TF2bros, give me one reason why pic related shouldn't be removed from the game
I don't think anyone would care about snipers being removed from video games in general. They always are the least fun part of a game.
just make it so if the Sniper does a headshot too early he will only do 75 damage
>rocketdabs on top of you
nothin personnel mate
at comp level he's borderline useless
at casual level he is a casual filter and is necessary to teach bad players the game
he has tons of counters:
>another sniper
>spy
>scout
>anyone within 25ft of him
>any projectile or bullet fired at him
>being on fire
>any class that can rocket/sticky/flare jump to him
>simply not walking out in the open
This already happens. You have to wait a second after you scope in for a shot to register as a headshot, otherwise you'll just get a normal bodyshot instead.
this
also dont let headshots count as headshots at close range
>spy
>countering sniper when sniper has 5 different items that counter spy
Him being useless in comp is a reason for him being removed (then again valve has never cared about comp seriously)
>already mentioned, pretty much his only solid counter
>his many alternate weapons/utilities
>risky, because snipes is usually buried deep in his team, but ill give you that
>good luck getting that close
>good luck firing at him without him firing at you and killing you faster
>darwins danger shield
>predictable movement leads to getting headshot
>you mean where 90% of the objectives are?
Because there would only be 8 classes then and no long range class.
3 items in total, user and all of them can be countered right back.
>backstab shield
Ambassador.
>jarate/bleeding machete
Dead ringer.
