Sniper Nerf Seems Unwarranted
With the increase of 60% sniper flinch this nerf has all but killed any type of aggressive sniping. A play style since D1. It was already doing poorly with pulse rifles and scouts everywhere, now with this nerf it’s pretty much dead.
Furthermore, snipers have not been meta in at least a couple years. Shot guns and fusion rifles have been making up a large amount of special kills for a very long time now. Yet they’re about to buff shot guns next season and just nerfed snipers.
Makes zero sense to me. Just another nerf to what little amount of skill gap remains in the game.

This nerf was 100% warranted. A player should not be punished for getting the first shot on a sniper only to get domechecked. You could do everything right to beat a sniper and still lose because of a BS mechanic. It was a needed change. Besides, this doesn’t kill aggressive sniping. You just have to utilize your primary now instead of trying to get flinched back on a player

[quote]It was already doing poorly with pulse rifles and scouts[/quote] Good those weapons should be a counter to snipers you know how they were intended to be.

Snipers are so broken. They need a massive aa nerf. But in reality I don't see Bungie keeping the change. Snipers give bad players kills and flinch aims for them so yeah I can't see this staying at all. Like I'm so use to 4-5 criting people with lmg and getting sniped and I've yet to get sniped while shooting in people in the head. It's wildly fun to not shoot somone into my head

The sniping through flinch issue has been a long standing and frustrating problem for many players. There is nothing skillful about bullet magnetism bringing the shot back onto target during reticle bounce. Also, usage isn’t the only driving force behind nerfs so these are poor arguments.
