I'm that sniper. :smug:
I just played 2 rounds on doublecross map as spy. I managed to cap the first and third intel on first round while also dominating someone. He got his revenge and domionation as the BB Pyro, which gave one of them a reason to taunt me, even though most of the other team had barely 4 or 5 points at the time.
I finally managed to get my revenge on that bastard with übersaw's crit. And the next time I met him, I critted his ass again!
Feels good man.

Hello there! Did I remember to give you a back rub yet? *snort*

I can't figure how to draw this, but I finally, FINALLY got a familiar fez, and can complete the saharan spy set.
That lack of decloak sound.....my god

This is why I prefer sniper rifle over the sydney sleeper

I had a feeling duncan would be with me on this. I'm also 99% sure the backburner isn't even banned in most competitive leagues. It's just a shitty weapon. :geno:
Leagues ban weapons because they're unbalanced in a 6v6 format. For example, they recently banned bonk, sandvich, and sleeper. In pubs, those are either balanced or considered useless in comparison to their vanilla counter parts or some other unlock for the same slot, but in a 6v6 format, they're unbalanced and just not fun to play against.
Common misunderstanding: Leagues ban weapons to keep matches FUN and FAST. Weapons that slow the game down and are not fun to play against are banned to keep everything enjoyable for the player and the viewer.
Don't be so ignorant. :\

How the hell is Bonk unbalanced?
Or the ScoRes, a general downgrade in comp when jumping (a pain with the Resistance) and quick spam are so important.
Or the DH which is useless against people with a spacebar who can avoid just about ALL damage.
Sleeper is good against heavies when it's a pain to fully charge for one but a 6v6 sniper should be good enough to do better with headshots against the cookie cutter setup.
Kind of okay with a sleeper ban because it's a travesty of a weapon. NO HEADSHOT SNIPER ugh
I for one do think Jarate and Milk should be banned, though. It's shenanigoats to throw a jar of piss and take a rocket + two long range shotgun pellets to down a medic.

Oh boy here we go again.

incoming drama

Since the pistol is pretty shitty, you really aren't trading much for bonk. What it provides FAR outweighs the pistol. A friend was once dared to list 20 uses for bonk. He listed 32. I kept his list for fun.
Most of these are kind of redundant or just silly, but a lot of them are pretty legitimate uses of bonk in 6v6 and considering the only thing you lose is that piss poor pistol, it's a pretty unbalanced trade off.Code:checking if they're running a sniper checking if they're running a heavy checking if they're running an engineer seeing if they have two scouts and sollies checking for sentries distracting sentries checking for kritz living through kritz checking sticky traps getting past sticky traps checking positions looking around corners bodyblocking distraction pushing through a choke without uber pushing through a choke with uber getting through spam safely getting out of a spawncamp getting behind a team with impunity and without risk timing crit heals picking people out of position pushing last opening doors for snipers with no risk of being picked hiding behind a team, picking someone, then bonking out bonk as they're pushing mid, free backcap escaping from failed flanks escaping from failed backcaps escaping from bad midfights escaping from failed pushes escaping from failed holds escaping because you blow and were in a terrible position but lived anyways because you have soda that makes you invincible making people mad
I didn't even talk about those.
Thanks to the faster charge time, a sniper with the sleeper can quickly charge shots to one shot the scouts and the medic, as well as tag the power classes, leaving them extremely easy to pick off for the scout or whoever happens to be in good position to deal with the poor bastard who is lit up AND takes 33% extra damage. The fact that they don't even have to try for headshots just makes it even worse.
Yeah, here we go again. Conflict. Don't you just hate when people talk about weapon balance? Let's keep hurp durping about June 21st.
Edited:
People need to learn the difference between perfectly civilized weapon balance and drama.
-
The scout pistol is the second best finisher in the game (after soldier shotgun).
12 boolets at 10-15 damage per shot (while escaping at mid range) is perfect for downing a med or demo after two scatter shots.
That's a good list but escapability and checking for various obstacles an unbalanced weapon does not make.
I gotta go jerk some chicken, the grill's hawt
-
If you can't aim, why are you playing as the bloody Sniper?This is why I prefer the Sleeper over the Sniper Rifle.
Yeah, but then the pistol's horrible spread makes it miss half the shots, if that few.
And thirdly:
I was the one who dared him! And you consider henor to be a friend?
:psyduck:
-
The pistol would be good if the spread wasn't so awful.
And yes, turning a situation where you trade a kill for a death into just getting a pick and running back to your team is unbalanced in 6v6.
-
I agree with you in some things but you express your opinion and facts in a bad way without respecting other opinions.
-
Yeah, because this topic was about the 21st and not funny pictures.
I suppose it doesn't matter any more now, though. We were overdue for a Weapons Balance: Text edition v2, I suppose...
-
I tend to stand firm when I argue. I don't pussyfoot around and say "well, that's, like, how I feel... but whatever you think is fine too." If I come off as an asshole, well, sorry. That's just how I argue.
-
-
Well the general chat thread has degenerated into that. I'll never understand why people get so upset about a minor thread derailing to the point where they decide to shit post as well and complain.
Edited:
Honestly, what does this contribute to the topic at hand? It's contentless shitposting. It's no better than what I'm doing.
-
when sneakman starts telling people to stop shitposting it's time to bail
-
Hey atleast you aren't bitching about Spy Watches.
Yet.
-
I can't make headshots is the real problem. Body shots are easy, since that's what you do with 98% of the weapons in the game.
Yeah, the Sleeper kind of defeats the purpose of being a Snipah ('boom headshot pwnt' part, at least), but I think it's really helpful to a team, since being Jarate'd stops enemies from charging when they usually do, allowing that cart push/cap to happen with little casualties, along with other aspects.
Plus, I use the Croc-o-Style set (which requires the Sleeper) to give an edge against other Snipers.
-
Well, not a close one or anything. He gave me a lot of help with configs though. That was cool of him, at least.
-
Sneakman you shit up the things that annoy you with your vast knowledge of weapons....why here too?

Mr.Mustachio confirmed for Pyro.

I really think that reaction images are overdone and that last panel would have been better without it.
but that aside, it's a good story and that is the reason I occasionally roll shotgun heavy.
-
Gotta love doing that
-
In a CnD spy's mind: "I'm making this sniper fuck up his shots!"
In reality: "Haha, I'm such a bad sniper."

I AM CREDIT TO TEAM

So why did Max Head go down in value? Did someone give a whole bunch of them away?
