Bungie seems bothered that one of the largest adopted weapons ever in destiny is the 1000 Yard Stare, when it is largely their fault in the first place. Two of the most popular game types in Destiny PVP involve resurrections (Trials and Skirmish), making snipers with the ability to kill off of a resurrection the most appealing. Currently in game there are only four snipers that can do so, being the 1000 Yard Stare, Eirene RR4, The Black Spindle, and Still Piercer. The 1K Stare is not only the most easily obtainable from this group, but its not class specific or an exotic (The last two apply to the Eirene, but c'mon, most who have tried it have dismantled it shortly after). Based on those characteristics alone it would be a pretty safe assumption that it would be the most popular. In the April Update, resurrection shields will now be affected by precision damage, opening up many other sniper archetypes to the res sniping arena. If there is a much larger pool of snipers that can accomplish the most sought after task, when players start to get their new snipers the popularity of the 1K stare will eventually drop. I am very happy that more snipers will be usable and those god rolls on random snipers will be relevant now. My issue is that now the 1K stare will actually be behind most of the field, carrying even less ammo than the across the board reduction. I know some will say a few bullets is nothing, but that will likely result in at least one less round per special box opening. That adds up over a game and every round is valuable in a special economy that will be becoming even more scarce. I'll admit I'm particularly annoyed because I've spent nearly every legendary mark I've earned and run countless heroics/nightfalls throughout TTK to get a decent 1000-yard stare only to have it fall behind the pack because it's too 'popular'. Nerfing a weapon because it is popular is another argument in itself, but I would only ask that it not receive an additional ammo reduction for that reason. Now that more can res snipe, just let it run its natural course as players set it aside for something they prefer instead of trying to force us into new options because you think we should use different weapons. TL;DR: The 1000-Yard Stare was primed to be over used through the lack of alternatives and is having its ammo reduced on top of the initial decrease largely due to it being so popular. EDIT: To clarify, I am referring to the additional ammo nerf for the 1000-Yard Stare ONLY on top of the ammo reduction across the board for snipers. I don't have a problem with the blanketed ammo reduction, just the focus on the 1000-Yard Stare.
