Today I was told snipers needed the recent nerf, and we're OP before the nerf.
the argument got a little heated, the person called out my stats so I took a look at his.
on one character
44% of his kills were with a shotgun. (that's nearly half lol dear god)
and he had a 16% precision kill percentage with snipers on that same character.
THAT IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS COMMUNITY.
players who don't use, or can't use a certain weapon cry nerf, and try to get bungo to destroy a perfectly balanced weapon/mechanic to fit their play style.
**EDIT
it's nice to see all of the salty scrubs coming out, doing exactly what I said they do, and then getting upset when I call them out on it lol.
if you have little to no experience with snipers, you don't have a valid opinion on them, and I will call you out on it because YOU are what's wrong with destiny.
Snipers did need the nerf. The flinch nerf was absolutely perfect. Don't agree with the damage nerf though.
Strange that the best shotguns didn't get nerfed. I feel like matador, party crasher types should be tinkered with.
I think special weapons should be for niche situations and I believe snipers are going in a good direction. The high impact hotguns need to follow.
