What do you think of the idea? Dont get me wrong: I hate the pansies that say snipers are too op, and cry for nerfs. My answer to them is: get skills. Adapt or go play mario kart on easy mode.
That being said, some would agree that snipers can be a bit much. So here is my bright idea: instead of f****** nerfs, build something like a helmet that balances the snipers power. A helmet that has a 50% (or 25% for that matter) chance of deflecting headshots (not bodyshots) could be a fun addition to the game. What do you think?
Edit: Alot of you seem to think this is a bad idea. I respect that. I was just throwing an idea out there. But I am still curious: what do you think would be an interesting/fun way to balance sniper power without nerfing?

Interesting concept. Please expand upon 'deflect' though. I understand the percentage chance to deflect, but what percentage of damage are you suggesting the deflection reduces the damage by? If 100%, then no.

7 commentairesAbsent Minded All-class helmet. 50% chance to deflect head shots. Your Intellect stat is reduced to 0.

Make Shotguns Great Again

Who needs that when you can connect your console to your phone hotspot.

I feel like some people allready have that exotic. http://xboxclips.com/macnetism/8713acc4-cfa5-46bd-88ae-df329fa47762

How about Crest of Alpha Lupi and HOPF cut body shot damage in half
-
-
No. Maybe deflect bodies, but if you get hit in the head, you shot be dead. End of discussion.
-
Sounds like a good idea, but I think 50% is too high. Maybe more like 25% chance or less. If it was 50%, you'd effectively negate snipers pretty much altogether. That's not balance.

Take all those phantom hand cannon bullets, and give them to snipers.

7 commentairesThrowing in random chances of this caliber is an extremely bad idea for pvp. It shouldn't come down to luck. Snipers either need to be heavy weapons, or there needs to be descoping when you take damage just like Halo always did it.
-
That'd be good.
-
I'll take any -blam!-ing helmet as long as it's 335. I keep getting everything but a damn helmet. That's all I need on all three characters.
-
No. Definitely not.
-
There is literally nothing wrong with snipers.. even the maps are shotgun favored. Only thing is that one good sniper on a enemy team can ruin your team more then 6 shotgunners. The problem isnt snipers as a weapon its the skill of the user. So nerf skill? And please spare me the crap that sniping requires no skill. Because a shotgun/fusion/sidearm/primary takes just as much skill.
-
lol that'd be funny. Tanking headshots from a mile away and then coming up close to smack him silly.
-
No, go away
-
Dumb and op
-
-blam!-ing stupid.
-
It would be even worse because people would use high fire rate snipers and double body shot everyone instead of going for headshots
-
Can't we just make it so [b]ALL[/b] sniper scopes give no boosts to stats whatsoever
-
That would encourage body shots, it would be better if it did that to body shots instead
-
To high of percentage. Highest possible would have to be 25%.
-
1 commentaireThey should do this tho.. And then make a sniper rifle with a 150% head shot kill rate lol
-
Just make it have a cost in some other way not sure how and then you sacrifice something to use it making it less used. I do think exotics that do random things are pretty cool and make you think instead of the all around balanced ones ( actually seems most exotic armor pieces have just one ability that matches one sub class or play style. Maybe blocks head shots but when proc takes half your super down and has a cool down.
