Why is sniper so hated?

[#OMGLUL]

i love playing sniper and i dont get why people get so angry when i kill them? All you have to do is just move a little and jump a little and people complain about sniper???

I think it more has to do with bots than actual good players

[RedReimu]

Because people who complain about him sucks at the game.

They say he’s op even tho it’s easy to get past them

Sniper is not fun to play against.

The other 8 classes are fun to play against.

All you need is a semi good spy to kill the sniper

I also love playing as sniper, but only if using Sydney Sleeper

[vampyr]

because TF2 youtube has molded a mindset into players that what is best for comp players is best for the game as a whole.

tl;dr "mad cuz bad"

simple because dealing 150 damage with one shot is not fun most classes have around 150 hp now i can appriciate a good sniper but there should be a cooldown for headshooting that's the problem sniper bots just boom kill everyone within like 1 second unless they're overhealed or something, there should be a cooldown like maybe 3 seconds to deal a full 150 damage.

People hate being destroyed in games. People hate being instant killed with a headshot, back stab, sticky spam, rocket spam... Most of it is due to personal bias. Every class gets the hate too in some way or another... I've seen even Medics get hit with it over the years.

the fact sniper can kill an overhealed heavy is the main problem. and at a certain point snipers just dont miss. And unlike soldiers. you cant exactly dodge it. because hitscan. Even sentries rockets can be airblasted. but sniper is bassically undodgeable

The head hitboxes are anywhere from 2x the size of the mercenary's head, to 4x the size.

With how most modern games have more usable cover and how they're stingier with the head hitboxes, playing TF2 can feel like going back to a tutorial level.

This game was not designed for hardcore gamer audiences.

Honestly it is flabbergasting that people can't pick Spy and stab the Engi, sap all the sentries and trick stab the Pyro while dodging the Sniper's quickscopes while retaliating with Ambassador headshots to counter his razorback.
