Wrong.

TF2 is not a competitive game, it doesn't have to be balanced. It's designed around all the players having very low skill, so who's powerful or useless changes essentially at random.

please no competent sniper gets killed by a spy.

>>385686991
No one is countered by Spy.

Snipers are only countered by disadvantageous terrain.

>>385687492
Why are you trying to argue with an *actions* person? It's always going to end in bullshity like *it was a hologram*? You will never win

>>385687318
>implying you'll have the chance to fire a shot before he instantly quickscopes you
Anon, obviously the class isn't balanced with people using aimbots in mind. This is a problem with Valve's anti-cheat recognition, not with the Sniper's balance.

>>385687318
maybe get good or something
learn to strafe, jump be less predictable

Valve already said that there wont be a Sniper in TF3. Spy could easily be reworked to fill Sniper's role anyway.

>>385687683
>jump
>be less predictable

Pick one. You don't understand the game very well if you think jumping gets you anything other than easily headshot.

>>385686818
so let's say sniper could land 100% accuracy in a white room against a raging soldier cuck
this white room has no props whatsoever and there are no crits, guess who would win

Spy having the lowest overall power level in a general sense doesn't mean no-one gets countered by him in specific situations.

Can't aim too well while being burnt, exploded or meatshot can ya?

A sniper has to be extremely good to pose a threat against other, classes at a higher skill level

>>385687956
With the exception of the mlp avatar I do this to annoy people.

>>385687757
Even the implication that Valve ever says anything is a bold claim, you're gonna have to provide a source.

>>385688874
Make sure you spam binds like "noob down" or "kill confirmed"

>>385689132
One of the lead designers said that there would be no sniper in tf3 thanks to the lack of counterplay and prevalence of aimbotting a few years ago.

That was said a long fucking time ago, before valve stopped making video games and TF2 became a mlp hat simulator with new sjw devs, doesn't make it any less true.

Tf2 sniper was the best I've ever been at a shooter, he's so beast. Even post-cosmetics, characters and their animations are so clear

>>385690518
Yeah as much as I hate the more absurd cosmetics I've still never had any issues identifying a class from their silhouette in that respawn wallhack.

>>385690410
You're delusional if you think Tf2 has new devs let alone boogeymen SJW ones. The team has like 4-5 programmers left.

>>385687098
>TF2 is not a competitive game
that's changing.

That said, OP is a faggot. Sniper is balanced for competitive play.

>>385687098
t. pyro main

>>385687318
no competent spy cant kill a sniper
1 backstab or 2 ambassador crits

>>385686818
who the fuck cares
it's tf2

>>385688078
He's right though. Jumping as anyone without a second jump is suicide against sniper.

>>385686818
Snipers problem is all his unlocks eliminating any counterplay, seriously remove razorback and danger shield and he gets easily fucked.

Its called airstrafing and crouch spam, hell sometimes I do full 360s just to fuck with the hitboxes.

>>385693269
This was my thoughts when I saw this thread. FPS doesn't get much more casual than TF2 (excluding Overwatch).

Actually anon (not him) the health bonus on the Darwin's Danger Shield completely negates the explosive damage vulnerability. You die in exactly the same amount of shots to pills or rockets as normal.

What
You mean melee or quickscope? Because it's false for both.
