfire accuracy and in halo AA gives snipers tracking rounds... despite the descope snipers are so easy to use. Snipers should be able to shoot you from 5 feet away with tons of skill, it should just be vary hard.
-
Lmao so many people are just now crying about snipers and they've been in a game for a whole year, while not receiving any significant buffs.

1 RespuestaSnipers are used the most also because look at the alternatives. 1. Sidearms LOL. 2. Fusion rifles can't shoot across a map to counter snipers. And they actually require timing, patience and skill to use. 3. Shotguns can't shoot across the map to counter snipers and also lack the power a shotgun should have. But to be truthful, I didn't stop playing Crucible and Trials because I was sick and tired of getting sniped (so bloody sick and tired)... I stopped playing because the rewards are few and far between and usually garbage. "You suffered through 7 matches of Trials of Snipers? Here's another Ghost, that makes 7 right? Lol" Screaming frustration and never doing Trials again. Frustration abated.

5 RespuestasEditado por KSI Shepard: 5/14/2016 10:39:54 PM1.) PVE. AI aimbot don't stop when scoped in. 2.) same is said for (almost) all weapons. Snipers don't have this to just them. 3.) snipers in PVP don't get many kills anyway if used the whole time. Opens them up to be rushed. And this nerf hit PVE hard regardless. Killing ammo again is redundant. Also, same can be said for all specials (except mabye fusions) 4.) all destiny weapons except rockets and fusions are hit scan. 5.) bullets don't do less damage when you get closer to the barrel. 6.) it takes a degree of skill to use any weapon well. Extra.) I'm shit with snipers except PVE. So there isn't a "sniper bias" here.
-
3 RespuestasThen go play another FPS instead of trying to change Destiny. It's pretty simple really. You're happy because you're playing a game where you're apparently not going to get sniped anymore and we're happy because you're not here anymore.

3 RespuestasEditado por Xii Alpha iiXx: 5/14/2016 10:41:42 PMThe best way to deal with people who use easy weapons.....use easy weapons. If something is a cheese get over yourself and cheese it up. I like my hand cannon and sidearm but in Trials or Iron Banner I use Doctrine of Easy and my 1000ys or my god roll part crasher. Problem solved.
-
Snipers don't want to touch this. Lol. There is no counter argument.
-
I forgot one.....It takes no skill to use a sniper. Hence, why everyone uses a sniper. Kind of like thorn before the nerf. Just a bunch of easy kills.
