However, the biggest change is made to the Aiming Idle Sway Delay. The announcement says that the idle sway mechanic is also a target of change, and from now on, the idle sway will completely go away as players hold down the aim button for a few seconds for most weapon types.

With the headshot damage getting a significant buff inBlack Ops 6, the situation may become the same in the game. While sniper rifles already have a great range, now if they get increased damage in headshots, they will surely become the deadliest weapons to take down an opponent in a single shot.
Competitive players won’t think twice before using them the most during every match with these buffs. InBlack Ops 6, sniper rifles will surely become meta after the update comes and become overutilized, causing trouble for other players.
The situation may or may not be the same. But if this is the case, Treyarch has to follow Epic Games to vault these weapons or nerf the headshot damage to balance the gameplay.
