AWP/AUTOS banned from competitive

[ゴジータブルー]

Ok this is getting so annoying pretty much first team to get the awp or an auto has the best chance of winning why in competitive play can these weapons not be auto banned. I thought the point of competitive was for skills it doesnt seem that way. Also for the love of all thats holy get rid of dust 2. No one ever seems to play anything but that map or just make competitive dust 2 only. Just my fustration with cs go other than that love the game so far thanks Value!

MAYBE the auto could be banned, just maybe. Not the awp, it is a major part of competitive.

Very funny that thread because 90% of the posters uses ingame AWP or are great in flaming against them. But here they can do like profis xDD

Alright, I might receive some flak for this. But I think the whole Counter Strike always having the AWP argument is a little dumb when trying to defend that overpowered weapon. Why? Because even though it's been in Counter Strike for so long, the idea of a dedicated competitive playlist is completely new.
Also, it's lame to use skill as a basis to try and defend whether or not something is broken: Someone who is bad with an AWP might just be a bad player, and I can honestly say that if you got the most skilled AWPer on the planet to fight the best rifleman on the planet, the AWPer would win solely because his gun instantly kills, and he's skilled enough to not miss with it. No gun in counterstrike can one-hit body-shots EXCEPT the AWP, and that is not at all okay for a competitive game. In fact, the only way you could even go about combatting this problem as it stands is to use an AWP yourself (Which, might be what the game-designers want players to do in the first place. But honestly the idea of two squads of snipers duking it out inside an office is kind of stupid to me).
I didn't rant about the auto-sniper because I can honestly say it's not O.P. In fact, I think auto-snipers should replace AWPs as the premier sniper, solely because they're balanced in the fact that they're one-shot kill only when you get a head-shot, but can put rounds down faster than the scout.

Say what you want, but the AWP is broken and has no place in competitive play. Literally just point and click, anyone can learn how to do it.

don't impede on others' playstyles just because you can't cope with them

Disagree 100%, just because you don't know how to counter them doesn't mean it's unfair to have them in the game.

Bud that's like asking for them to rmove 50% of the game. AWP's are imparitive to strategies. you need them to defend points and take posotions. why aren't you complaining about the OP AK-47 1 shot kill with headshot and its full auto. This game is quite balanced as it is and if thay need to do more balancing valve will do it (i.e. the CZ-75)

You seem bad at this game.
