The unfair AWP (Sniper) advantage

[𝐅𝐥𝐞𝐱]

I saw a video on Arch's channel on YouTube that deals with the problem of sniper rifles.
The video is titled "SNIPERS: A Nightmare for Developers and Players".

He describes very well why the AWP in Counter-Strike is, and always has been, way too powerful compared to the other weapons.
And before you go off right now, sharing your mental outpourings and describing how unskilled everyone else is compared to you, watch the video.

Valve knows that AWP players would cry if they lost their overpowered advantage.
But Valve is also aware of the sniper rifle problem.

I think that the weapon could be adjusted as described in the video or at least small concessions could be made to the weapon balance.
Also not everything has to be changed at once.

i could imagine:

1. remove the first zoom level

I sneak up on my opponent and hit him 2-3 times in the back. He turns around in a split second (180°). Normally the enemy's weapon would become inaccurate due to the fire, but not so with the AWP. I am dead, of course.

2. after zoom, it should take a tad longer for the accuracy to go to 100% (also works against quickscope)

The AWP has no crosshairs without zoom , but let's face it, players used to draw a dot on the monitor. Today there are tools for that, so:
You may not do that, but others have to help themselves in other ways.

3. non scope accuracy significantly decrease during movement and after stopping it takes longer to become accurate in non scope
4. A shot into the shoe sole should not be lethal (different hit zones, different damage).

Those who have the necessary skills should have no problems with it. The weapon is basically not changed, but only the unfair advantages are somewhat mitigated.

There is no point. The awp stays. You have no comp games played or it is a acc only used to troll on. You spam this thread, firthermore sowing you either bait or since the last thread haven't learned anything in the game.

These hurrdurr weapon xy is op threads are plain annoying and lead to nothing.

What? You seem to be confusing me here! Just assume something out of the blue, why not, if you have nothing else to say. Are you bored? If it bothers you that people are picking up the topic, just ignore it.

This thread exists thousands of times and arguments were made. I wrote multiple essays about this topic. Stop beeing disrespectful by accusing me that I have nothing to say towards this topic.

Make your profile public and upload some games. Show us your at least 5.000 hours and way above average stats in the highest ranks so we know you at least have experience to know what you are talking about.

Like what is your audacity?

I love Starcraft. I have some hundred hours. But I have the self awareness to know that I'm not experienced nor good enough to go into the forum and try to change a race or something like that. But you do that. You just want to change something which developed over 23.5 years and was balanced based on people with 20.000 - 40.000 hpurs on a professional level. You also have no faceit acc but want to change the entire meta and an entire main role of the game.

"If you dont agree just ignore" isnt a very healthy way to discuss topics.

you bring here no arguments, confuse apples with pears, make untenable demands, presume to be able to judge etc..

Just look at the video, can not be so difficult?

I can't help you either.


On topic please and stop addressing me from the side.

Awp is not lethal when you hit the shoe sole.

Maybe you took it too literally now, but you are right, it is not one shot but two shots in the sole of the foot are fatal. Or were you looking for pixel error :D

On the same subject, I recommend searching for "AWP Pixel Shots" on YouTube. I think you will quickly find what you are looking for.
