I just finished the ornament quest that requires you to hit 20 precision hits and 50 killing blows in the crucible with a sniper and it made me realise how of snipers feel.
The maps are quite small and really good sight lines are rare. In most situations I felt at a disadvantage having a sniper equipped. Because even at long ranges 120 HCs can hit you for high flinch and damage.
Of course it’s not a problem if you are a quick scope flick and drag shot pro but that’s not the majority.
I thought I was just because I was bad at sniping
[spoiler]wich probably played a part, but I would say I have some experience, since snipers were all I used in D1[/spoiler]
So I went back to Destiny 1 and straight up hit headshots left and right and finished the game with a 3+ K/D using a double sniper load out. Sniping just felt so much better.
What do you guys think of the current place of sniping?

I just wish they would reduce the zoom on scopes a little bit. They just nerfed aim assist and flinch [i]and[/i] increased the zoom. The flinch nerf was needed, the aim assist? Debatable. But along with those nerfs the increase to zoom was just a bit overboard. Just my opinion/thoughts.
