Why would someone EVER want to use a sniper over a rocket launcher, especially for PvE? Just another screw up on Bungies part. They can buff snipers all they want. Nobody is ever going to use them.
Edit 1: number 3 on trending. At what point does Bungie put the weaon system back to D1's?
Edit 2: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/243727030/0/0 something else I just thought about.

Rockets are better for groups, snipers better at long range killing single high value or high danger targets. Rockets will kill a bunch of guys, but the good sniper will kill that one guy from a mile away that changes the whole tide of battle.
