The real Crux of the sniper issue... (Destiny)

Let's talk about blink and shotgun and the like:

I think blink and shotgun is definitely a counter to sniping, however it was really strong close up. It definitely needed a bit of a nerf, but maybe not so much. What needed to happen was that Fusion Rifles be strengthened so that they are the counter to blinking in from mid range. Rock paper scissors:

Blink Shotgun beats sniper.
Sniper beats fusion rifle
Fusion rifle beats blink shotgun

Something like that. Then design maps so that snipers are never completely safe, and you're golden. If a team is able to hold down a map such that their snipers ARE safe, then they deserve the huge advantage that brings.

I agree with the rock paper scissors. I think that if you want to try and fight rock with scissors, you are going to have be REALLY good to do that.

Also, Blink shotgun is a great counter to Sniper. However Titans are screwed.

I know that was being used as an example, but I still love to point it out because I hate blink shotgun as a Titan
