[b]The question is this: Does flinch need to be re-worked in Destiny 2[/b]
-
Got to love all of the armchair warriors not even bothering to look at the videos and only saying 'get good'. It's been known for a while that the way flinch works in Destiny is weird, since flinch literally drags your gun reticle towards the head. That is a problem with snipers because in most other shoters the way to combat a sniper is out-flinch them, but in Destiny even a mediocre sniper can pull off BS headshots even after being flinched into oblivion, solely because of said flinch. Notice how in all of the clips from the first video the sniper is being laid into with a primary, but is still able to pull off ridiculous headshots? Sometimes switching from a different weapon to the sniper to do it? That isn't just skill right there, that is a game mechanic actively helping the sniper win gunfights they really have no right to be winning. I agree with OP, flinch needs to be reworked somehow, even if only for snipers.
