Why would players that take this team oriented game seriously want the role with the least risk and least contribution to the team, to be buffed more...
If you are asking for buffs than you should probably propose some ideas to make your role less a a kdr pad and more of a contributor.
Doesn't a sniper hiding so far in the recline that the only counter is another sniper, just scream selfish coward?
Why would we want more of this?
Just think if that many more people were sniping in the hills how skirmish would play out. It would ruin the pace of the game.
We already have a problem getting blueberrys to work towards objectives, thats why we added a new wp mechanic.
I could be wrong but how would this help the game at all?
see that's the problem with the assault player mentality. and dont get me wrong, i used to play assault scout as well on another char, but they don't seem to see the big picture. all your arguments revolve around skirmish, but there's also ambush and doms. you can slay to win or play the objective. additionally, people don't only like to play as a team. some of us prefer solo play and might even be the X-factor in a win or loss of a match. the big picture, however, is for the class and playstyle to be viable for PC play, not just pub play. all the crying on the forums about snipers comes from pubs in the red. you don't balance weapons and revolve competitive play around pubs and as Aeon stated before, that's map design not the weapon itself causing the issues. if they could fix those issues, even through adding more sockets, then we might have something.
A player or a squad of players farming the enemy redline, CRUs, red objectives, and uplinks is no less selfish than a sniper in the red. Stacked teams or even one good squad already ruin the pace of the game and make matches one-sided. one good sniper is all it takes to make (at least ambush and doms) it a game changer.
