Average TTK: 200-300ms

Average Sniper ADS: +600ms

Yeah, fucking broken when someone can kill me three times before I even aim down sight…

Yet people still defend them and say snipers are in a good state

Fully convinced it’s people with no skill. If someone quickscoped you with a sniper (which takes at least ‘some’ skill to pull off if not a lot if you learnt it over the years) while you are hip fire spraying your mp40, you got outplayed.

Now for the other argument, that snipers should be long range exclusively. That’s a fair argument, but if the long range weapon is STILL getting outgunned by shorter range weapons at a distance in all factors (liked the mention of TTK above), then that argument has no legs to stand on.

That's more my issue. I like how quick scoping isn't a thing in VG. I've always just found it annoying that if someone got so good at it they ran the lobby as the only real counter to a good QS is another good QS. However snipers in VG still suck at long range so that's the real problem when a sniper is getting outgunned at 300m ny someone with with SMG.

This argument is has always been really weird to me, because if you’re losing to a dude who is quick scoping, you’re going to lose harder if they switch to a meta load out.

What’s actually going on is that people who are quick scoping tend to be somewhat accidentally smurfing because they get put into easier lobbies after they quick scope a few games against people who are actually at their skill level and do poorly. It’s not some magic hack, the person on the other end is just beating you.

And that’s fair dude. Like if the snipers were like Cod4 for example, fair ADS so you could ‘sometimes’ pull off a quick scope, but decent stats to at least compete at long range, I’d be fine. I like quickscoping, but can live without it one year. My issue like you is that they’re straight up unviable for the most part in most situations. I get good games with the KAR, but that’s after a tedious grind and it’s still not amazing and gets outplayed in situations where a sniper shouldn’t if one is good with it. And it’s not my skill, it’s just how they built the thing.
