This is why Sniper is Broken

I agree, and I could totally get on board with this kind of change.

If it wasn’t so effective at close range, then it might encourage people to take a Sniper and close range option like a Carronade, instead of running double Snipers. And that would also alleviate some of the long range annoyance.

 

Man this thread is just never ending. Sure, sniper crits are annoying when they proc, but it doesn’t make them OP. As an enforcer, I have the luxury of choosing to play either a T5 epic sniper or T5 epic BC; I chose the BC over it instead. Without the crit, the sniper weapon is just plain useless and not worth using, regardless near or far range. Had no issues with it since my beginning of 100 infamy all the way to being consistently in nightmare now over 4-5 seasons with lingering infamy of 4700 top. It’s just a matter of positioning and gameplay

 

People only notice snipers when they crit. When they don't, it deals so little damage they barely care and don't realize that it's the "OP" sniper cannon.

 

The weapon of any long range troop from Clash Royale
Any bullet from Diep.io
Sniper Rifle from Fortnite (yeah, I killed someone almost melee with it)
The list goes on...

 

Then missle launcher from Fortnite
In case you're wondering, I don't play Fortnite that often but since that's what people play these days in trying to make a reference.

 

Actually, I noticed it a lot while scouting, and those 400-500 point hits can really hurt when you have 3-4 ships firing at you, which is almost guaranteed with the amount of people running sniper, and you’re the only ship on thier radar at the start. It’s so easy and fast to hit with that even Nitroing around, I still get hit. A big problem is that the low angle means shots which ‘should’ have missed, still catch you if you’re moving laterally.

 

Only if you're really close. I shot someone like 5 feet away and I was fine.

 

Okay so just to understand better and be aligned in thoughts, this is mostly more of a problem in around ace infamy and below due to lesser hp at MK5 down? Cause to be entirely frank, I really don’t find sniper users that OP as claimed even if all boats on the unfriends have one or two. I get triggered when crit at, (duh!) but I’ll still manage somehow eventually. Hmmmm! Was the awesome part some sort of sarcasm? Hahaha :O

 

nah snipey just likes your thicc profile picc xD

 

WAIT WWHAT GUCCI?

coincidence? i think not...i think theres a connection bro

 

Yes sir I’m Gucci indeed XD Still learning and trying to be a good enfo playah!

Right I guess at lower mk with lacklustre hp and the rise in whales and the tendency to meet mk6 etc does hurt profoundly when the crit does come in. Ultimately it’s no longer an issue with the weapon but more to the system and whatnot. Just hang in there till mk6 buddy! Then the hp boost and bandage plus big shield will help out a bunch >.<

 

Wtf you’d still be meeting mk 6 or even 7 at that league? Woots! That’s nasty cause no matter how bad they are, they’ll still just ram over with superior hp, weapons, and talents trained ((

 

Woots! Hello my brotha from anotha motha XD

 

woots indeed i thought i was the only wun around with the gucc on my wrist
