My face when someone says sniping takes skill

All year one people bitched and whined about shotguns and how they took "No skill", but now that snipers are ruling Crucible no one wants Bungie to take that crutch away? How -blam!-ing hypocritical do you have to be, honestly, to think on weapon type requires more skill than another? "B-but anyone can use a shotgun all you have to do is point and shoot" Oh you mean that I don't have to get in close and stand at near the damn edge of the map and get kills with shotgun. Holy -blam!-ing shit I must have been using them wrong. Oh as for the logic of anyone can use them, why the -blam!- can everyone use a sniper? Why does everyone act like it's so -blam!-ing hard to use these things? "W-well obviously people were complaining about things like found verdict, Felwinter's lie, and Matador" Oh you mean like everyone is and has been complaining 1000-yard stare? Defiance of Yasmine? Just gonna ignore that are we? Because those are the snipers everyone is using right now and have had the most complaints. "B-but shotgun were obviously broken messes, they needed to be reworked" And sniping doesn't? When the reticle doesn't work like the rest of the -blam!-ing weapons and allows you to get a head shot? Seriously, go use any other weapon in the game and let me know which one still hit where the reticle was pointing instead of its current position. They may not be OP but they sure as hell need a looking at. "But it must take skill because you don't see people going unbroken/getting really high kill streaks that often with snipers" You didn't see many -blam!-ing people that went unbroken with a -blam!-ing shot gun or fusion rifle either. Most of the times when they did they used their primaries and other abilities to help them reach those milestones. Same goes for snipers. "You're just bad and you need to adapt to the Meta" Oh you mean like how everyone didn't adapt to shotgun/fusion rifles or any other meta? This is what I -blam!-ing hate about the community, you people are so goddamn scared of losing the weapons that you rely to heavily on to think -blam!-ing clearly and act like giant -blam!-ing hypocrites when anyone encroaches on your weapon's territory. You all don't want balance in this game, you want your weapons to be the best and everyone else's weapons to be a big old steaming pile. You hoot and hollar about adapting, and certain weapon being unskilled, but yet half of you couldn't use a shotgun or fusion rifle to save your life and you never even tried to get better with them. Oh well, have fun "Adapting" to the new sniper changes coming on the 12th, I will enjoy watching you baddies struggle to get kills. Edit: To all the people pointing out my stats, good job, you found out at least enough to know that I haven't played [b]ON PLAYSTATION CONSOLES[/b] in a long time. To the people that are thinking that I am salty about getting killed with sniper rounds. Nah, that isn't what pisses me off. What pisses me off is you kids want shit on other weapons, but when someone starts dumping on snipers it "OH NO DON'T NERF MY SNIPERS, THEY ARE THE PERFECTS AND MOST BALANCE RIGHT NOW". Complain all for the first year about fusion rifles and shotguns ,that people legitimately loved using, some not even because they were the meta weapons, but when someone does the same to snipers suddenly they are noobs that can't "adapt?". Yet your unskilled asses couldn't quit bitching and adapt to those weapons? What pisses me off is you are being -blam!-ing hypocrites about the weapons. What's hilarious is the people in the comments proving my point about this as well, just look at how many people didn't read and just went for the insults. All they saw was someone saying something about snipers and went ape shit over it. Edit 2: Maybe I should start a fund for the illiterate and those that are failing with reading comprehension because either people can't read or choose to ignore the point. The point I was trying to make was that people using snipers say it takes skill to use, but yet every match people are using them often and well enough to dictate that the skill bar for these weapons is set quite low. To be great with them, yes it does take skill, but so does using a shotgun or a fusion rifle, but yet for all of year one and parts of year 2 people still continued to whine about them without thinking "hmm why are these weapons considered OP?". Look at most the maps on this -blam!-ing game, they are built for short to mid encounters. Couple that with the fact that Bungie thinks [b]SPECIAL[/b] ammo needs to be given out like candy and of course these weapons are going to be overused, they were the best for those situations. As for the children saying "Oh he's a shotgunner" "Lol he mad that he can't use a sniper and get killed with them", congrats you are the people I keep referring to, that constantly defend a broken system and again demonstrate my point that when it comes to your weapons they are fine and balanced, but everything is broken, cheap mess that needs to be nerfed. For those that think I can't use a sniper, congrats on being judgemental morons. Been using the TAO HUA YUAN (with ambush scope I might add) and Omolon Uzume quite easily and they have much lower AA than 1000-yard and Defiance.

  • Are you suggesting that snipers and only snipers have bullet magnetism? Because snipers are the only guns without bullet magnetism

  • Nice touch posting this on a PS linked account that hasn't ever played crucible so people couldn't bash you for being one of the shotgun rusher scrubs who lost their crutch and now cant do shit with a sniper so you whine about it. Grow up; its a game, snipers are doing exactly what they should be doing; getting shot in the head by a high caliber round [i]will[/i] kill you as it should. The only fix they'll do for a sniper if they do any is reduce the hitbox or AA which doesnt do much in the first place.

        Actually, they'll just swap back to shotguns. It's funny how you people never manage to understand this.

      • Just takes practice. And people are getting lots of it. Not like there was some secret buff to snipers that made them easier to use. People have complained about every damn weapon in the game, and one by one they've been castrated. People in general just need to shut up.

      • I would have preferred this post if it wasn't littered with -blam!-. However you do raise an interesting point. However Shotguns are higher risk for the same reward when compared to snipers. However Snipers do need to be changed so that non precision hits do half the intended impact damage. This will mean that body shots are scrutinised against so headshots are rewarding. I also believe sniping does take practice and some people do make it seem effortless. If you look up a YouTuber/Twitch streamer called Hush, he is crazily good at sniping. He also uses a Weyloran's March which means he has to land headshots to get a solid kill. None of the weaken and finish off with primary bull.

      • Kudos for being a fan of JoJo :) The problem isn't about weapons. From my point of view (and for a realistic one) it's correct that a sniper bullet thru your head kills you and a blast of rocket launcher dismembers you. Tho, in reality, if a sniper is too far, in order to hit you, he must take care of wind and the Coriolis law, that doesn't apply in Destiny. Btw what kills you in PvP are not weapons, is the lag!! If your opponents shoots you and makes you a critical damage is a matter of less than a second if you survive and, if the server doesn't receive your jump or move or melee or shot in time (less than a second) you are dead. Tell me if this is a way of playing. Btw people who stands at the border of the map, hidden, waiting for someone to pass for shooting him are called 'campers' they are lame and they suck and it's an unsporting behavior: what if everyone does the same? Imagine 12 people standing still waiting for each other to pass.

      • Sniping in Destiny doesn't take a crazy amount of skill. It's all reliant on aim-assist, it's really doing most of the work. I don't understand why people think they're godly with sniping. Kids have it easy these days. Go try out Counter Strike and give sniping a try, see the difference aim-assist does then come back here.

        • Here's the thing, I want to use a snipe. I also want to use a shotgun and also a fusion rifle, but I can't because the PvP is built around using certain weapons to do well. There really needs to be a balance. Variety is great.

        • I've been saying that Snipers are too easy to use since the game came out. No one ever realized because shotguns were op, you never ran out of special ammo, and most maps were close quarters except for that one moon map. Also the fact that they aren't power weapons, you literally could have 12 people running around with them. That being said, they still take more skill than a shotgun did before. Now I wouldn't say so. But before I had to atleast aim to use my sniper, I never did anything to earn kills with my matador except pull the trigger. Now it takes as much skill to use a shotgun, cause the ttk in this game is so fast, that getting close to someone is a problem.

        • I just wish trials wasn't all snipers all the time, pretty much takes all fun out of that playlist. It seems gunfights and actual strategy in ToO is rare, all people do is stand in one spot aiming down a corridor or through a doorway and wait. How that's fun to anyone is beyond me I refuse.

            • No special weapon in the game takes skill other than fusion rifles. Simple as that.

              • Only times I'm salty is when people use snipers in close range and beat my shotgun (i swear 2/4 shots never register) or when fusions were able to kill me from past hand cannon ranges. Other than that I'll forever use a shotgun and a scout because i just can't seem to use anything else. [spoiler]rip messanger, only pulse i could use and was the first i used. Also even though i started with payback sos, i can't use doctrine or arminus-D.[/spoiler]

              • Snipers need a Nerf. And shotguns does not take GUN SKILL. But it does take moment skill. Fusion is moment and timing. So in terms of gun skill sniper do take more skill.

                • they just have to remove the aim assist, btw - the only "aim assist" i can see is when i go over the items in the game-menu...sad that the whole game, special trials, is based on using snipers...

                  Snipers and sniper users are a joke. Why do you think everyone and their friend's mother has a montage nowadays.
