Good Snipers are just as bad for TF2 as hacking snipers are.

They'll both rarely miss, spam funni voice lines, and shut down the game entirely.

[Paula~]

just don't get headshot, simple

[Ittrix]

they can't headshot me if I already died to someone else

[calembredaine]

iirc even pro level snipers miss regularly. you just need your hit rate to not be abysmal to stop people from peeking a sightline.

anyway, a new playground has arrived.

I humor myself about this.

nobody has a 100% hitrate except script kiddies but someone who plays only sniper can still shut down an entire match

naw, even script kiddies don't have a 100% hitrate.

Lol I don't even understand how that happens. How do you cheat and still miss???

[Galaxander]

turns out they don't even need to be all that good op

Because they can simply aim good?

Same can be said about any otger class dominating a round

What's the difference between a good sniper dominating and me as a Scout with somewhat decent aim dominating the enemy team?

past ez counters, you can fight a gud scout head-on and hope for a kill by gitting gud yourself at a base skillset like aim and wasd.

against a good sniper, this is exclusive mostly to counter sniping, else your main skill set is grabbing a good opportunity on their back or flanks. this is not the same as against the scout at all.

regardless of your opinion on either class, would be disingenuous to say they have the exact same impact and more importantly offer the same gameplay when used excellently. these kind of threads exist exactly because classes affect the game differently, some in less popular ways than others.

shot whereas the head's center of mass is actually behind the edge of a wall. you can even use that to your advantage.

A god tier scout still gets shut down by a sentry gun, can be dealt enough damage to force them to pick up health by even modestly competent aim, has to spend a certain amount of time reloading. In short, the scout is required to interact with the enemy whereas the sniper doesn't have to at all.
