Recently in the forums I've seen a lot of people complaining about snipers. Snipers as well as shotguns feel very strong in crucible right now. They aren't op, it's just the fact that primaries are really weak compared to what they use to be. All the nerfs primary weapons have suffered has led us to the current meta of sniper/shotgun. Snipers haven't been a problem since launch, only until primaries ttk (time to kill) has become slower have they become a problem. Snipers aren't op at all, the problem is that primaries no longer pose as great a threat. People can tank more shots and are able to line up their shots easier due to the fact that they have more time to do so. Same thing applies for shotgun users, players can warrior their way to a kill because primaries no longer do as much damage. The best way to fix this would be to buffing primaries. Ttk needs to be faster, somewhere between year 1 and the launch of taken king. Nerfing snipers and shotguns isn't the answer as they r working as intended. Buffing primaries will also encourage more people to engage in primary battles. Nerfing special ammo was a terrible idea as it has only made things worse. For example in trials, they nerfed special on spawn only to find out that players would just wait for special to spawn before pushing up. Special ammo needs to be buffed as well primaries need to be buffed. Nerfing special ammo leads to players just camping special ammo crates and leads to whoever ends up having special the whole game ending with the win. As a top player in the world, and after discussing this topic with other top players, it's pretty obvious what the game needs right now. The challenge is getting the casuals to see what is really needed. I know this game is a casual game but if u truly want ur game to be balanced and not have issues with the competitive side of ur game, u look to the best, most knowledgeable, most skilled players on what the game needs to be balanced and competitive.
