It's not that they one hit knock out any target at max impact. It's not because they had a lot of rounds in reserve. It's not even because they have high aim assist. - - - It's because they cannot be challenged. A perfect sniper will win 100/100 encounters at every single distance, from 1 foot from their face, to 100 yards away, with the current scope feature. I have been killed by a sniper when in punch range and shotgun range before I can punch and/or pull the trigger. - - - Snipers WERE NEVER meant to be *The Last Word* but with a single bullet from any range. Here is what I think needs to be done, in order for snipers to be used in the SCOUT METHOD they were always meant to be used in : 1.) When hit in the head, while Aiming Down Sights, you are pulled out of sniper scope. You are then punished with a 3 second cool down, in which you cannot Aim Down Sights. This can be negated by switching weapons, or by having the perk "Unflinching" If you have the perk "Unflinching" you are STILL pulled out of sights, but can immediately take aim again. 2.) You can no longer "quick scope" into Aiming Down sights in any format. The longer range the sight, the more seconds it takes to get into full zoom. The shorter the sight, the less seconds it takes to get into full zoom. - - - These changes will stop snipers from camping in high volume areas, where they absolutely cannot lose a 1v1 situation, even when taking direct headshots from a superior skilled Scout Rifle user (or even another sniper, who may be using a lower-impact sniper instead of a max impact sniper) It will also stop snipers from countering shotguns and melees and point blank range. - - - Destiny snipers work on a facet that I've never seen for any other game. They are the ultimate weapons, better than any other singular weapon in the game, including Truth. Or any other exotic, for that matter. As it stand, if you are a Perfect Sniper, you will never lose against any weapon at any range no matter what, unless against another Perfect Sniper. I do not understand how you can wield a sniper rifle, and when shot directly in the face, still remain in zoom. Sniper scopes are the heaviest and longest scopes in the game. I do not understand how you can get into Aim Down Sights faster on a sniper rifle, than a person can pull the trigger on a shotgun, or punch you with their fist. - - - I would revert snipers back to all their Vanilla Glory, but impose extreme restrictions on Aim Down Sight time, and Scope Resilience when shot directly in the face. -TFO-
