[quote=“jollyRacer;160018”]@Laionidas I can see why you say that Snipers are not a game essential class but if that’s the case, the game should only be filled with Engineers, Medics and Assault mercs shouldn’t it?
Having a great sniper on your team can make a world of difference. Previously on a DirtyBomb competition, Taimou from BzNs was the mvp for being such a crack shot. It’s from the DBNation Finals.
That’s how powerful a sniper is, my friend. You’re definitely mistaken if you think that snipers are not essential.[/quote]
Really, referring to a single player from a top level competitive match says absolutely nothing about overall class balance or importance.
Also, there’s a distinct difference between being able to contribute (effectively) and being essential. For example: music, culture in general, they all contribute greatly to quality of life, but in a survival situation, you go for the essentials like food and shelter.
A good sniper (which by the way is pretty much a contradictio in terminis in pub matches) can win a team a game, but you can still win the game without one. Winning the game without a medic on engineer is a whole other story.
