Trials felt like Team Snipers to me this time... (Destiny)

Is it just me, or are the 3v3 game types stacked full of teams all sitting back and sniping?

I noticed this all week as my team and I played Skirmish, Elimination and finally Trials... It just felt like Team Snipers 3v3.

I am not one who generally snipes (I don't enjoy passive PVP), but I was essentially forced to for success in 3v3 this week. It was the least fun week of 3v3 I have had in Destiny. In fact, I have not even wanted to play Crucible since this weeks snipefest... (I was bored out of my mind running sitting around in Trials on Bannerfall with all the hardscoping going on)

Shotguns have been nerfed (and blink shotgunning nearly eliminated), so, I suppose it makes sense. Bannerfall is a very sniper friendly map, but man, I hated some of the games I was in.

I feel like whenever I play Trials, there's one person sniping on my team, and one or two sniping on theirs. The team with more than one sniper is usually at a disadvantage. This past weekend's run had a lot of Scout/Pulse Rifle action, and a ton of CQB stuff going on. Really competitive games, a ton of actual skill involved (out-strafing opponents, landing more headshots, etc). It was pretty nifty because in most of my games, the person who shot first/hit their opponent first didn't necessarily end up the winner at distance. Maybe you ran into an unlucky set of games?
