Seriously, I snipe, I occasionally hardscope, I switch to primaries when I'm switching spots or with a team. All my flawless runs are because I'm good sniper. So mabye I'm biased or mabye the community is biased because they can't stand getting killed. With increase zoom flinching is more noticeable. Only game I can think of that has decscope zoom is halo with perfect hipfire. If you give us that then we can defiantly break the game with enough practice. If they added descope it would ruin the balance even more and instead a slight majority using snipers it would become everyone using a shot gun. Without a doubt. If you really think snipers are easy to use then use them, go flawless or get beat. I don't care. But stfu about descoping it's never gonna happen without giving perfect hipfire on snipers or turning crucible into shot guns only Edit. Real life situations and purposes of sniper rifles are not acceptable discussion points. I can't believe I have to make a freaking note about this. Also. If your only argument is use a primary, then check first to make sure a shotgun isnt your preferred weapon. Smh Edit 2: alright since alot of people send me private messages calling me a scrub my post isn't that I'm pro sniper. It's that I don't believe as a person who plays crucible routinely and pve religious that descoping isn't the direction to lean towards for an sniper balance. People who are pro descoping are the ones who don't want balance or fairness but uncontested kills with the sniper having no chance.
