The desync is killing it for the majority on PS4 and it seems to get worse with every patch. As of the DB patch you can't hear it incoming, you're dead and still moving, then fall over and hear them hit later. I can't be mad at the people who use it as it's right there to be used. However, it's extremely frustrating trying to play the game (solo or small scale) when this is happening the majority of all fights.
Additionally, the lag in Cyrodil is getting worse too (Solid 1.5 - 2 second delays, issues bar swapping, getting incapped mid dodge roll, etc) I know "big group" play is promoted, but the current state of the game on PS4 cannot handle it. This leaves IC (dead) or BGs for any type of decent PvP.

I play on ps4 (and have fought several of your characters btw! ) and it sucks being killed by Snipe spammers...
Despite the cheapness of being killed by it, I'm ok with it as they are typically made of glass if you are ever able to close with them and that kind of build is useless when its 'winning time' (taking Keeps and crowning emp)...
Having invested a lot of CP's/Skill Points into Sneak Cost Reduction (combined with the Dark Stalker Passive and the Wild Running passive) I generally move around freely in stealth unmolested on my Magicka Templar while in Cyrodiil and am only killed by Snipe spammers very rarely (constantly having my defensive buffs up with Mighty Chudan helps bigtime when it comes to surviving against them)...
Bottomline...
Snipe spamming in Cyrodiil is a gimmick...
It gets the player some cheap kills...big wow...but ultimately it does very little as pertains to winning a campaign, so let them have their cheap thrills...
I’m surprised we haven’t seen the L2P comments from the usual notorious crowd in this thread yet.

seriously - nothing better than to kill someone without them ever even seeing you (yep, enjoy that snipe death recap) - better yet - to do it from atop a resource tower while they're engaged with the guards...
so many inglorious ways to die in cyrodiil...

Yeah, also nothing better than getting Piercing Marked after a Snipe burst fails to kill someone (or after it successfully kills someone and you're visible for a second) & then getting zerged down by gap closer spamming Xv1 heroes while you sprint/spam dodge roll until you're out of stamina, as that's all you can do in such a scenario as a bow build.
Just saying; the other side of the spectrum has equally (well, more even) frustrating scenarios.
And no, I'm not one of those people spamming snipe from the top of a tower, or from behind a zerg.

in all honesty - the nerf stuff mostly just humors me...
although there is little funny when dying to lag or a glitch, which seems to be the case with health desync, or, no inbound damage queues...
okay, maybe when that life saving pot or ultimate you've been trying to activate suddenly goes off - after you've resurrected - that is kind of funny...
i'm active in pvp on all stam/mag versions of each class...
been killed and killed folks with the destro ult, snipe, jesus beam, birds, dizzying swing - just about everything...
I have no specific class or playstyle which i champion or advocate for...
what I am wondering now though - does someone with death and destruction in their psn (ie. - lord of murder) cause me to take greater joy in trying to kill them...
probably not, it's hard to see everyone's psn in the heat of battle when you're running around fighting...
and, lord knows - I rez everyone I see, even the names which bug me a bit...
