Snipers were held in check from launch until the taken king. Handcannons, AR's, Fusions, Shotguns all did their part to counter the long range dominance until these classes were flushed down the toilet one by one. Thorn and Hawkmoon especially kept snipers at bay. Once the TTK hit, the weapons were so drastically rebalanced, there was nothing that could keep snipers from ruling the crucible. Snipers have been changed the least since launch. If we want less sniping, we need to rebuff other weapons. I think this is the most diverse crucible has ever been, but also that snipers have been allowed to run wild unchecked for too long now. It's a fine line for me. I don't want to go back to a Thorn/TLW/Shotgun meta, but I'm also getting tired of being hardscoped down every lane, around every corner, and from within the same room. Leave snipers as they are. But give me primaries that will give me a fair chance.
