Snipers

[DragoonKnight]

i just get pissed at any class when i am getting a sever asskicking like the other day on avanti, probably cause i am a sore loser somedays.

I get pissed at the sniper that misses every single shot and then when your about to brain them they pull off a point blank headshot.

I also get pissed at the sniper that can kill a overhealed heavy (by headshot) not even a second after running around a corner just because for some reason the things fully charged.

And dont forget the huntsman which seems to have some form of homing ability, which at times is worse than the ambassador preupdate.

How would that be different from a good soldier or demoman that can make you eat your own giblets at any given range?

Of course I get a bit miffed when im being owned other classes aswell. Its just with snipers you walk out around the corner and bang!, you die instantly. Fighting against other classes I feel more involved in the fight. You scrap for a few seconds before one of you dies or escapes etc.

Im not really blaming those that play sniper. I dont personally hate those people. They're just good at what they do. I just find them much more annoying.

With a 16 player team it's near-impossible to kill all of them within 10 seconds and they'd be back on the front lines before you know it anyways. Those chokepoints usually don't last long if the team that has the slight advantage uses correct combination of classes (read: lots of ubers). I've seen countless cases where obvious stalemate points were just steamrolled through by one team, where as the other team can't get near them.

Thats true usually one team does muster all they have and successfully push through but what I find usually happens is that it just moves onto the next choke point, and the process repeats.

Those 10 seconds of less players on the opposing team can be very valuable when you attack. Even if you don't kill all of them you can still push onto the next control point giving you a few valuable seconds before the next wave of enemies comes back with a vengeance. This way I find that you get a nice sense of movement, that the game is more fast paced and that theres allot more going on.

I know my argument is pointless since its not going to change anything and I know if I want to play a balanced game I could always find another server. Just felt the need to rant about it.

...and this is where I probably should come up with something constructive to say, but instead I apparently choose to write this crap
