I have always had the baseline opinion born from playing Highlander and 6's med, that the only change I would do to sniper is slightly lower his starting scope damage by 25 points. Making quickscopes still instakill other snipers and scouts while giving other classes like medic a second or two to react to seeing the sniper. I dislike the value sniper gets from being able to ferrari peek a corner and get the most valuable kill in the game on a target that is already respecting the sightline.

I dont think you've encountered peak sniper. Ive met one sniper, in a non casual server, who would easily destroy the enemy team. Like if your head was visible for 1-5 seconds, he would have a 90 percent of headshotting and then kill you. And it wasnt a server with casuals. Nor was the guy hacking. It was a server filled with at least decently skilled players. Its just that the sniper was so good at sniping, he would just keep headshotting over and over again.

Always understood the sentiment that being sniped kinda sucks in video games, but that's just the feeling of getting sniped does. What I don't get is absolutely trashing the design of Sniper. Plus sorry if you only play one or two classes regularly complaining about one that's meant to stop you from being a absolute battlehog comes across as class favoritism. There's a foodchain for a reason. If Soldier was OBJECTIVELY the best class to play in the game no one would be playing TF2 anymore because a ton of trolliders and crocket happy patriots would ruin the experience for everyone. And arguing Sniper is overpowered is dumb. Just pay attention maybe! And I'm someone who HATES sniping guns in ANY game I'm a ride or die on shotguns and pistols.

@@military_snake also wanted to clarify my point that Sniper isn't overpowered by saying I never understood why Sniper was "support" till I thought about this "has ANY class ever been able to win a game mode solely with THEM being good alone?" No. No class can do that (even Soldier can't fight the world) but Sniper is REALLY good at opening opportunities for other players. Same as what Spy does but in a different way. Plus Snipers are PREDICTABLE if you're paying attention you can figure out what they like to do and how they like doing it. Just like EVERYONE else, Sniper (once again like Spy) just isn't a target that's immediately in front of you. And HELLO TF2 is a mobility based game, use yo mobility guys, Sniper doesn't have it for a reason. Plus just like Soldiers baiting shots is a perfect strategy to avoid them to make your way up on them to get a advantage. Sometimes you get shot in the head, but sometimes you don't that's the fps gamble my friend only skill can close that wound up.

For me, it’s not that sniper is a bad class, it’s for pussies. The entire class revolves around sitting in a corner three miles away from your enemy in a game where literally everyone else is at a severe disadvantage at range, doing laughable damage or having an easily dodge-able slow projectile. People who play sniper aren’t really playing the game, they’re essentially playing aimlabs. His items even seem to reinforce this, having an item that shuts down spies without you having to put any effort in, and an item that shuts down pyros without you putting effort in. They almost seem like items that a frustrated sniper main would put in the game after having his 10 minute aimlabs session annoyingly interrupted by the other team. I have no problem with quickscopes and aggressive sniper play, those put you on an even playing field with the other classes when it comes to range. The issue is that when it comes down to it, if both teams are even, and a frontline is established, getting to the sniper is impossible.
@military_snake16 күн бұрын
this is all assuming he can even aim, and assuming that you have no creative or intelligent ways of taking him out. if he really is the priority target, he would matter enough to you to coordinate with your team to kill. but all you do is cry about it. and no, the sniper is not impossible to get to if the teams are even and a frontline is established. and i'll prove it

@military_snake16 күн бұрын
there were two. the odds of them both not having "ears" is so astronomically low that you simply have to consider other factors. stuff like how Snipers play. they tend to focus very much on what they're shooting at because that's what the scoped-in attitude promotes: focus. you also have to account the fact that i'm far enough away to where i'm still quiet, AND there's a firefight happening under them on the point, which further clouds their hearing abilities. shoot, i could only hear my own decloak a little bit just because of all the noise. if it was one Sniper, MAYBE i could have chalked it up to convenience, maybe even contrived luck. but BOTH of them? after the second guy didn't even pay attention to the killfeed because for the entirety of my decloak AND approach, he didn't even un-scope? he didn't even see his fellow Sniper join him on the roof because he was still scoped in at that point! my study on this is that he got too comfortable: the failing of every Sniper.

Maybe, but it still counts. How many times will "luck" be the argument until it's provable that all you need to do is get good? And honestly, the only thing that aligned for me was the Engineer not chasing me after bumping into me. The firefight below the roof was loud enough to where even my own cloak sound was a bit difficult to hear on my end, and one of the Snipers was scoped in and far away already that he would have been focusing on other things. The other Sniper was already moving towards the same area, so it was easy picking once they were both scoped in. Argue convenience all you want, but I countered two Snipers at once. Sure it was at the end of a match, but my point still stands. It's not a problem with Sniper; it's a problem with YOU.

Snipers are part of the design, sure, but still an outlier. It's like snipers in other first person shooters, just because it exists in real life doesn't mean sitting it right next to another firearm makes it more balanced. By its nature as the longest range weapon it inherently has an unfair advantage. It's the whole point of the weapon in real life and it's NEVER applied in a balanced way to multiplayer games. Edit: Getting stomped by a Demo or a Soldier is at least something you can see up close and learn from. Sniper is off in the distance. A GOOD sniper is NOT fun to play against because there's not even a spectacle or lesson to be gleaned from it.
@military_snake17 күн бұрын
nope. a long-range weapon is not immediately an unfair advantage. it simply tells you that you can't play Quake. and there is a lesson to be gleaned from it. you're apparently not good enough to see it. soon I'll be making a video demonstrating this very point live because apparently no one else bothers to try. countering a good Sniper is just as hard as countering any other good player on any other class.

My issue with sniper is two things lack of options and interaction. I'm able to kill or decive a sniper easily but it's just sucks when a support class doesn't really that much "support" or some kind of interesting equipment to allow him to kill or debaliate players. Fighting against a bunch of snipers does feel like I'm playing completely different game like it's counter strike or something, with the class barely Interacting much in close and medium range unless they're using the huntsman (which has a funky hitbox), or the many crutch items like the shields and the jarate/bushwacka combo. I would say making the class harder to play at a long range like giving him a visible laser(isn't that original XD), focus more into Projectile based, high risk, high reward, weapons like crossbows, muskets, blow darts, and a few other weapons that can open up a wide retinue of options instead of camping (which I think most of the loud people have an issue with). Honestly with not any solutions in sight due to valves neglect, it would've been better off for many players to adapt the situation or pursue other gamemodes like mvm or those silly little minigames in the community servers.
@military_snake18 күн бұрын
the lack of options I disagree with on the principle that his rifles are exactly like how all of the rocket launchers are: at the end of the day, they still kill. interactivity: I thought I address this, but interactivity isn't required as a Sniper. that's why he's the long range class. if it was that easy to interact with everyone on the map, the game just turns into Overwatch and becomes a cluttered mess. the fact that most other games have headshot mechanics really shows me how spoiled tf2 players are if they think getting killed in that one particular way is bad
