So Bungie recently nerfed snipers. I wasn't a big fan of using snipers, but I could use one if I had to. Now they nerfed the ability to shut down supers with high impact snipers. Why?
[spoiler]you know why Sunbreaker was op the the begging of TTK? Because nothing could kill it, it was an insane killing machine for 13 seconds. Back then only the Black Spindle could kill it, and no one uses that in PvP. Now they've done that again with ALL supers. How often do you kill a super with a primary? [/spoiler]
I wasn't one of those people asking for sniper nerfs, in fact I defended snipers when I saw a nerf snipers post. But this went overboard Bungie. This is what your community says you do. Give nerfs to things that may need a very slight nerf or even a buff and go extremely over board. You know what 80% of the community wanted, bring tripmines and throwing knives back. You know what we get? A nerfed thorn.
Yes, Bungie nerfed thorn. Why? Because people in this community suck ass in the crucible.
But my real question is, why is no one talking about it? This community is toxic as hell and I haven't seen any posts about it. What? Is Bungie paying people to keep quite? Did I miss the memo, because I want my money.

1 返信No one is talking about it because it's not worth getting your panties in a wad over it. Let's talk positive here: Who here likes the new Truth ornament? (The gold one)

4 通の返信Subreaker was OP because it could take a rocket to the face, a whole machine gun mag, a Nova bomb, all bladedancer strikes and nuclear warhead crammed up it's butt hole. A sniper shot to the head never took down sunbreakers. That's why they were OP. Now you have more variety of taking them down but in all honesty, there should only be a select [b]few[/b] options in taking down a roaming super, otherwise the tactic is to [b][i][u]RUN THE -blam!- AWAY[/u][/i][/b]

3 通の返信They aren't talking about snipers much because snipers needed some sort of change to make them much more balanced. Even most snipers agreed something needed to be done.

So, your logic is; What? The community isn't being toxic about this nerf! I gotta do my part! [spoiler]but on a serious note this means you have to be more creative when dealing with supers. It isn't a terrible change, and it won't change much since shooting a roaming super out was situational, but it's not going to be as bad as you make it.[/spoiler]

6 通の返信Elitespearにより編集済み: 9/9/2016 1:24:46 PMHey don't worry, you can still stop them with max impact snipers. Wait did I say snipers as in plural? No wait, [u]the[/u] max impact sniper. Which is exotic. Bungie says they don't want to pigeonhole loadouts - gives you only 1 option. Aside from that, the nerf was necessary though.

13 通の返信The update states that the Black Spindle is now the Super Killer... high impact snipers won't kill a Guardian in their Super "every time". Read the notes and dry your eyes.

1 返信I hope you know that you're the one bringing the toxicity now by wanting to complain about the nerf. I'm a HARDCORE -blam!-ing sniper and I'll use them nerfed or not, but you have to be pretty dumb to not see that they needed a nerf. Snipers are incredibly overused in crucible and this nerf was intended to make people use weapons [i]other[/i] than snipers. I rarely even saw any shotguns at all, much less any other special. As for the inability to headshot supers, I say -blam!- it. Better all of them than only one class being able to survive like back with the sunbreakers.

[/quote] It was largely because cauterize triggered on every kill, and kills were so easy to get due to massive explosions and godly tracking.

Hardly anyone complaining because since snipers got nerfed, they're no longer good with it, so they switched. [spoiler]reminds me when shotguns got nerfed and then most people went to snipers, you see the pattern?:)[/spoiler]
