@brady3176 Agree! I remember adding to someone's post a while back, saying you needed a better chance of seeing & hearing the drones, but can't remember whose, sorry! You have little chance of evasive action simply because most of the time you don't know they're there & they deal huge damage.
And snipers taking out characters (especially with low or lower health) is too easy - even if it takes more than one shot, you can't see them or where the shot's coming from to try & escape it 9 times out of 10. You can't easily see them in the distance - they're not given away by the glare of a charged future shot for example. There aren't elemental shots, so you don't see the effect on others of a fire shot for another example. If there's any kind of sound effect from their weapon (or the drone), they're either too far away or it gets lost in all the other closer effects.
The maps are not full of wide open spaces like Great White North where one team's snipers can see the other's & it becomes a more fair (& more skilled) sniper vs sniper battle. Not fun.
