BLoodSireSo what that it's a good sniper map? That might make it a bit more interesting if a team with a sniper like Flippy had a Yukon as an option to pick in bo3's. A criticism of 6's is how we isolated the other classes; and a criticism of this statement is that cookie cutter classes are actually just the best. Mostly true, but a lot of people forget the map pool has been pruned and fabricated (literally: see pro_viaduct) to suit what is best for the traditional class lineup. Take a look at i55. Even the most mundane head-shot creates so much hype on stream. It's a shame we gravitated away from maps that let other classes shine.
Sincerely,
- Totally not a Sniper main
A sniper can already have massive impact, enough that nR was running sniper to mid in some situations. Make the maps even better for sniper to the point where sniper can be run full time and be even more effective and the game slows to a crawl. If you've ever watched a highlander match, it's really not that exciting for two teams to sit back, buff their sniper, and hope that he wins the svs duel.
