Snipers Rifles are too strong.
They can be used like shotguns because of aim assist and bullet magnetism by just aiming at head level and crouching, jumping or sliding doesn't seem to prevent a headshot. There are times when I'm watching a lane midrange and someone just turns the corner scoped in, and despite me shooting first...I die. I'm also seeing players just skate by corners land, and headshot. There needs to be ways to counter Sniper Rifles other than Sniper Rifles and high level play is centered around them.
Sniper Rifles need Sway, more flinch, and the headshot hitbox needs to be reduced along with Target Acquisition.
Stop caring about keeping streamers happy and balance the game.

2 RepliesAre we doing this again? It’s the d1 “1k stare is op!!! era again. The amount of people that don’t slide around corners when playing against snipers is astonishing especially given how effective it is. At least you can use your primary to challenge a sniper thanks to all of the flinch (unless they get lucky). Go play primary only against apes/erentil users and then come back and tell me snipers are too good.

3 RepliesWhat are you doing to get killed by a sniper in close quarters? Are you running up to them and dropping your controller? It's a sniper mate, it's already designed to not work well in cqc. You either need a lot of skill or luck to crack a guy in close quarters with a sniper. It doesn't even have a hip fire reticle, if you fire from the hip it's typically just "it'll end up somewhere, don't worry mate". I honestly applaud the people killing you in cqc with a sniper, because that's just great.

Snipers are fine. You’re probably just going against some good sniper users or you’re enemy is just really lucky with their flinch shots. If you know a sniper is looking down a lane then either avoid that lane or push in a way that they won’t expect. Snipers definitely don’t need more flinch or any of the things you mentioned. When getting shot a sniper user has to either A. Fire and pray that they timed the shot well, or B. Shoot between your shots, very risky and probably won’t work out half of the time unless the opponent is using a slow firing weapon. Quit complaining and adapt. Snipers ain’t that good.

2 RepliesUse a scout or a pulse rifle. You can flinch the sniper user into oblivion pretty much. Quick scoping is a thing and some times people are just good at it, other times it's luck and if it keeps happening to you, change how you play. Don't test the good sniper and you won't get sniped, it's simple.

1 ReplyI’ll say that you’re a heck of a stronger PvP player than I am so I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt on this top. I don’t know if Snipers need sway in Destiny overall but I do think that sniper flinch when combined with the generous target acquisition might be the issue at hand. I’ve found more often than not that you can use flitch to your advantage if you use the first hit and the target acquisition does the rest. I wonder if it could be programmed that taking a hit removes or severely lowers the effectiveness of target acquisition? It seems now that the flinch doesn’t lower bullet magnetism and maybe that’s where the balancing lies.

1 ReplyBasically what I’m seeing in your thread is, that if anyone disagrees with you about this they’re apparently an “idiot” and you just mute them. You must be a Democrat.

4 RepliesDisagree rarely get killed by snipers. There was once a time in D1 when sniping was rampant you must not of played to appreciate the differnces between then and now.

3 RepliesThere really is just not one single thing I agree with in your post. I think snipers are one of the best balanced weapon categories in the game.

2 RepliesUh no. We need weapon diversity and right now snipers are in a pretty good spot. Any kind of nerf and we are just pushing more people to shotguns. Seriously in the top hundred pretty sure there is now a nerf shotguns, nerf fusion rifle, and now a nerf snipers thread. This community needs to nerf themselves and stfu.

Dude out here complaining, but I bet he ain't ever try and snipe, I hate shotguns as much as the next dude, but I ain't calling for a nerf, nor is anyone who understands the role of said guns
-
9 RepliesFFS!!! Quit complaining! Snipers are in a really good spot right now. You’re just mad cuz you’re not good with one.. that doesn’t justify a nerf even though Bungie loves nerfing weapons based off of mass amount of people that need to git gud. 😂

12 RepliesHonestly just increase flinch and it'll be fine, sway is too far imo

3 RepliesThe only issue I have with snipers is getting domed when I shooting someone in the face. It doesn’t happen that often though
