It's one of those that looked good on paper, not so great in execution. They probably didn't expect to see so many people have it, so many to utilize it so well or for people to make the bosses look like complete jokes.
They underestimated the players there I think. Probably waited this long to change it because they were trying to figure out how to kill the infinite ammo without rendering the gun useless. 18 shots before bonus ammo perks from armor is no small amount for a sniper rifle, especially with how common special ammo is in PVE.

I get it, but what they also need to do is increase the mag size from 3 to 6

Then there'd be no risk whatsoever. Who on earth couldn't land three shots out of six, with the help of Mulligan?

Not the point. After update 2.0 we will no longer have unlimited ammo when hitting precision shots with black hammer. Now it draws ammo from our reserve. I'm suggesting that to compensate for the loss of ammo. This weapon was special enough for BUNGIE to place it under the exotic category in the update, the nerf makes it less special
-
So to keep it special, they should also make it exotic?
-
That would make it exotic?
-
It'd make it significantly better than any other Legendary.
-
It's already better. It's getting nerfed
-
Cool. It's Legendary; it can be different from other Legendaries, but it shouldn't be objectively better.

It's situational. What sniper is better at taking down a spider rank?
