I've been sniping since I got Destiny. I've heard people complain about fusion rifles. Nerfed them. Shotties? Nerfed, and then nerfed again. It seems like people are wanting snipers to be nerfed as well? Why? Im not trying to start an argument I just want to hear it from someone who isnt a sniper. I think sniper kills (non-revive) are well earned. You are vunerable while ADS, you can do nothing really if someone rushes while you focus, and its a 100% hit or miss situation. A body shot when theyre behind cover, and you just used your nade is a wasted shot and happens more often than you think. So opinions? Should sniper rifles be nerfed? If so, why do you think that? Open to different opinions. :)
Note: I do think revive snipes are bs. Revive shot gunned is also bs.

Snipers are fine, but special ammo is too prevelant. You shouldn't be able to main your special every game. I say kept everything the same, except you should lose all of your special on death in pvp. Spawn in at the start of the game with the normal amount, after that it's crates. You died? Find a crate.

I'm getting tired of not being able to peek with a primary at range. There's always a homo wait there 30 ft away to instant kill you. It's rediculous the 80% of people can be top tier snipers

2 OdpowiedziI think it's because Bungie is trying to balance shotguns, fusion rifles, and sidearms with each other and forgot about snipers. I do think that they should be considered a bit more when they balance the game, but most people that you find who say "nerf sniperz!" are overdoing it. They're popular in the raid [i]and[/i] in trials. We get it. The main reason that they're popular in the raid is that the enemies you fight there have larger precision spots. I could swear that I headshot taken knights more often than the normal ones too. I have had two ideas for how they should be nerfed: 1. Less aim assist and ADS time 2. Make impact affect base damage less, but increase precision multiplier to keep precision hits as they are. 1 is a pretty simple and obvious idea, but I came up with 2 jokingly while thinking about how since they nerfed luck in the chamber and final round, they should nerf high impact snipers the same way. However, this would not only keep skilled snipers happy, but it would also satisfy the people calling for nerfs. Thoughts?

Everyone's upset because everyone's a little bitch and they instantly cry nerf when someone with superior skill shits on them with a sniper rifle, which takes significantly more skill to use than their play style of choice: just run constantly and snipe people with a shotgun. So they get butthurt and their vaginas get all itchy because you have greater skill than they do and you defeated them with said skill with a weapon that requires large amounts of said skill and they don't like that.

If it can kill them, then they will moan. Generally what I've learnt from my time here.
-
Because people who sit at the end of the map are boring that's why.

Shotguns will soon be getting their 3rd nerf.... People still haven't learnt to use tactics, and insist on running around like maniacs, then wondering why all the shotgunners are wiping the floor with them.... Back to your post: I have played since Beta. I have seen every version of Destiny. Loot Cave back in Vanilla, VoG release date back when I was level 24, etc etc... I have used Shottys, Snipers, Fusions, Sidearms, so on and so forth, and I have to say: Every gun has strengths and weaknesses.... Well until Shotguns are nerfed 6 feet under...

6 OdpowiedziTo be honest (people are going to freak out about this) but I think they should be buffed a bit. Before you stop reading let my tell you my reasonings. I'm not saying you should get a one hit from a body shot it's just I've just started sniping and its TOUGH. Without cranking your sensitivity you've got to be pro skill to get that head shot(I am not) I think they should buff the aim assist for snipes just a slight bit. Let me know what you think
-
It cause with the shotguns nerf snipers became unaposed and people are upswing it as primary's. Which is one of the resons shotguns got nerfed.
-
isn't it obvious? they need something new to complain about.
-
Don't nerf anything. More people are using snipers now so of course the scrubs are getting killed by them more. Now they will begin to cry. I mean Wtf, they can't handle themselves in a cq engagement or long range. Maybe the cry babies should go back to Mario.
-
3 OdpowiedziBecause guns aren't supposed to kill people, they are just there for show, and since bungie listens to the crucibitches about nerfing things, they have their self entitled whining every time they get killed by something
-
Because now that they are making shotguns totally useless there will be no special weapon balance. Even though shotguns were strong a sniper would always win the fight as long as they could get the shotgunner at range but now they are making it so shotguns at close quarters which is their use won't be good. Plus getting res sniped over and over again in trials is getting old real fast.
-
Because, they can't realize that they have always been like this but no one ever used to use em except for a few.
-
I agree that one shots on revive are overpowered and always has been. At least as far as being able to kill before they even control their character.
-
People complaining about snipers and they're getting buffed XD

1 OdpowiedźThe honest answer is because they're -blam!-ing bad at the game. You know how bad players determine something needs to be nerfed? Making the same dumb mistake over and over, then deciding it "can't" be countered. I tea bag every shotgun user I kill now, under the assumption they're one of those "nerf snipers!" babies.
-
People only started thinking snipers were op when the hidden hand bonus came on snipers, thats when everyone started thinking about aim assist.

2 OdpowiedziThe reason why snipers in Destiny are some what unbalanced is not because of 1 issue but rather a combination of multiple things that make them problamatic. The low zoom scopes allow you to use them at A/R range. High Aim assits and little to no rectile movement allows for sniping while walking,running, jumping and sliding. When taking damage, although the rectile moves, it refocuses on the opponents allowing to land shots under fire. Quick scopes lands rectile near or on opponent head as long as the barrell is pointed close to the opponents vicinity. High impact snipers can spam multiple shots in under one second allowing for multiple quick kills. Like I mentioned, it is not that any of these perks alone cause the snipers to be unbalanced but rather combination of everything.
-
Because every other person who uses snipers don't use them properly, stop trying to quickscope you CoD fanboys!
-
8 OdpowiedziEveryone has the same sniper, 1000 yard stare. Is big perk is aim assist, so people are seeing a lot of low skill sniper winning because of that perk. Not because it's unbalanced or overpowered, but because it's overused.
-
HoS got its nerf so now time to move onto other things? I don't know just guessing :p
-
because they cant git gud

Ummmmm every game in existence has had aim assist for the most part. Bo3 is e only next grn fps that took aim assist off snipers. And if I'm not mistaken pc doesn't use aim assist either as mousrs are easier to aim with so. Get off the aim assist band wagon all guns have it so plebs don't get rekt o hard and get discouraged from playing. Shoot guns are no skill guns. I used one for the first year and a half of destiny. I took a 3 month break and now I only snipe cuz its better and less nooby
