It's ridiculous how I can pour a near entire clip, or consistently get headshots, and still get sniped at long and close distance. Where's the -blam!-ing flinch, or your supposed design to make sniper rifles ineffective at close range encounters? Your latest weapon balance has made pvp a -blam!-ing nightmare.
Crucible has become the game of who can pull the sniper trigger faster (you can't even challenge snipers anymore unless you use that god awful shotgun, the Conspiracy Theory), and trials has become a game of who is given the advantageous position. It's -blam!-ing ridiculous how a spawn can practically hand you a win.
@Cozmo it's ironic how he wrote that he like the position sniper are in at the moment and then went on to down talk me about staying away from sniper lanes. What makes Cozmo's comment absurd is one of his honorable mention videos of the week. A video where you clearly see a sniper killing well within the shotgun range without even having to scope in.

197 RepliesPersonally, I like where snipers are currently at in the game. I am pretty decent at sniping but still enjoy getting up close with shotguns more. I think that is more due to the fact that I like to stay off of radar and sneak behind enemies hard scoping down sniping lanes. So what are some of your ideas to change up sniper rifles? You mentioned flinch which does exist. There are some perks to reduce it. Some players are able to line up the shot right after flinching to get the kill. Would you like an increase in how flinching effects sniping?

Lol - bump. I stopped playing after this special weapons meta. Sniping is rampant and can't be bothered to grind double RNG in rift matches.

2 RepliesI know right? Sometimes I activate golden gun and I instantly get sniped before I can even fire the first shot while face to face with a sniper. Idk if golden gun needs a higher ROF or if its all connection , but snipers are op.

1 ReplyOnly thing that needs to be changed with snipers is the res kills u should not be able to do that with 3 health bars it's bullshit!!

1 ReplyEveryone acts like the issue with sniping is aim assist. But the problem lies with the fact that no matter how much you shoot them they can stay on target because as you said, flinching is nonexistent.

9 RepliesHonestly the only people complaint about snipers are scrubs. How hard is it to more out of the way or flank a sniper... There's even a red light to tell you to move. I mean seriously you've really gotten be half retarded to constantly get fvcked up by a sniper to the point of crying nerf

just get good people on every game there is quick scopers

23 RepliesIn my opinion aim assist isn't the problem with snipers, it's the ability to quickly aim and fire. The transition animation from unscoped to scoped should take longer for snipers than it does for hand cannons or scouts etc etc. The most recent example that comes to mind is the way fallout 4 snipers work. There's a good 1-2 second transition when aiming, everything around you fades to black then refocuses on what your aiming at. A few other ideas I like are adding a slight sway, so you actually have to put effort into aiming, rather than just sitting and waiting for someone to run into your sights. Lastly there should be more shake if I'm landing crits. Anyone who thinks snipers are balanced properly and are all skill are just stroking their own ego.

It's not that bad Pvp is actually quite balanced weapon wise. Autos could use a slight buff and pulse rifles, but nothing too major. You can never have perfect balance with destiny pvp due to supers.

I agree with u, but I just started sniping back.

6 RepliesIt's fun to snipe, and I like the sniper mechanics. Problem is that all of the counters and alternatives have been nerfed. Most primary ttk is too long, and range is too low to challenge a sniper. When we had hawkmoon and thorn with higher range we could reliably 2hk a sniper, so there was more risk. Now, forget it. Also, the alternative secondaries are not very impressive, so we all snipe.

2 RepliesEdited by gallp13: 1/26/2016 9:38:02 AMI don't snipe much - I think they are fine. This is a huge whinge in my view. I love how Coz jumps on and you go soft. Your entire whinge come down to let's adjust flinch a bit. The more I read in this place the more I laugh - no wonder Bungie pays zero attention to this place. .

A lot of problems right now with snipers revolve around lag which is being "fixed" tomorrow. Well at least that's what Bungo says. We won't know until Wednesday so hopefully Bungie keeps their promise.

5 RepliesStop trying to shoot a sniper from long distance. Lol what a ridiculous complaint.

When you Nerf shotguns people then move on to complain about snipers might be because snipers have become more popularized these days or the new meta

Have you ever thought that maybe they got lucky? I am a very good sniper but when someone is shooting me with something like a doctrine or a MIDA it's very hard to aim and line up the shot and sometimes it's luck that I hit it. Not aim assist of lack of flinch. Just luck.

2 RepliesHigh caliber rounds on a fast firing scout or pulse rifle is the only way to kill a sniper with a primary at mid to long range. Ugh.
