Sniper should not crit on headshot unless his charge is at 100%.
If one professional Sniper is on the enemy team and gets 120+ points in a game where the average is ~40, the team with this guy will always always win.
>Just countersnipe. That not only FORCES you to play a class you're disinterested in playing as, but you'll have to basically be able to outplay the guy that devoted himself to playing as him for 6k hours. If you don't have another Sniper main in your team to take him on, well, you better be ready to see that loss screen.
>What do then? The problem with Sniper is that, if he peaks at you for a half second, you take 150 damage no buts no ifs. There is NOTHING you can do to react to this class, and it's quite bad that he's the only one that has this matchup perk.
Now, if Sniper could only headshot when fully charged, then he would still be the long-range class-picker he is, and it would severely make him more interesting to play; Do you go for the secured bodyshot damage and hope your team picks your target off, or do you expose yourself a little longer and risk being seen to go for the guaranteed kill?
Then, Sniper would be perfectly fair to fight against in all scenarios, given that since he could only instakill you if and only IF he hid from your gaze for a minimum of three seconds, he has the right to pick you off given that he genuinely outplayed you. This is another problem of Sniper; he is a direct upgrade to Spy. Where Spy has to risk himself to get a clean pick, Sniper can currently do the job immediately and from a secure distance with absolutely no risk. The keyword is that: RISK. Spy is high reward, high risk, but current Sniper is high reward, low risk.
Not to mention it would be a light nerf to all aimbot hacks.
I remember seeing a sniper, him look down his scope, and then i died, all in 1.3 seconds. I still get PTSD from it.

maybe dont have lead finger on the w key user zig zag a lil, hit the crouch button once in a while im sure youll find yourself without a new haircut every 2 seconds
Sniper should be able to quickscope. Possibly his damage should be nerfed so he can't 1hit ko.
Soldier should have a semi auto rifle instead of a shotgun and not do self damage. This way he could bounce around sniping people like in a fun FPS quake
Scout... scout... scout... I don't know, maybe give him a rocket launcher or something, who honestly cares
>Sniper should not crit unless at 100% This just kills the class entirely, that's a fucking stupid thing to think of. If there was a small delay from scoping to crit damage however, we can talk.
