Here's my experience. I've snipped since the day I started playing destiny. I've only recently started to get good with it. Now, I picked up my invective while iron banner was on rift. Two games in I had myself 23 kills n never used my primary. and this is after they been hit by the nerf stick.. I still use it but I don't enjoy half as much being so aggressive in crucible. I personally prefer my sniper, it fits better with my game style. It's taken me a year to get half decent with a sniper n I could master my invective within a couple a games. Make of my post what you will but that's the god honest truth.
