Stop Sniping!!

[Mallu Arjun]

Unless you are covering an open cashout from afar, Sniping has ZERO relevancy in the game. You not being with your team is only making it harder for your teammates to win fights, because it's always 2v3.

HOLY TRUE

Not really. Good sniper can change the results of the fights, since battles in the finals tends to be longer than few seconds. Good sniper can deal more damage than jumping players in debris trying to avoid gas and grenades.

It's extremely specific to few scenarios. Sure, you could have a sniper dink some before the other two go in, cover an open cashout or finish off low health enemies from afar, but it's still better to have the 3rd teammate around for most of the time, than a sniper trying to cover from 100m, especially in a game that is full of cover.

Maybe later snipers are stronger but I don't grind levels with a crap sniper over weeks just because the devs think it was a good idea. No thanks

There's no later snipers, what you see is what you get. That's the only sniper rifle in the game right now.

I said this in the other thread, but maybe they could give the sniper rifle piercing? Let the bullet go through walls and people, maybe it would be better then.

tbf I met a good sniper that was almost always finding a way to cover from afar even if the obj was burried under 2 storeys of rubble and ♥♥♥♥, and thanks to him we were able to steal right in time. if it hadn't been him it would've been a lost game and nerves.
so... yeah, while I aggree that most snipers are useless, I must say that those that do a very good job at it do exist.

just because you cant make the play style work doesn't mean someone else can. Hats the beauty of this game there are only three classes but they cater to dozens of different play styles you just have to figure out how to work with them

I'm waiting till people understand what cranes are and what they provide.

Sniper:
-too far away to res
-too far away to steal objective
-sightlines easily blocked
-defeated by shields
-his kills instantly get revived so they don't matter
-adds nothing to team

But there will always be people that just want cheap kills so honestly you do you, I just don't want to play with a sniper on my team.

those revives are wasted time which when you have the cash out is more effective than hard defending and devastating with a combo of both. A good setup buy two people and a sniper screwing with at least 2 enemies can be effective

LOL a ok light can do so much more than a sniper. The only thing a sniper can do in the finals is use that one breaching charge Gadget from afar they can't taz people they can't use glitch grenades they can't put down Mines the only thing they can do is get kills and if they are bad with their aim which most people are they're not going to get that many kills.
