Its not a smart tactic its cheap. Not really, you swap weapons fast. I was in a gunfight last weekend, I had a sniper out body shot him switched weapons and finished him off with a primary before he could finish killing me. Uni is a beast of a weapon really, especially if you use the uni/snipe combo. You basically have two powerhouses at your disposal.

Uni/sniper combo is good because ACTUAL primaries are weak. If u buff primaries across the board, snipers and shotguns will get put in place. Snipers and shotguns do what they r intended to do. Primaries are the ones falling behind. They need to be buffed.
-
I wouldn't say its because of that. Certain feel good in my opinion, they're are just certain archetypes that need buffs. My last word is bae even after the nerfs.

Well I think that snipers r op because of the reasons I mentioned. Shotguns are very strong as well because primaries don't do as well. The uni/sniper combo shouldn't be a thing in top tier pvp, it's sad that a person running basically double special weapons can do very well. I want ttk on primaries to be faster. I want to see more gunskill. Ttk on primaries needs to be somewhere between year 1 HoW and taken king launch.

And i think snipers are OP because they havent been touched. It would depending on the players play style.

U want the game to be even slower is what I'm getting from u. U want this game to be less competitive and more for the casual. All the nerfs have done is make the skill gap closer and closer. Nerfing snipers the way u want won't change that much, players will still complain about snipers. The changes u recommend won't change the fact that u get double bodied or domed in the head. The fact is, because ttk has gotten slower, snipers have more time to line up shots and also feel less threatened by primaries. They can land multiple shots now compared to year 1 l, they would be punished if they didnt land that headshot.

They game isn't all that slow honestly, i don't see why people say that. The only time its ever slow is when people camp. Other than that the ttk is relatively fast. Its plenty competitive already. The nerfs have made the skill gap further, because the ttk is longer it requires you to land you shots more accurately. Instead of only having to land 2 shots you have to land 4 shots now. If you miss once and your opponent doesn't they're -blam!-ed. I doubt they will, if snipers get increased flinch people wont complain. No one complains about getting domed in the head, that should be a ohk. People complain about body shot primary. People complain about double shot, which is why i said damage reduction is debatable. Nope, the flinch is just non existent. A perfect example would be how mida use to make snipers flinch nasty, but then streamers complained about it and bungie got read of it. Mida was the perfect weapon against snipers, but bungie ruined it.

The thing is, yeah gunfights are longer and u get to see who has better gunskill. The thing is, u rarely ever get a 1v1. The majority of the time, If a player is about to lose their gunfight, they run away for cover. They can get away most of the time because ttk is slow. The ttk before was faster and still allowed for gunskill to take place. Thorn, tlw, and hawkmoon needed nerfs. Hand cannons were fine except for those. Ttk besides those weapons were fine, instead of jus nerfing those guns, they nerfed everything as a whole.
