Ultimately it doesn't even really matter if that guy was legit or not, in either case he's ruining the match. Dropping dead because an enemy so far away you can barely see him clicks once on your head, I will never be ok with this. Every day I play TF2 I wish Valve had never included a Sniper class. Phew. Ok, rant over.

9:50 Snipers are certainly an ongoing problem in this game, but damn, that Medic was also an issue there in that moment, and that pyro airblast is also a bugbear. What a frustrating series of events.

Also, I noticed during the video that most of the killfeed seemed to be made up of snipers, on both sides of the equation. It really seemed like it's just a sniper's game, everyone else is just living in it. Then to see that end scoreboard where the top *two* enemy players were snipers, AND that they were far-and-away the majority of the points on the scoreboard, means the vast majority of the game was decided by elements where interaction was a one-way street. People were almost always under a real threat of immediate and sudden elimination with no recourse, no way to counterplay it, or meaningfully engage with it, or turn the table around and put the enemy sniper into jeopardy and apply pressure to get them to back off. It's fundamentally unfun and goes against foundational video game design principles. You are entirely correct in your comment. It doesn't even matter if the guy is legitimate. It seems like he is - nothing here seemed sus at first glance; he's really that good. But that exposes the fundament and fatal flaw of the sniper - besides it being a magnet for cheaters, the core gameplay loop of a sniper character or weapon makes it unsuited to be in any PvP game. It's balanced upon the idea that people will never get "that good" at it, when any video game has oceans of people specifically trying to be the best at the hardest part of it. Look at games like Dark Souls, and real people like "Let Me Solo Her". Making a sniper class/character is just gambling on a balancing idea that people won't practice something to be good at it, when it's literally just a matter of time before that is no longer the case. That makes it fundamentally unbalanceable. You can't balance game mechanics against a hope & prayer that people just won't go and do something that is extremely rewarding when perfected.

I couldn't have said it better myself! (Actually I couldn't have said it that well myself, lol.)
