Let’s talk about snipers

I understand you wanted to bring snipers into the meta. Before it was light and heavy weapons with extended mags. Hard rushing and aim tracking. The thing is now it just seems like any kid can pick up a longbow, G7, or triple take and camp high ground all game until he finally drops on you with bases and disruptor rounds. I think the g7 is fine and considerably underrated. But the longbow has been a problem for a while considering how many nerfs the devs have to the wingman early on. Why leave the longbow in the state that it is?

Make the longbows recoil feel like the power it puts out. If you hitting kids for a quarter of their health without a skull piercer make the recoil represent that. Need the mag size if you have to, but if you want to keep it viable and balanced... make the damn thing a skill weapon instead of every kid finding a longbow and destroying everyone from 200m away

    Only Kraber can instantly kill you by surprise.

    Legendary sniper sights are very uncommon.

    If you're focused by a longbow or triple take:

    -get cover (many legends have mobility/invulnerability/shields/smoke skills that helps).

    -Practice your positioning to always be close to an efficient cover.

    -Use team mobility & smoke(or even gas) to get better position/close the gap/avoid the sniper aera.

    Even while knocked, it's not hard to reach friendlies on cover & get rezzed.

    It's not a weapon problem.

    @CRRAZYM3X1CANO Oh no, people are using the Longbow, a sniper, to sniper others across a long distance...

    Landing headshots is not an easy thing to do and that is all the hop up is good for, so balanced. The hop up is legendary so not easy to find, balanced. If you attempt to fire in a row without a good lvl 2-3 stabilizer, you aren't going to connect many shots, balanced.

    The wingman was waaaay to OP when the game dropped. It packed a very strong punch with little recoil and a nice sized mag. The weapon even had 100% accuracy when sliding. Wouldn't you nerf it too?

    Overall you can't truly ask for a nerf on a gun because players are finally using them as they are suppose to be use, up high camping and laying down fire on enemies far away. It's a sniper.
