1000 yard stare meta (discussion)
It's so real out there,another vanguard secondary is dominating the crucible by a huge margin.
Like with conspiracy theory,the average player uses 1000 as a primary. My matches are now me running around the edges of the map to flank lol.
What do you guys think of this drastic change of pace?
Ps: I don't snipe,I gave it a shot during y1,for a while I switched 50/50 depending on map,but overall the playstyle bored me. I like close quarters combat and mid range gun fights. I enjoy shottys(Chaperone especially) fusions and sidearms.
Edit: I'm not asking for nerfs or buffs. Just trying to discuss the new meta
-
I either use that or the IB sniper But come this Tuesday I'll be using chaperone

Video game. Drastic doesn't apply here.

1 OdpowiedźIt's because that is an easy to obtain sniper with the preferred archetype for PvP, the only other sniper easily available with the same archetype is the eriene.

I have been sniping since HoW I used to blink shotty but I decided to snipe and I'm not that bad of a sniper

3 OdpowiedziTry using fusion rifles, you can fück up both shotgunners and snipers.

14 Odpowiedziif i hear one more comment about aim assist, i am going to blow out my freaking brains. you guys are not encountering people that are really utilizing aim assist. you are getting shot by people who are hardscoping hallways, doorways, and choke points. aim assist does not affect that playstyle in any way. you would have the same result with any sniper in the game. i am not referring to the original post here, but the hundreds of posts below that keep harping on aim assist. aim assist does not affect hardscoping. i cannot say it any more plainly.

Jade rabbit usually does the job nicely, silly snipers getting wrecked by a lil bunny wabbit..

I just hate how it's become "Hard scope a doorway edge at head-level, and wait for someone to put their head into your bullet" meta. I know it's the most efficient, and in trials all is fair, but it's still frustrating.

When the game came out I loved fusions (until their first nerf, haven't picked one up since). At that point I switched to sniper long enough to realize it had a garbage roll and I wasn't that great at it. Shortly after, I went to shotgun and stayed with them for all of Y1 primarily because I needed a way to stand a chance against blink shotgunners and I usually played Defender subclass. Only sniper I ever used with moderate success in Y1 was Praedeth's Revenge (I really like having extreme stability on my snipers). I've hated how sidearms feel/handle since they've been introduced. Early in Y2 I got a beautiful roll on a 1000 Yd Stare which gave me 100% stability and firefly. It's like having a higher impact Y2 Praedeth's Revenge. I love how it handled so much that I practiced using snipers again and it is now basically my go-to weapon for secondary slot (but I do still use the raid shotgun on maps that call for it). I like the change - I would rather be sniped, knowing it takes a moderate amount of skill rather than be one-hit by a shotgun from the other end of a hallway. As a player I prefer mid-long range engagements and never liked the slide/shotgun or blink/shotgun metas that were around previously. Maybe it's because as I get older I'm realizing my reaction speed at closer ranges is slipping.

The problem is not with the weapon itself, the problem is with the large amount of special ammo we get. If you only got 4 or 5 bullets per match there would be no problem, people would be forced to use their primary.

Type @ if you want to keep aim assist Type % if you want to remove aim assist

1 OdpowiedźI'd say as a member who's been here since the beta days (long before that actually) That out of all the special arch types snipers are probably going to be the ones the community would prefer to contest with the most. You've already seen how much people hate shotguns. And fusion rifles were killed before they could ever really have a place (rightfully so if you remember the beginning weeks of destiny) and side arms would just be spammy melty guns that no one would like. While I personally don't enjoy using a side arm I find them to be almost as frustrating as a slide shotgunner. You shouldn't underestimate someone with a side arm. At least with snipers people are forced down 2 managable paths. either they can rush around and risk a good chance of missing or they can sit still and basically ask to get picked off after a few kills. Also I'd like to point out that the reason why such things as sniping continue to work is because players become predictable. I'm not anywhere near as good as some people are with snipers. And I can easily slate 90% of my sniper kills come from me predicting how someone is going to behave. You have no idea how many people sprint around corners haphazardly. Even worse that they would continue to do so even after being killed repeatedly. I've made it a habit to pay attention to the information given to me. Like on pantheon, if I see the feed and someone got sniped I quickly locate the skull. And if I choose to approach that corner I make sure to slide, blink, shade step either right by it or into position. It's also a good idea to remember popular spots where people snipe. and check them often or at the very least be safe about it and slide it anyway. It's also why every time I spawn I change which direction I go. The hardest counter to not only snipers but to other players as well is learn to play unpredictably. Never continue the same behavior unless the odds are in your favor.

Fix the lag and the game would be fine. Getting shot through walls or getting sniped while pounding bullets into somebody is because of lag, not because the gun is op.

57 OdpowiedziWhat I don't understand is that players unable to perform well with snipers decide they're so overpowered when they get killed by them. 1000 yard is the only legendary sniper in ttk capable of having shortgaze, Longview, or ambush that has high enough impact to snipe a res. Actually aquire some sniping skill & experience & then come back. Your entire argument will have changed.

Pfff 1000 YS as a primary xD any sniper with double down can be used as a better primary
-
5 OdpowiedziI never go into the crucible without a sniper but I dislike that any average Joe can rack up kills with this sniper that essentially gives them training wheels. No Land Beyond for life.
