Didn't play destiny because it was booring after playing for so long so played cs go for the last 2 months or so. I keep reading the patch notes to see what in RoI comes out as I was interested to come back. But reading the weapon balancing I'm almost certain I will not be getting it. Special weapon was the most important aspect of the pvp in this game (Yes I play 90% pvp). But the sniper nerf dmg of 7% just turned the game to more casual than ever. And let me explain why. Target acquisition nerf is absolutely fine. I believe that they should do that to every gun in the game. Including scout, HC ( if they actually registered properly) as its a bit too high on weapons lika mida. However the 7% dmg nerf to those snipers did not nerf the snipers but simply buffed every agile super. As someone who did countless carries and double carries I can say that staying consisten with killing supers like BD, stormcaller and HoS is close to impossible. I would say less than 10% of my personal kills were a HS to the head vs super. The 90% it was either run away or simply die. With current scenario the moment you are 0-3 in trials with your opponent having all 3 supers it is basically game over. And let me explain that most of deaths from sniper while in super is due to peoples stupidity of not being able to play this game and run like chickens around the map. Very few are insane drag scopes and they are usually highlights of the best carriers out there. The nerf of 7% did absolutely nothing to the snipers but simply buffed supers as I said before. The headshot kill is still there, the res snipe is still there and quick 2x body shot is still there. Yes the spear and black spindel can still kill super but spindel is garbage overall + its an exotic meaning you won't be able to take primary with you which is probably going to be thorn after the update. And the problem with spear is that its not only very bad and has 3 shots like spindel but its an IB weapon. Goodbye 'good' rolls and the guy whos probably gone get a god roll only does oryx 3 times a week. I think I also need to point out the most important aspect that was taken away which I will miss and miss even today from not playing destiny. Remember that 1v1 you had vs a active BD and you shot him in the head while securing the win for your team? Yeah that's gone as well. This is not a rant towards bungie, its simply my opinion that this change in particular did something its not meant to change. The target acquisition between spear and longbow is minimal. and Zen meteor (will that still kill super as it has the same impact as spindel?) is even higher than any other sniper with higher impact. Buffing supers is not way to go for pvp and in pve they dont make difference really. Nobody plays BD on raid or stormcaller unless you do it for fun. Thats just my opinion would love to hear what others think.
