[TF2] Weapon Stereotypes! Episode 9: The Sniper

Ever seen a person’s weapon and assumed something about how they play? Well, you’re not alone. In fact, most weapons in TF2 hold a certain stereotype. This series of videos aims to go over some of the most well-known weapon stereotypes in TF2.
Please keep in mind that I’m not saying that anyone who uses a certain weapon is a certain type of person. These videos are for fun. Sorry if I hurt your feelings or something.
This episode is about the Sniper.

The funny thing about Razorback Snipers under the delusion they're completely immune to Spies because they forget that Spy has a gun... is that it can take a while for them to be disabused of that notion because of trickstab and backstab-obsessed Spy players who _also_ forget that Spy has a gun

[@themonkeyman2910]

This was me while I practiced Spy for a month. Completely forgot the revolver to focus on trickstabs and stuff. I resorted to butterknifing Snipers with the Razorback.

Then you got the spies that can’t aim for nothing, and call hacks when you panic and spin around to headshot them… (this has happened too many times)

[@Rended_]

Say it with me Sha-han-shah Another thing: the kukri's crit rate. Random crits work off of how much damage you have previously done so if you're constantly hitting headshots with the sniper rifle that do up to 518 max then you really shouldn't be suprised if the next hit from his melee is a random crit.

[@darrenelisy4736]

I have to admit I can't aim headshots with the damn thing

[@Kohchu]

Ambassador - Since the nerf; there are two stereotypes: A. The Spy who relied on the Ambassador to play Spy as a discount Sniper. Now that the Amby can't be used from behind their teammates to constantly harass people while not playing Spy at all; they complain Valve ruined Spy, and that the nerf was completely unjustified; because the class that can close range 1 shot enemies CLEARLY should be able to 2 shot people from any distance as well. But let's be honest, the real reason they're complaining is because they actually have to get in the main lines and help their teammates now; and that might result in them dying; so rather then adapting, it's easier to whine and pray for the nerf to go away. And B. Spys who adapted to the change and can use the Ambassador as a medium/close range weapon of mass destruction for when they miss a stab. If the enemy turns around; or they miss a stab; they'll whip this sucker out and slam 2 headshots for 86-102 damage in your face before making a quick getaway. The way it was intended to be used. I actually have a lot of respect for these Spys.

The most importany thing: if you are fighting with more than 2 non support class the spy will not help you .they will help you if the enemy is low hp.

Gotta be honest. Most p2p SMG players I see are really good at sniper. If they haven't killed you with a headshot from long range they will finish you off with their smg.

I have ~11.5k hours in the game and can say that I always use smg because I don't want to seem like the jarate/bushwacka guy, razorback camper, or danger shield douche.
