Why I barely play this game.

[R1ch4rd N1x0n]

I love this game, but I almost never play it for two reasons, Pyro and Sniper.

I'm not saying they are OP (even though Pyro is), it's just it is too easy to die in this game for me and I can never get a good kill streak or even last 5 minutes alive (unless I'm camping somewhere).

It's just I can't handle being headshotted EVERY. SINGLE. TIME that a Sniper shoots at me, even if I'm bunny hopping and teabagging. I can only do at least halfway decent if a Medic is ubercharging me, just like everyone.

Also when encountering a Pyro at close range even when being healed by a Medic you are most certainly going to die unless he is one out of ammo, two you get lucky crits, or three he is a terrible Pyro.

Soldier kind of annoys me as well, but I can deal with him, he's not that bad.

It's just far too easy to die in this game, exclusively because of Pyro and Sniper.

Say git gud all you want, I get it, I'm bad. But can someone PLEASE help me out? What can I do to counter Pyro? What can I do to at least decrease how often I get headshotted by Sniper?

It's karma for the Watergate Scandal you caused.

The only thing that makes me mad to die to is pyro. I don't get mad when I die to snipers because if I we're out in the open in the middle of the battle, I probably was going to die anyways.

You can counter pyro by knowing how to aim a gun and being careful turning corners and checking your back.
You can counter sniper by taking flanks and killing him. Avoiding sniper is annoying because most of his sightlines are on the point but you can always avoid them by not peaking into their sightlines and knowing where a sniper will most likely be.

Press M2 as Spy to go invisible

Pyro requires a decent amount of skill to counter without getting chased down by flames, but once you learn the secret of how to hit him, he's nothing. Snipers, honestly, I never run into many that are very good, and he's a bad class to main especially when you fall into slumps.

If snipers really are giving you a lot of grief, i'd suggest go spy and harass them until they switch then switch back again.

Both those classes are pretty annoying to play against tbh. Pyro currently has stupid flame bugs that make it require zero aim so you pretty much have to stay out of range at all costs or you'll take guaranteed damage. Other than that, just shoot the guy.

Sniper can have his aim screwed with damage, but just mainly avoid sightlines as much as possible.

Finally, someone that knows about the flame bugs!

I harass Snipers as Spy a lot, but I should not be restricted to playing one class all the time because of Sniper.

I'd suggest not bhopping as well, seeing as it's easy to predict where the head is going to be when you land, instead do zig-zags and take flank routes.
