Solution: They're good. You're not. No offence. You did say it yourself, sniper players have countered back with a headshot while getting shot at to kill you quickly. You've tried it, but it didn't go your way. You attempted the same strategy, but since it didn't work for YOU, it's OP. Personally, I don't see them OP. I just stay in places where they have a disadvantage.

Close range sniping while both players are running or jumping through the air is the most broken part of destiny there has ever been IMO!

They r definitely better than other weapons atm but that's just because they're basically the only original special weapons to not b nerfed. This shows me that instead of nerfing them to make another special weapon OP (sidearms would b next) we should buff shotguns FR's and sidearms to contend with snipers, and while we r at it lets buff most of the primaries back to when they were all good, no AR nerf, first PR buff, slight reduction to range on original HC's but that's it. First nerf to TLW thorn and suros, and the vex post buff. All specials stay day one values, except sidearms get a buff to b 3 shots to the head because there was a huge variety of special weapons in year one. Special ammo drops should b reverted back to year one drop rates, same with heavy ammo. Heavy ammo drops when u kill an enemy with heavy ammo, same with special ammo. Scouts get a slight buff to become useable. Arc bolt buffed to do 120 damage, arc blade buffed to one shot any super (unless given bonus armor by perk in subclass) sunsinger put back to original everything (including fire bolts and Viking funeral, suck it up they weren't OP) any Hunter nerf added in last update is reverted cause those were unneeded (except the smoke nerf) twilight garrisons nerf is removed, Titans stay the same fairly balanced. This would b the perfect meta imo

Every gun that could challenge a sniper has been nerfed. Think about it before asking for nerfs

"The cycle will continue"

Agreed, getting quick scoped at 5 feet away by the same person 5 times in a row is not balanced. Those who protect snipers are scrubs because they say it takes skill, so you guys know, snipers do not take skill.

I used two to the morgue get 35 kill only using that Used sniper with skill get 28 kills Man your

Honestly they need to buff shotguns again, not to what they were in year 1, but at least increase the damage and range, you can shotgun people from 5 feet away and not always kills

What takes more skill shotgunning or sniping I need to know how the community feels
