If Sniper is so powerful how comes he is one of the easiest to beat in class wars?

Gameplay accurate Meet The Sniper

Sniper would be perfect if it didn’t have any one-hit kills. Then it would have to actually be a team player and rely on teammates to finish the job or land two shots in a row.

>>718126392
Kind of removes his function of area denial.

>>718126820
Sentries do that too, and in a more interesting way for both the engie and the enemy getting shot at by the sentry.

>>718126037 (OP)
>Kills Sniper in only 2-3 hits
What's the issue?

>>718127207
just jiggle a corner and the sentry loses lol

>>718129942
Which is why it's good, because it prevents you from going that way until you've killed everyone defending around the sentry. You can easily kill the sentry if it's alone, but anyone can easily kill you while you try to chip away at the sentry. Much better than turn corner and instantly die.

>two shots in a row
I've used picrel and it hardly changes much. The engagement distance of 80% of sniper's gameplay is so far that almost every class (other than another sniper) couldn't meaningfully retaliate besides running away for cover, even if you gave them 10 seconds between shots

Capture point/cart is on sniper sight what now? Just wait untill timer reaches 0?

Scout, Soldier, Spy, Demo, and maybe Pyro should coordinate putting pressure on Sniper.

The problem is when the enemy team has a good sniper AND their team is backing them up. Theres not really a good way to balance around this perfect combination but it definitely occurs enough to be a problem.

If he was removed from the game nothing would really change. Spy is still the one hit kill pick class, heavy is still a sitting duck out in the open, sniper solves a problem he creates.

the commando in battlefield heroes is better than tf2's sniper
commando has invisibility so he can actually find a good vantage point besides sitting inside his own spawn

i enjoy sniper as huntsman because it lets me atleast somewhat move around the map
but the rifles are terribly boring. they should be semi auto like battlefield heroes

>>718131674
>>718131725
A Battlefield Heroes fan is a really stupid and irrelevant thing to be roleplaying as.

>>718131323
>Sniper camps behind his team and to reach him you have to get pass through 2 engi nests, enemy scouts/pyros/soldiers/demos leaving teleporter exit and one or more heavies camping near dispenser.
What now?

>>718131798
bfh proves that sniper and spy should be one class

>>718131869
just team harder bro, convince everyone to stack heavy + stock meds.

>>718131869
Seems like the enemy team isn't doing anything but protecting the sniper so overwhelming the cart shouldn't be a problem, one sniper can't kill 8 guys fast enough.

>Engineer main with sniper and spy as secondary picks back when I played it.
You’re welcome.

>>718132016
He literally can though. Immediately you'll go down to 7, his whole team would be firing on you, if his aim is good enough they could clear you out in 10 seconds.

Shit getting 8 people on a cart is a rarer sight than a sniper with cracked aim/aim hacks.

>>718131456
I used to play UGC highlander and some maps, particularly viaduct were basically won or lost on the back of your sniper. People can endlessly spout about sniper being the right powerlevel or not, but in the game as it stands, a sniper with even a little bit of the gamesense to be close enough to be near their team and have something to fall back on and support them while they have open sightlines in return, and there's not a ton that can be done about one (and often cases more than one) dude just standing around just moving his mouse horizontally at head level. Especially one who has autistically farmed tens of thousands of kills and took the bot infestation as a challenge.

>>718131725
this but noscoping with a rifle (not the classic)
as less helpful as it is compared to playing sniper normally, being able to land a bodyshot with 0 spread at any distance is actually pretty damn good.

>decide to play uncletopia for a change because they're playing Thunder Mountain (best payload map)
>BLU has not one, but two cracked razorback furry snipers
>can only watch as the cart rolls to our base
>remember why I don't play uncletopia

if the smg werent so bad i probably would do that more often

>>718126037 (OP)
sniper
>kill 1 or 0 people at a time
engineer
>kills several people at a time with wrangler sentry from the same fucking distance while hiding being a 900 hp wall
>or spams short circuit to shut down the two classes that exist to counter him (the spy is cucked by the pyro camping his nest)
>also has dispencer/teleporter which are the second most broken things in the game after uber

>>718132961
the saving grace of pubs is that there is a chance you can be bad and still play. Alot of community servers boils down to getting raped by regulars

>>718133127
i highly recommend widowmaker + short circuit
the synergy is insane, i basically only ever use those two now
wrangler is probably good but i find it boring to have to rely on having a sentry constantly
