Nerf rifles and snipes

[Again]

I'd be okay with nerfing Ownage and Dual Rifle damage to sane values. Maybe making ownages deal more damage per shot, but have a higher delay. Same scenario with dual rifles.

As for snipers, I was thinking of decreasing damage when you are close to your target, so snipers are less of a shotgun and more of a 'ranged-only' weapon that punishes you for being inaccurate. Thoughts?

I have little to no knowledge on this but wouldn't that make people with high ping/latency be more effective when close with snipers? like spikers and laggers etc?

yes please do this. you can 2 shot someone from half way across the map or right infront of you, it's pretty op if you ask me... completely ruins the competitive aspect of the game if your hp is halved as soon as you start a round

For ownages and dual rifles, maybe increase delay but there's no need to increase dmg, it already deals insane damage . Possibly, increase in movement speed reduction too.
Excellent idea on that sniper part. I didn't know this is possible, but this is an excellent idea. I don't know how does this works but I suggest that the dmg decreased should be from 100% to 25%(close range).

Not a valid point. Because this applies to every other weapons, not only the possible nerfed snipes. Its the flaw of anti lead and it cant be fixed. If people are spiking, they should be kicked.

There is a pistol can dmg a lot. Like the Lvl. 99 Pistol.

and I suggested that before to make a tag for pistol. And got declined.
