Here's the thing. Snipers are fine right now. Look a lot of ppl say u shouldn't be able to snipe up close. I argue that u should and here's why. Firstly contrary to what many shotgun lovers may think it's very difficult to quick scope at close range with consistency. Secondly, if u take that away there is no counter for a sniper user up close when they're being rushed. But shotguns don't have a snipers range u say, so it's not fair. Yea, it is fair. Avoiding sniper lanes is far easier than avoiding a rushing, sliding, blinking shotgunner! I can't simply stay away from a shotgunner like shotgunner a can with sniper lanes. Therefore since I choose to run sniper because I enjoy the elegance of the weapon and it suits my play style, I should have an option of defense from someone that's rushing me with it. No primary has a quick enough kill time to counter a decent shotgunner really. And it's not an easy counter, it requires practice and skill regardless of what u think. You wanna reduce body shot damage I'm fine with that. But if u do that You can't lower AA too. Because then basically ur saying you have to be a god sniper to snipe. That just widens the gap between casual players and higher tier players and that's not good for the game. Outside of body shot damage snipers are fine, that's the only argument I can see and the only nerf I don't think would be devastating to the game.
