Bungie didn't change snipers (Destiny)

Damage reduction in fist of hacov was reduced also, 1000YS is a high impact sniper, you can easily 2 shot someone out of super.

1000 YS is a high impact, high stability, high aim assist sniper, and therein lies the problem.

I've also experienced sniper frustration, and I wonder if the issue is the switch from a hand cannon-centric meta to pulse rifles. Pulse rifles don't seem to have the knockback effect to the extent of hand cannons, and using them seems to have drastically increased the incidence of getting sniped while shooting an enemy. Before Year 2 that rarely seemed to happen.

I think that if you are holding a sniper then the knockback effect should be doubled or something like that. Nothing pisses me off more than when a sniper manages to head shot me at mid range when I'm pelting their body with bullets.
