Jumpshooting... again.

This thread is getting better and better! Although, why continue to discuss fanboy when no progression is made in any way? It might be an healthy pressure release for some.

Why not find some other way to approach this.

Offered this idea to nerf jumpshot sniping and give it RNG but when it came in the patch, people started defending that idea like they have long agreed with it and have been suggesting it for the longest time. Some may be trolls I’m guessing and it’s really bugging me.

Find one of my posts from last year. It has been offered many times before.

How many here on the forums can claim that Vassili bolt-action jump sniping was an issue to them in ranked 5vs5’s?

And this is actually the major point. What is worse: having the casual and larger part of the community annoyed/raging/rejecting the jump shots. Or having the few pro 5v5 snipers annoyed/raging/rejecting the nerf.

Food for discussion, I think approaching it from this view might bring you all more close together in an accepted proposal.

There is no real pro scene in this game to really balance after, so instead it seems the balancing is done according to the data recorded from pubs.

I mean, look at the weapon statistics from the Fine Tuning Update 02/11/2016, according to that SMG-9 used to be the least effective smg.

I can’t tell for sure about what way do the devs approach the data in order to “balance” things, but if it’s being balanced around pubs, there will never be a real competitive side to this game.

Just make ranked matchmaking appealing so it would become the standard gamemode, then you can have the data you need to actually balance the game.
While I understand the reasoning for the jumpsniping nerf, it’s just a joke to consider it was needed for “balance”.

Lol, I’ve never seen anyone complain about a jump sniping vassili.

Meanwhile fletchers, aura’s and proxy’s get complained about almost every game because they can’t even let go of their space bar. And those 3 mercs all have weapons which can 1/2 shot, so why did vassili deserve this nerf and they didn’t?

Vassili is a 1 shot from any range, the others are 1 shots from close range only.

Can’t defend Fletcher, his stickies are p stupid strong.
