A good sniper on Defenders will wreck Attackers. A bad sniper on Attackers might as well be an empty slot. Unfortunately for Attackers, most snipers are bad.
If there were a filter option for “No Snipers” I would only play on those servers.
snipers ruin pub play

i gotta tell you, once i was like you. hating on sniper,
saying sniper cant play shit
well you are right!
but, would you like to have a very cool sniper teammate?
i mean, where else those noob people gonna train their sniping?
you gonna have to resort to badmouthing them with sarcastic chats until they understand why they keep on failing.
for good snipers? you just gotta hide. they cant shoot you from accross the meap if youre always behind cover and dissapear only to emerge on other side of the map and kill that sonsofditches

I have no problems with pro Vassilies but 110 HP on him with Super high RPM of MOA is quite insane in the hands of good players. Even when I use him I feel like he is way to tanky as long range sniper. Tbh, after all smg’s range have changed to 18ms Burst rifles are only thr best way to take them out unless you flank with the shotgun.
I just hope they roll back the HP and RPM of MOA that were buffed at the same time when Felix was buffed.
Sustaining two Dreiss headshot, whole headshot of Stark’s burst which is all 108 damage… this is so damn annoying.

You ever see a bad medic? At least with a bad sniper, you know they’re hopeless. With a bad medic, you’ll get your hopes up when they sprint toward your body, writhing in pain… However, they’ll just run mindlessly past you and never pay attention to the dozens of chat messages of you describing how to revive a teammate.
They’ll also never place down their healing station or throw med packs unless it’s for themselves.

The main problem is not even being bad, just sitting back doing nothing instead of pushing with the team. This is a recurring problem in pubs, snipers just exacerbate it because they tend to stay as far away as possible, but other people do it too with all other mercs.

Nothing is more useless than offensive sniper. Even an artillery class like Skyhammer can drop ammo on Underground.

It’s because the sightlines are ridiculous and there’s very few flanking routes on a lot of maps.

Ever seen a bad player that doesn’t know how to V-2-1? I ignore anyone that doesn’t help me. Not running around looking for them because yelling at me to defib them doesn’t give me their location. Happened quite a few times tonight.

but really a good sniper on offense or defense can do some work. on offense, you can pick off some valuable targets like medics or fire supports if youre pushing an EV, or nip off people on mounted MGs. on defense…well, im pretty sure you know what snipers on defense can do, pretty much everything an offense can do in addition to not really needing to move around much since the enemy comes to them.

I still feel bad for the otherwise good team we fought yesterday who thought it was a great idea to push Chapel’s last objective with three (!) snipers.

Speaking of snipers. Two days ago i played attacking side on chapel on last objective (8v8 objective). My team kinda got stuck on that point for a while. Until a guy on the opposing team suggested we should use more snipers on our side to push and guess what? From only having 2 snipers at the start ( and the enemy team had 3) we got up to 4 snipers (they still had 3) and we actually won the game ^^.
Ofc most of my team thanked this certain person for the wonderfull tip of having more snipers on the attacking team.
Oh boy, vassili is really a game changing merc.

what about bad snipers on defense? those guys make your job as attacker easier. or good snipers on attack? say bye bye to your MG killstreak, MGs are a vassilis easiest target.
1v1 me bro, im the king of first bloods.

just make it one slot per team for snipers.done.snipers most often encourage KD ratio play mentality in a objective based game.
id say most games results as many know here in 3 snipers per team mostly bad snipers sitting in the previous spawn not pushing up while the guys actually trying to progress are getting killed over and over because your 3 men down to a full team defending.
they end up with positive KD you lose the game and end up for the priveledge of trying to complete the objective of the game with NEGATIVE kd for all your efforts.
one sniper per team.make it so. or reward less for sniping kd and make it worth pushing for objectives.give points for actually moving forward.you could even make camping timers that cause damage to snipers who actually do nothing for the objective so they move.or at aleast help.
