The increased sniper stagger is AMAZING!
With the newest update, I have now won the past 8 of 9 sniper encounters I have had in the Crucible (and WITHOUT using the Sorta Sniper Killer aka Mida). And those 9 encounters didn't include the times where the sniper actually RAN AWAY! Gone are the days of the frontline sniper tank (with the exception of really skilled snipers)
In all seriousness though, this update was needed. Snipers are SUPPORT. Not tanks. They should next to never be winning head to head gunfights against scout/pulse/auto rifles. Now, I understand they have to have some benefit as remaining completely hidden (like a sniper should) is impossible with scope glare and radar. They should and need to be a threat...but not game breaking.

1 OdpowiedźSnipers shouldnt have any aim assist at all. That would solve so many issues on the receiving end...

4 OdpowiedziI'm fine with lens glare for the most part. The only thing I HATE about it, is that its on patience and time. Completely negating the whole point of its exotic perk. The gun is mostly useless now, as without the invisibility actually helping you, the effect is obnoxious when just using it as a general sniper rifle. I will say they could turn the glare down a bit, but It doesn't bother me either way.

This game wouldn't need nearly as many nerfs if Bungie would allow us to change our vertical sensitivity. You wonder why blink was nerfed so many times, it literally was a huge advantage against a broken mechanic. Its stupid tbh.

Agreed! Best nerf of all time!
-
Snipers are a cancer, fuelled by aids & now they're where they belong... Nerfed into oblivion.

2 OdpowiedziSo I can use a HC in PvP now without insta death?

12 Odpowiedzithey still need to be nerfed, sniper should never beat a shotgun at the same range if a sniper and a shotty are both at punch range, the sniper should never win with both players same skill this still happens, nerf more

Edytowany przez użytkownika ProjectRahman: 9/18/2016 12:13:18 AMWatch every trashcan still complain about snipers because their dumbass keeps walking into sniper lanes like -blam!-ing zombie.
-
2 OdpowiedziI totally agree. As a sniper myself I have noticed this change. I still don't think that the precision damage nerf should be a thing (since a shotgun melee can still take you out of a super, but a headshot from a sniper can't anymore)
-
My only wish it that it was affected by the impact stat I like a high impact scout and still get rocked because flinch is per bullet Still like the idea and totally a step in the right direction!

Another PvE nerf. Stupid Bungie
-
In Overwatch, Widowmaker doesn't give off a scope glare. In her case, she does have to wait for her sniper to charge to 100% to one shot someone with a headshot, but you probably get the point. A scope glare is only necessary in this game because of how often those potential ohko's can be shot. You can also get 2hko'd incredibly fast compared to her. Coming back to this game's pvp, you start to understand why scope glare and the radar are almost necessary.

12 OdpowiedziThey're awsome now. I think the damage nerf was to much. If you're good enough to get a crit on a super you should be rewarded with the kill.
-
Doesn't bother me, the handling took a few to adjust.

Edytowany przez użytkownika PushedBean764: 9/17/2016 11:22:22 PMI'm still getting headshotted by snipers while I'm shooting them, with pulse/auto rifles.
-
Yep agreed, happy with special weapon balance atm
-
They (snipers) are definitely easier to counter, if you get the first shot off.
-
I was in a private match with my friend (he snipes I use fusions) I was using my hung jury and he said "what the hell is that it makes my scope bounce all over the place after the first hit" I said old vendor roll hung jury and he called it OP as shit..lol
-
I still get sniped when I'm hitting them in the face with a primary. I haven't noticed a difference.

1 OdpowiedźEdytowany przez użytkownika Redacted1607: 9/17/2016 8:30:37 PMYeah I'm also glad things changed. Sniping was overly easy. Now it's feels a lot more legit. I mean yeah it sucks loosing more closer ranged battles but it should be that way. Last time checked my players head moves like normal. That means that any contact there would make me Not be able to focus. Not understanding? Try this: How ur hands out like ur aiming a rifle. Then take one hand and make a fist. Take the fist and start ramming it into ur face. Can u still see the target?..... See that's what supposed to happen when I'm shooting you when u try for a QS.
-
Mida called the sniper killer? Dafuq....🤔
-
I was winning a lot before the nerf, but now it's just criminal. *reads hate mail*
-
I always used high impact scouts. If anything sniping requires more skill now. It was never a challenge for me to kill them before but you can tell who relied on high aim assist zero flinch sniper rifle.
