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.

  • any type of gun requires skill but you cant really compare snipers and shotguns they both at completely different ends of the spectrum

  • I rarely get killed by snipers unless I screw up a shot in the sniper lane. Just keep practicing.

    The reason some people don't want snipers nerfed is because there are some genuinely good snipers out there. However, it's filled to the brim with hard-scopers. Sniping takes gun skill, shotguns take movement skill.

    • I have been sniping since HoW. I've been playing since the beta, but missed out on an ldr 5001 and a Longbow Synthesis because I was in basic training at the time, but I got a Her Benevolence in HoW and through the entire, disgusting shotgun meta, I was a sniper. I have my frustrations with snipers, just like anyone, but I assure you it takes more skill than shotgunning used to. I honestly wish they would bring shotguns back, that way maybe everyone can go back to that and I can still murder with my sniper and watch you all complain on the forums. ~a salty sniper scrub

      • Sniping takes no skill? I didn't know that, funny I don't see everyone running around with a sniper getting 20-30 kills a game People like you are mad bc you don't know how to stay out of sniper lanes and make it easy for people that have a skilled trigger finger. Ooo your mad you got quick scooped up close? So someone was good enough to beat with you with a long distance weapon up close, sounds like you just suck

        • I love how people would use the word "adapt" to validate that sunbreaker wasn't OP. I love how people would use that same word for every other gun that got nerfed. "Omg! Just adapt to shotguns bro! Just move backwards!" "Non thorn using scrubs just need to get their own thorn and GIT GUD!"

              Very confused about you making this post if that is your real account. However what exactly are you complaining about? How much you hate snipers and want the shotty meta back? Or are you just hating on snipes cause that is the cool thing to do? I have my frustrations with snipers but they are fulfilling their intended roll (except for slide no scopes, -blam!- people that can pull that off)

                A lot of people who are actually really good at sniping are the ones who elected to use snipers through your precious shotgun meta. I agree that there is no way to keep snipers in check right now, but these are the same people who are still going to snipe you despite any changes they might make. Edit: My suggestion is making the headshot hitbox smaller and reduce body shot damage in PvP. It increases the skill gap by making snipes harder to hit, but good players will be able to adapt.

              • Can I point out that snipers are the WEAKEST they've ever been right now? Does no-one remember the days of final-round bodyshotting through walls and maps with AP rounds? No, of course you don't.

                  Your post is invalid, the meme had more than 1 face so your face can't be like that when people say snipers take skill.

                  ^What I imagine OP's face looks like when someone posts a stupid thread like this. Also a good summary of OP's message if TL;DR. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) [spoiler]Btw, this fits pretty much every buff/nerf thread ever. If you can't learn to counter and create advantages to other combat types then perhaps FPS aren't the experience you're looking for. My nieces and nephews play Disney Infinity. They have unlimited lives and pass all of the levels with ease. Maybe this would be a better game for you?[/spoiler]

                • I don't sit at the back of the map and snipe. In fact... I usually primary my sniper and switch to my other gun when need be. So on the 12th I WILL have fun adapting to the new changes, and continuing to snipe those who complain :)

                    • Shotguns are still more viable than snipers even now. Everyone used shotguns because they couldn't be countered reliably. Snipers can be. People are using snipers because that's what more people want to use, and now that shotguns can't kill from primary range, if you don't want to use a shotgun, you can still have a chance against someone who has one.

                    • I have to somewhat agree, sniping is pretty easy in this game. Simple fix? Sway when ADS. Would make it harder to pop a shot off as soon as you round a corner.
