But that's the thing, I know exactly everything you mention, I fight using CQC so I've gotten good at dodging snipers. What I feel you suggesting is that this is a git Gud scenario and its simply isn't. Plus this forum has over 900 replies so regardless on how either of us feel this is an issue. Also I admit their are talented player everyone strides to be the best but snipers have become a short cut. Why master the timing of a fusion rifle, Shotgun, side arm,when I have guarantee two shot or body primary weapon. This style of sniping is what's ruining the name of sniper. these changes aren't going to hurt a good player and actually created skill where there current isn't one.

Edited by Ness: 7/14/2016 12:10:28 AMI only mentioned the bullet pulling since you made it sound like sniping in close quarters is easy, when in fact it isn't. And I never simply told you to "get good," I'm simply offering valid suggestions that you could use to improve your game since there is nothing wrong with the snipers themselves. The increased ADS time was completely unnecessary IMO. If there is anything you change, it's the flinch on sniper rifles since it can sometimes be irritating to die when you're peppering a sniper with a primary when you had a preemptive hit. If you knew everything, then why are you complaining that you die to them? Accept that you aren't perfect and learn from your mistakes. I have to admit this myself too. This goes for everyone on this post who complains about snipers being OP, not just you. Nerfing snipers again will only make snipers switch to something more viable such as shotguns, which are already strong in comparison. People complain about snipers because of their one shot nature, but honestly, I don't know what else to tell you. Maybe send me some footage of you playing so that I can see what you or other players did wrong. Nerfing this weapon by making the draw time slower or decreasing body shot damage would infuriate any sniper. Unless you want people like kjhovey or RealKraftyy to quit this game, I suggest you adapt to countering snipers.

Also I could careless about the players you mentioned anyone could to be honest. Some of the best destiny Players have quite because of how balancing is in this game.
-
And why do you think people have complained about balance? While we may be closer in year 2 to balancing weapons, I find it much less fun than year 1 since so many things have been nerfed. While some changes were necessary, not all of them are. Simply because someone happens to repeatedly kill you with a weapon doesn't mean it's OP. Like I said, if you want I can review footage of you or someone else with some gameplay featuring some things you might be doing to counter snipers. Anyone who disagrees with me is free to do the same.

Do you hear what you are saying? Your assuming people are mad because they get killed. The majority people are mad not because of getting killed but seeing how little it takes to do so.

So are you saying that sniping takes little to kill people? Even if you kill someone in 2 body shots, you're putting yourself at a disadvantage by wasting special ammo and giving your opponent an opportunity to kill you with a primary. I don't know what your skill level is and I don't want to insult it, but I know that at higher skill levels people are rarely killed with two body shots in a row. If you are hit with a body shot, you should have more than enough time to get out of the way. If you don't, then there is more than likely a way you could have avoided that engagement. I apologize if I came off as rude earlier, but I'm only defending a weapon which I believe is mostly balanced and needs little, if any, change. As for your side, I'd like to see evidence that proves that sniping is an easy way to get kills, because I don't believe it is. And if you think I'm biased towards sniper rifles because I use them more, you'd be wrong since I have many more shotgun kills than any other special weapon. I understand that everyone has their opinion, but I don't believe anyone has the right to put my work into becoming a better player to waste. If you believe that snipers are easy to use, go ahead and use them and see if you do better with them than shotguns. I honestly think that all the special weapons are balanced. If anything, shotguns are in a better spot. There's a reason why teams have 2 shotgunners instead of 2 snipers in the competitive Destiny community.

That's the thing you assume that because player aren't competing with snipers then by that nature the player has it ever cross your mind that the weapon gives an unfair edge? Not even in a so called "skilled" hand but with other special so inconsistent, fusion rifles kill ranges are extremely hard to gauge of are ridiculous to close. Shotguns have be neutered to the point were even at melee range they won't kill? Side arms I can't speak for but the only consistent special is snipers and their consistency isn't the issue, it's the fact that it's only consistent due no penalties for messing up while using one.
