We use the arguement that they havent changed much because it is true, they havent. The game has basically changed around sniper rifles and everything else has been nerfed to the point where snipers rifles are allowed to reign above all weapons because bungie deemed those weapons nerf worthy, and snipers sit where they always have. At this point in destinys life cycle we will have seen nearly everything in the game get nerfed, and they will continue to get nerfed as that is what people deem is right for this game, and that is what is incredibly wrong with this game. If that is what you want to see happen im not going to stop you from voicing your opinion. If snipers get nerfed i'll live with it, and all snipers alike will live with it, the good players really dont mind, it just makes us use everything even better than we had to before, making us that much more annoying in game. Ive played through year one, ive dominated with a sniper rifle since the alpha, low aim assist and all and not even another good sniper, thorn,tlw,hawkmoon,suros or vex would stop me from decimating teams on a good day. A good sniper will always just be a good sniper, no matter the change. If you are looking for a reduction in the use of snipers in game then sure, reducing aim assist values and increasing archetype variety would be a good start. Removing hidden hand wont do much and Increasing flinch may curb the effectiveness of snipers but then we will all find a way to get unflinching snipers and then more problems arise and more nerf post are made. Every nerf has an effect on this game, and the player base will find a way around it and abuse the next best thing. A good sniper will not stop being good at point blank range or across the map no matter what changes happen. Id prefer if we were to start buffing weapons and subclasses again, this nerf mentality always makes the game less fun. Im the vast minority i guess.
