Why do people hate bodyshot snipers?

[Frog]

This is just a curiousity question. Is is just because it doesn't take as much skill?

[Tates]

I really don't see this when I play. I used to play sniper, and however I got a kill was good enough for my team.

[Piggy]

I play using the Croc-O-style so I have no choice

ok, this one I agree with, there's no excuse to go bodyshotting with the BB unless you're an illiterate fool :P

[Kusa]

Dunno. If you try to head shot them and you are forced for a body shot Its Completely Understandable.
If you only go for body shots. For the love of god Go another class
If you use a Sydney sleeper. Good for you we need more snipers like you that HELPS THE TEAM BY GIVING THEM FREE MINICRITS AND LOWERING AN ENEMY'S HEALTH DOWN.

because you killed them and ther is nothing they can do about it

Let think a little :
Fully charged bodyshoot damage - 150
Fully charged headshoot damage - 450

Bodyshooter are more annoying 'cause they doesn't use skill, but there a less dangerous (if you have more than 150hp)

Bodyshots are significantly easier to pull off than headshots, and they can get kills. Really, it can be effective when being surprise-attacked by, say, a Scout. Pow, Scout problem gone.
The reason people hate it is because it's easy to get kills doing bodyshots. Like I said, significantly easier (especially on fast classes such as that damn Scout I mentioned). Really, if it can kill light classes (no such thing as the Tank-Scout, they are balanced around being squishy) and damaged players (get off the battlefield and find some health), it's effective.
Of course, make an effort to headshot a Heavy. It's not like they move at ultra-high speeds (such as that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Scout).

People who whine about bodyshots also tend to whine anyway bodyshot or headshot, the only time I call out players on bodyshotting is when you bodyshot spam heavies rather than headshot the slow fella. (This is also better for your team since you can save a life or two headshotting a heavy really.)

It's also viewed as a dirty kill by other players, in this case ignore anyone calling this out, it's TF2, the game has freakin' weapons that encourage killing from behind, which isn't a honorable way to fight either.

I personally try to headshot every class who has more than 150HP, since it's the fastest way to kill those select classes, classes like spy or scout have less than this unless overhealed, and tends to be a faster kill and beats missing a headshot 3 times. But really don't pay mind to the whiners and kill the fastest way you can in that scenario.

I will say this, if your gonna use the Heatmaker or Bazaar you should at least TRY to go for the head, otherwise you may as well use stock y'know.

I do both, i mean i mostly go for headshots, but if the target is moving like a squirrel on ecstasy i would be very dumb still going for a headshot. And i dont know what the problem is to get body shotted.

peac out

i have a legit hales own sniper rifle ( the default one ) and i do both. i body shot and head shot. i body shot ffaster classes like scouts and spies. but i also try to get a good amount of head shots when i can, its more fun that way to me.

Yeah, I agree, thats what i do and it works fine.

[froggit]

Mostly i get mad when they switch to bodyshot sniper just to get the "Revenge" when im dominating them...
