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 think snipers are totally fine, 120’s are extremely powerful and need nerfs. Map design is lacking, the game really needs more maps with better sight lines so players aren’t forced to use shotguns
