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.

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.
