On PC, snipers are OBSCENELY unbalanced. Not only is flinch not working correctly on snipers, but people tend to stack things (opening shot, box breathing, targeting adjuster, etc) that increase the head hitbox on the target, which absolutely should NOT be a thing for snipers! Good players should be rewarded with snipers, not bad ones. Range, targeting adjuster, etc. should do nothing for snipers IMO. If you don't place your reticle on the head, you don't get the kill. Period. The only sniper perks that should exist on snipers are things that help with reload speed, handling, in air accuracy, I dunno...But, not things that make peoples' head bigger. That's fine on hand cannons and other weapons, NOT on snipers. Because of how OP snipers are in this game, people play waaay too passively, and camp lanes in almost every game I play. It's honestly not fun, because the only way to counter these weapons on a lot of maps is to use one yourself which is, IMO, turning the game into a sniper campfest. There's some workarounds, like grenade builds and top tree Dawnblade can catch snipers off guard some times, but you shouldn't be forced to play a very specific way just because snipers are so incredibly oppressive in this game due to ease of use (on PC, can't say about console). I think they need a MAJOR change in crucible: flinch needs to do it's part, because if I empty 1 or 2 shots into a sniper, they shouldn't be able to shrug it off and instakill me. I wouldn't even mind having snipers be put into heavy only, not sure if people would like that...I would. At the very least, flinch needs to be heavily tuned to NOT favor the sniper. If you get shot first as a sniper, then you're not accomplishing your job well enough, and shouldn't be rewarded for it. Descope would balance the weapon out, because they'd still be effective in the right hands, you would just need to have quick reactions when you line up your shot, like snipers are SUPPOSED TO BE.
