[b]EDIT: [i]flinch isn't even as bad as we all thought it was going to be, sniping is still just as easy, it's a sad sad day when an auto with high caliber rounds can't cause enough flinch to make a sniper rifle inaccurate [/i][/b] [u]stay frosty out there[/u]
it's all over the place.. Everyone is upset about the change to snipers (most notably, the added flinch)
Personally, I love the change. It creates a much bigger skill gap. We used to get scared coming around a corner and some asshole is just crouched hardscoping with a glare (probably been there for 2 mintues). Now? We get excited because our primary will keep them at bay.. now if they happen to get a headshot, it was a lucky mishap (or they are really good) can't get mad at that..
Being honest. The added flinch was much needed. Making it very hard to hit previously easy shots.
I just find it funny that a lot of people are contemplating quiting sniping or destiny altogether because the easy sniping "fun" factor is gone.. [b]perfect exapmle of all the sheep that play this game and need the "Meta" to compete[/b]
Thoughts? Opinions?
Edit: a lot of people didn't like the damage nerf. But it makes sense. Only the highest impact snipers (if any) should be able to one shot someone out of a super.

I kind of stopped using 1kys and the like a month before the patch. I've been exclusively using NLB and I really like it. I'm glad supers can no longer be one shotted. This nerf was needed. Now they are going to ask for the nerf to shotguns and fusions.

I am happy

I still tend to sway to fusion rifles. Maybe bungie needs to nerf them again?
-
The only issue I have is that they took away the ability to snipe people out of their supers. That was something that was very challenging and rewarding to do before, yet now only the two highest impact snipers are capable of it, and it's a shame. Otherwise snipers are still really good, just in the way that they're supposed to be. They were never meant to be a weapon with which you can run around close range maps and land perfect headshots while being unloaded at with primary weapons.

1 RispondiModificato da Stormblessed: 9/11/2016 1:19:41 PMAs a sniper, the only thing I really could complain about was the way they added the flinch. In my opinion, it should start at 25, because one shot shouldn't mess you up that bad unless it's a hand cannon, and then rise extremely rapidly to full flinch.

2 RisposteAll they need to do now is give fusions a small buff and the specials might actually be balanced again.

I have some success with the Anthony XIV but everyone is just used to the 1k stare archetype. Adapt, just adapt.

The sniper changes haven't affected me one bit. Usually if I get hit while I'm scoped in, I disengage from the fight anyway so the flinch doesn't bother me. Most of the people that are upset about this are the clowns that want to hard scope you from 5 feet away or walk around scoped in.

East sniping gone? Oh no!!!!

You love shotguns and cramp on snipers...... really? Talking about a crutch look at those shitties, sorry i mean shotties.
