"CAN WE PLEASE NERF SNIPER RIFLES?"
NOOOO!
NO, thanks
absoultely not
my overwatch needs to stay exactly as it is
With all due respect, I don't mean to personally attack anyone but these reactions do not bring much to the discussion, do they?
The sniper rifles in this game are my favourite weapons so, I must respectfully say no to a nerf.
Do you really believe that this approach is healthy for the game? That devs should abandon all balance changes because people have favorites?
Meta only matters in a game that has multiplayer. If you don’t want to use snipers, don’t use them? That’s the greatness of single player games - you don’t need to keep up with an ever evolving meta.
If you say that in a job interview for gameplay dev, you're not gonna hear another question. Heard of Doom Eternal? Grim Dawn? These are primarily single player games, and some of the best in their respective genres. Those games are being meticulously balanced to provide sufficient challenge and diversity of gameplay for the majority of players.
EVERY game should be balanced. Even in Tetris, you gotta balance how fast the blocks fall at different levels.
DPS and "hit" damages are not related at all.
Yes they are, in fact. It's one of the faulty mechanics. Together with a reload glitch, this faulty inconsistence contribute to what you can see in the pic attached below.
No way, none of the weapons need messing with.
Are you sure?
This is on a tech pistol with a reload attack speed glitch. Afaik still does ~10 mil legit. Afaik sniper rifles can do about 2-5 mil legit. So you can nerf sniper rifles by 99% and they will still be one-shotting mobs at endgame many times over. So... ahem... respectfully, kekw?
