Over powered Sniper and cloaks? (shadow war)

[JsiNz]

Can there be a nerf on sniper rifles and the skill "cloak" like lowering the damage probably on snipers and lowering the duration on cloak? Every time I go shadow wars, players go cloak and just use snipers, it's like a fixed tactics which is annoying. I can't see how close/mid range guns be an effective weapon in shadow wars since players use sniper because of its over powered damage. I can't experience a good fight were I can go choose the guns of choice depending on the situation I am in and is force to use a sniper for the sake of its damage output to players. I just can't enjoy the guns I personally like :/

What truly needs to be nerfed is infectors and spanners. Not snipers and cloaks

I agree. Every PVP match people do the same thing. If you want to stay competitive you have to you use a charge sniper rifle and cloak. If I try any other combo I get slaughtered. I think this is partially why people don't really do PVP very often. I think cloak should be banned from PVP because it forces everyone else to use it too. And sniper damage needs turned down.

HOW DARE YOU SAY REDUCE SNIPER DAMAGE!!! Anyway, surge bolters/splitshots need the nerf bat, not snipers overall. Cloak needs a huge tweak in terms of it needs to be like Predator cloak, not complete invisibility. Plus shadowed strike perk needs to be reduced to 15% or even 10% damage while cloaked. Having 30% extra damage is like pulling overcharge and cloak at the same time...

Lastly, I say if you shoot during cloak you should be de-cloaked and be put into cool-down phase. If that happens, then you'll see a lot these PvP "Elites" quit in a heartbeat.

Pvp Equals Cloak/Sniper or Cloak/Shotgun, both are one hit kills regardless of perks/shield capacity. Honestly Cloak just needs to have the duration decreased and once you attack you go into cooldown. Then to compensate decrease cooldown rate slightly so that it doesnt become completely useless.
