I personally would rather my scout go sniper or spy pushing/defending last than have my roamer throw his dick at a wall for 10 minutes

in both of these situations you are pretty much guaranteed either a net kill or a trade as the sniper. the non sniper team bombing a soldier in means that the soldier is taking a percent chance of actually killing the sniper, many times the soldier wont be successful. When he is he dies right after to the sniper's team. This means the team without a sniper cant push or anything because its an even trade and effectively a reset. Then the player can just come back up on sniper. its the same for spy. in most situations using a spy to get a sniper means the spy will die right after and still has a chance of being spotted early, being heard, etc.

"all of you peek me at the same time" is another bad argument because you just shoot one of them without putting yourself in any danger and instantly create a player advantage for your team. you dont even have to headshot them you can hit someone for 150 and call it and your other scout can pepper that guy a few times from a safe distance and he's dead.

The only viable counter I can see is battalions backup which is an incredibly situational weapon and you have to build it up first meaning you have to peek the choke which means you run the risk of getting sniped many times before you get the banner.

Rainnjust bomb me or everyone peek at the same time i cant kill all 6 of u lol

So option A I'm 100% down 1 before the fight has even started and just hoping that my roamer is able to kill or at least suppress a sniper with a full buff playing with his combo, and option B I have to push multiple chokes fast enough that there's no real opportunity to clear shit or check spots and one of my players is taking 150-450 again before the fight has started. Then I'm stuck in a dm fight against a class that can still do 150-450 to anyone they can see while still playing in a position to leave fast.

I'm not saying its impossible to play against a sniper or some shit, but its def. aids to play against. Id honsestly rather play against any of the other offclasses fulltime tbh

you guys realize there's many interesting and effective methods of doing sacs

one of them is not doing a simple telegraphed bomb with no spam or distractions from your team

nothing irks me more than watching open teams stalemate for 7 minutes while doing literally nothing effective and then blame the game

this has been a psa, please be more creative

most of us are not talking about open. we are talking about sniper in general, especially at higher levels

edit:someone make a thread so we dont derail open thread further
(unless this is a tactic to get more posts on the open thread)

Thanks to Noir for bringing me back out of retirement to play again, they will be much improved with Tery at the helm.

I enjoyed it a lot :)
