When fighting against Snipers, especially good ones, I've noticed something. Quickscoping seems a bit strong. Too strong. Being able to deal 150 damage instantly at any time from any place seems like a good recipe for an absolute powerhouse of a class. Some people don't think so. Some people think that where Sniper is at is just fine, because "it takes a lot of skill to actually be able to hit quickscopes," but from what I've seen, and from personal experience, uh, nah. Nah, not even close. It may seem hard, and at first it certainly is, but once your aim is up to par, you may become unstoppable. For example, aimbot is a tool that makes a player's aim near perfect. But, some people have already gotten as close to perfect as possible, and to my surprise, it's not even that hard. It just takes time, and some people have a lot of time on their hands. The heads in TF2 may be small, but they're a lot easier to hit up close. This is what makes quickscoping so powerful. With next to no delay on when you scope in versus when you can hit a headshot (yes I'm aware there's a very small nick of time where even when scoped in, you can't headshot), and the head of a certain player being big enough to hit easily, it can feel unfair when you perfectly flank behind the Sniper, but he notices you, scopes in, and before you even notice that he's trying to shoot you, you've already had a bullet attached to your forehead. It can feel frustrating, but when you're the Sniper, it comes as second nature. Unless you haven't played Sniper very much, hitting a shot like that would seem easy, and perfectly fair, but it doesn't look like that from the outside. This is why I think quickscoping should be nerfed. Of course, we can't do much about it ourselves; we'd have to get the TF2 team to pretty much rework Sniper completely, But what do you think? Do you agree with what I'm saying, or do you think I'm just some "salty kid" complaining because I keep getting owned by good Snipers? Has your opinion changed after reading this? Let me know, because I'd love to hear it!
