Snipers may be the most skilled, but do they really have a high learning curve in Destiny, if not, a learning curve at all? Let's see why I believe they need nerfing:
-Very High Target Acquisition
-Low Recoil (Most snipers don't even need stability perks.This allows players to follow up shots extremely easy. This combined with the ROF is a nightmare.)
-No Sway (Sway only exists on one sniper. The lack of sway makes follow up kills extremely easy to get. For example, camping orbs)
-No bullet drop, or velocity limitations (Whether it is "futuristic" or not, it's still relevant to my point.)
-High rates of fire (Similar to scout rifles. Not all snipers have this, but spraying and praying for a 2 hit kill is pretty crazy.)
-Head shot hit markers are big
-The Number of Semi high ROF snipers added make bolt action snipers completely obsolete in effectiveness (Matter of fact, why does the NLB have sway, yet other snipers don't?)
-Felwinter's Lie Party Crasher Judgement 6 AND Matador have all these statistics. Stop calling them shotguns, because they really aren't. I main these snipers, so I know how OP they are.
-Can outgun regular CQC weapons because of all listed above Maps may be small, but choke points and open rooms are big problems)
Other than that, they're completely fine and only skilled players can use them, right?(Obvious sarcasm)
No, but seriously, something needs to be done about this. Anyone else agree? I'd love the community's feedback.
Edit: Some of my points I have made have been slightly changed, thanks to the constructive criticism I have gotten from some. Glad to see everyone isn't being a n a z i over simple criticism.
Edit 2:( To negative comments)Listen, sweaty tryhard.
All I'm saying is that take away the controller and give a sniper to a PC gamer with a mouse and sniping becomes a point and click adventure game is all. No need for crying over my opinions, guys.
Edit 3: Just what in the -blam!- are people talking about SATIRE for? I thought that was cartoons. Come on guys, really?????????
Edit 4: Yeah... People are still too oblivious, ignorant and just plain stupid to realize the point of this post, even after trying to make it blatant and obvious. Talking shit is also getting tired some, rather than fun, with all the constant replies. Time to add the missing hashtag.
Edit 5: To those who think I added the satire tag as a form of damage control, just know that this post has always been a joke I've added many things to this post to show I was clearly joking. For example, I didn't have the shotgun=sniper joke added to my post, and The irony of the "love the community's feedback" is obvious, when I'm arguing with everyone about something dumb. Also, I clearly click bait by saying "Snipers are OP Here's a short reason why", the key word being "short" . I thought it was obvious trolling at first but apparently not, so I added the tag. Long story short: Stop crying, take a joke, and enjoy your snipers. They're not going anywhere and shouldn't. by saying "Snipers are OP Here's a short reason why", the key word being "short" . I thought it was obvious trolling at first but apparently not, so I added the tag. (I did create a secondary post to keep trolling, though.)
Long story short: Stop crying, take a joke, and enjoy your snipers. They're not going anywhere and shouldn't. (Except shotguns.)
