How To Counter Sniper As Spy (For Low-Intelligence Players)

[@crono100lv8]

I never really was on your side.

[@crono100lv8]

Don't forget that there's also: Scout (he can literally triple jump with that melle of his), Soldier (you can also go trolldier), Sniper (self-explanatory) & demo with that practice sticky bomb launcher (i know not many people uses it, but flying extremely fast towards sniper, like trolldier and killing with your primary/melle is very satisfying. You can also try hybrid and even knight, but knight depends heavily on the map, still fun tho.)

[@military_snake]

definitely

0:34 thats when the sniper has ears and 180 instant kill you :)

[@military_snake]

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.

@crowbar2368 yeah especially in harvest lol

[@AIOXYZ]

The stars aligned for you to get those backstabs

[@military_snake]

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.

[@AIOXYZ]

This isnt luck this a miracle

[@military_snake]

@AIOXYZ again, maybe. I literally booted up TF2 just for that and got that, second try. Hopefully the full video I'm making can possibly prove to some of you that any kill secured on a Sniper doesn't automatically chalk up to contrivance just because you think so.

[@RayaneJspVoila]

razorback... by the way you got super lucky you bump into a engie and he didn't scream spy for the pyro to kill you it usually happen to me

[@military_snake]

honestly yeah. but a kill is a kill, regardless of luck! to the razorback, i say Spy has a gun. seriously, even the stock revolver is good enough if you just connect three close shots. Or, better yet, an Ambassador!

[@RayaneJspVoila]

@@military_snake yeah but luck base kill is as annoying as random critz also gun spy only work if there is one sniper and that he is not skilled because 2 sniper wold just use the smg and a skilled sniper will just quick scope you...

[@military_snake]

@@RayaneJspVoila so get creative, you lazy sop

[@RayaneJspVoila]

@@military_snake first of all no need to criticize me i was just making a point. Second of all spy using gun make him extremely vulnerable since his main speciality is being sneaky and furtive wich is quite counterintuitive third of all getting "creative" because a class has basically no counter or can easly counter it's counter easly ( razorback ) is oppressive and that is annoying
