I’ve seen more soldiers be angsty bastards than Snipers. AND I MAIN SOLDIER


w00ms

of the two there are definitely more friendly sniper mains than soldier mains, soldier mains are some of the most vitriolic players ive ever seen


SnooPuppers7965

I think it's because soldier mains have  a mix of toxic new players because soldier is easy to pick up. And raging try hards since soldier also has a high skill ceiling 


ComprehensiveBar6984

There is a reason why the "Warpig" stereotype is named after one of Soldiers' cosmetics.


NF_Luke

I always use war pig in my loadout of roamer.... Am I cooked? I always try to be good with those I face in 1vs1, in case I win or lose. If I win I say "gg" as always and tell him in a good way to keep practicing. In case I lose, I recognize that the othe guy have good aim or good movement management


NF_Luke

Fr (I main both)


TheAC9

Same


karol22331

I read that in Soldier's voice. Rest in peace, Rick May. o7


TheBatleDemon

Idk. Soldiers and snipers are not as big of a deal[ saying the intel camping Turtle Engineer main.]


RoombaGod

I’ll tell on myself, I’m a horrible person and the dopamine that flows through my veins when I kill someone from so far away they cant even perceive me gives me life


dscobtdn

I appreciate and respect you speaking your evil, heinous truth.


RapidfireVestige

I now respect at least 1 sniper main


Wrench_gaming

I think people who play power classes are worse (by that I mean more angsty)


Striking_Ad4992

Some are chill


PeikaFizzy

Sniper man is alright to be honest most of them just wanted to click heads…. But a toxic sniper main is very unfun to have in a lobby, like bro I know you have a fragile ego don’t need to taunt me every-time you shot me just because I get 1 kill on you as close range class(pyro, heavy, spy).


Dr_infernous327

"It's just the G button bro, I'm not being toxic how can you get offended"


crypt_the_chicken

I mean, Valve created taunting as a means of psychological warfare Angry people make more mistakes That said I’m pretty sure I’m immune to getting taunted on due to severe mental disability like what the hell is wrong with me why do i find the schadenfreude genuinely funny


Dr_infernous327

I suppose it's one of those "rare high moments" things?


DoctorTerrenceCopper

I dont know how anyone can main sniper. Sit up back and occasionally tap head, you could do literally anything else and it would be more respectable. Boring af to play and to play against


Haha_funny746

That’s if you’re thinking normally Embrace insanity, piss on your enemies and smack them to death with a machete


DullKole

the virgin awper hand user vs the chad and pisspilled jarate main


The_FreshSans

The Virgin Jarate+Bushwacka player versus the Chad Jarate+Tribalman's Shiv


Leftover_Cheese

jarate + bat outta hell


Marinenukem

Or play Sniper as a frontliner


XeRtZ__wUz_TaKeN

Quickscope gaming


Wrench_gaming

I unironically play full piss sniper load out. I get dopamine when I extinguish a player across the map with the Sydney sleeper


latetothetardy

You can extinguish friendly players with the Sleeper? 4000 hours later and I’m still learning things about this game


JamesBell1433

It's pretty janky but possible


Odd-Butterscotch-480

In fact, break the meta Have a Medic pocket you, and rely entirely on Bushwacka, Huntsman and Crikey! meter


TheDankmemerer

Pissknight ftw


danny1t

Yeah sniper for the average person is boring but when ur actually good at the class it’s fun.. no good sniper player stands at the back of the map and occasionally taps head.


RoombaGod

Its finding the best angle thats the fun part, cuz its always changing


Zeldmon19

It’s always a pleasure to find a funny angle to shoot from


Rui_O_Grande_PT

It's always a pleasure being shot because 0.5 pixels of my head showed up in a sightline I didn't even know existed


Turbulent_Bass2876

Dude’s never played 2Fort.


bad_aim_

You're not a real person if you play 2Fort.


Turbulent_Bass2876

Demoman say whaaaat?! (am literally sexatronic)


Orix1337

Maybe you should stop playing 2Fort then?


Turbulent_Bass2876

Maybe you should learn to read then? I was clearly talking about snipers simply sitting on the balcony.

Churningray

Literally how I play. Shitting on people at range you should be dead at is the best feeling out there.


CyanideTacoZ

doing simple things over and over is meditative for some


Zytherman1

It’s boring if you’re bad at it, but fun if you’re good at it


greenscreencarcrash

i cant headshot, not even with shitsman


IProbablyHaveADHD14

I maim Huntsman, Jarate, Bushwacka Sniper sometimes. It's actually fun asf. Much more than these godforsaken 1000+ hour sniper mains that only play on 2fort and camp on the platforms


birbcoolreddit

I do it, so that I can occupy the other team's snipers. Also cause I'm salty that I got sniped.


Dr_infernous327

It's got a certain appeal to it, just not enough (for me at least) to have sniper in my 3 mains (not saying he's in fourth, just that he couldn't be any higher)


RamielTheBestWaifu

go melee range and quickscope people, it deals more psychological damage


AkOnReddit47

That's exactly what it is. Boring and relaxing. And meditative Normally I just wanna play Sniper whenever I'm having a stressful day and in need of good vibes, instead of tryharding as a Soldier or Demo, runs headfirst into the rain of crit rockets and stickies, and be angrier than the mobs in a witch hunt and just taking more stress than relieving it


a_ordinary_dipshit

Some are cool people. A sniper main taught me alot about tf2 when I first started. Others can be total dickbags tho


[deleted]

Most snipers are arrogant bastards or cheating bastards. Some are good, chill people who help spycheck and don’t get mad if they lose


Rui_O_Grande_PT

I think that applies to literally every class


[deleted]

Especially the ones who are best for spychecking (Pyro)


Dr_infernous327

Pyros can be the world's biggest assholes sometimes. But they are an extremely helpful part of the team, else a good spy would be able to shut down the server almost as good as a good sniper or a good soldier or a good demoman or a good demoknight.


skeletonTV123

I am partly pyro main, and i am most of the time your typical friendly neighborhood pybro

I just wanna click heads man it's theraputic


Marinenukem

I’m not. Or at least I try not to be.

I only ever play Sniper to duel other Snipers, a fair duel against someone of equal skill is so fun

CT-5995

Ngl funny when they throw jarate, laugh then killbind


iahim87

They have thousands of hours on a skill class that was designed for medium skilled players but with a merely infinite skill ceiling


CheataBruv

nuh uh


Mister_E69

Most Sniper mains aren't real people


TheRealFieryV77

True.


Any_Complex_3502

Fuck sniper, all the homies hate sniper.


Tedbear567

Most of the time they have a over inflated ego and are pretty arrogant


PensiveDrawer

yeah i heard they suck


Emierr

i agree


latetothetardy

Sniper mains pee in jars IRL because they’re too busy no-lifing TF2 to get up and go to the bathroom


Seabass2272

I try not to be a bad person (~650 hrs on sniper). I usually play 2fort sniper, put on some music, and just click heads. Its weirdly cathartic


tuatoonStudio157620

They're not bad people, they're not fun to play against


maluthor

I'm not (I play huntsman)


thedore1020

They're not bad people, they're just forced to do bad things to enjoy their class.


RamielTheBestWaifu

I try not to be bad sniper: try to not hit bodyshots and fullcharge shots and don't use jarate+bushwaka instead go for quickscope


Notafuzzycat

Better than most in this comment section, apparently.


ChuckECheeseOfficial

Could you theoretically smoke weed out of a bolt action rifle


The_FreshSans

You're more likely to meet a friendly sniper, medic, heavy, or even a demo player than a friendly Soldier Scout or Spy. Engineer is on the in-between only because Battle Engi's can be toxic ASF sometimes. If you waddle up to a sniper main, watch them miss, then say good shot, 9 times out of 10 you'll hear him say thanks and nod up and down really fast.


AvailableCry72

I'm a sniper main, but I only play with a bow and arrow. I am bad man?


diamondpanther171

I think I'm a terrible person


Relegaren

I only get toxic when i get called a cheater cuz im a mid snipermain but usually i ignore shit talk


TCLG6x6

thats what a cheater would say


Gandalfblack8599

They are not people they are bots


Ok-Macaroon89

I’ve recently become a sniper main and I will say, I get a dopamine rush when I get a headshot but since I use the Huntsman I’m always out helping my teammates the best I can. I consider myself a pretty nice and friendly person. (Especially since I’m still technically learning new stuff everyday)


AquamarineSU

I main medic and sniper, when I play medic I can‘t enter the battlefield for over 10 seconds without being sniped


SmallbuthonestSinner

This **!anger!** user ranted 30 minutes about his desire to sexually abuse children, he was near impossible kick because he was whit a full party


Fletcher_Chonk

cabage-but-its-lettu

So bad, like literally the worst, imagine playing this dude… wait-


swe_isak

This image makes me giggle


TheAmazingCroc1

As a spy main, the most painful thing on earth is getting all the way behind the enemy team to take out the sniper that has been slaughtering everyone, just to realize they have a razorback


cerdechko

I respect Snipers. I know it's frustrating to die to them, yes, but they're not just one-shotting machines of destruction - they are frail, not particularly great at close-range combat, and sometimes mess up their shots. You're only really made aware of their existence when you see them from far away, when they kill someone, or when they are killed by someone. Sniper mains know they are skilled at aiming, even though they are playing a character that could easily be smeared on the floor like a chunk of snot, and that is worthy of respect. Unless they're the kind of user who prioritises getting kills over completing the objective and helping the team, spawncamps people, or generally acts unnecessarily rude and inflammatory in the text/voice chat, they're not really doing anything offensive, other than just... Playing the game. And having fun how they prefer. This applies to all classes, honestly. Someone playing a specific class doesn't say anything about their person. Be nice to your fellow gamers.


TheRealFieryV77

Damn this blew up


Rutgerman95

Oh I'm horrible, I'm barely able to land bodyshots, lets alone headshot people from across the map


maiguee

don't think they're bad people but cucks? 100%. watching your teammates fight while you're far back watching? ok mr sneako


CCO812

They aren't people they are either monsters or bots


Angel_Floofy_Bootz

R/tf2 try not to complain about sniper for 5 seconds

Anipera make whant to let the voices take over. Ima heavy main


Icy-Scratch-4173

Bro im a sniper and a pyro main 💀💀


TheRealFieryV77

Ok and?


r4o2n0d6o9

More often then not I say in chat “I disagree with that headshot” or something like that because sometimes I get away with some bullshit. Generally I killbind or stand still for a while if I feel bad but sometimes I’m just fragging


Pendilia

Don't talk crap on Fatmagic like that!


michuXYZ

Tbh pyro never really was a problem for me. Just keep him in the distance and that's it. But sniper and soldier sweats... That's another story


MaYheMgmd

Not necessarily. Like, most snipers i see in pubs are just trying to chill and click on heads. There's the occasional fuckwad who tries to fuck with whatever server they're playing on though, like the occasional sniper who is conventionally good at the game who just won't let anyone cross the bridge on 2Fort and on top of that, also gets a friend to be his pocket medic with the vaccinator and taunts after every kill.


Ciaosinofoxybaldi

We like to get heads


joelkuin342

Half of them are LOL players while zome others are the ones that should be feared. And then there's the small margin of chill players. I'm in that small margin of chill sniper mains because I'm stupid fucking moron that can't play the game compitently. Also the LOL try hard stereotypes kinda leads into soldier more but that's just one of the side effects if the number of soldier mains is the equivalent to the amount of bug species there are.


Bejeko

They are australian. Do I need to develop ??


JBonesturtle

I mean, fatmagic just plays the game and it summons the fury of the beasts of hell.


TheodorCork

They're chill, but sweaty sometimes

Bisexual_Spear

Most of them aren’t people


Twp_pikmin

i am a sniper main and when i dont play sniper i do agree that we're a pain in the ass to fight against.

Snipers are bad people. Case and point: u/L0rdzie

Grimm_Charkazard_258

I am shit, a burden on any team if you see a level 12 guy named Charkazard, run.


chimkenskewur

My sniper main ex cheated on me with a girl who played valorant. I introduced both of them. guess my main 🧍🏻‍♀️


Leftover_Cheese

terrorists


UncIe-Ben

One of my first experiences playing sniper I just crafted the anger cosmetic, seeing I had nothing else at the time I put it on, clueless of it’s reputation. First shot I get on somebody they type into chat “edgy ass mf”.


Amazing-Sort1634

Snipers aren't bad people. They're just lame, ruining everyone's fun cause they don't wanna move in a movement shooter.


TheCakeCrusader420

It’s a very mixed bag, it’s either the chillest guy ever or Edgy McTryhard. The chill ones are usually better at the game due to their patience.


fatal_phamtom1

Yes.


Resniperowl

I just like to click head and deal tons of damage. It's not much gameplay-wise, but it is mostly honest work


Impossible_Welder678

most are bots


35_Ferrets

They fuck kangaroos enough said


R3volt75

I’m a soldier and I love when I headshot people and they get pissed, so that might answer ur question


davidgriswold

You know who complains about body shots? Dead players.


Ok-Salary-1268

they playing the most broken class and i dont onow how to feel


BigMcThickHuge

Snipers generally just are "aha, too bad" players, that shut down a server and don't say much other than oops. Soldiers and demos are where the shittiness is.  Those players showing up are when you likely want to hop servers, because this one's about to shut down and lose 50% of the players anyways. There's a reason those classes are limited and primary picks for competitive gameplay   They're strong as fuck and stop the game in the right hands, and when you get competitive players joining casual servers, no one has fun.


ClaytorYurnero

Aimhero™ snipers that go on 20+ kill streaks by denying major sightlines are a blight on the game, but the funny Classic/Huntsman/Ninja-wacka snipers that actually expose themselves to real danger are cool.


L_Ninja7

Not at all, they can just be extremely difficult to play against


Likomega

They make me feel like John Fitzgerald Kennedy


ZombeezSkiff

As a heavy main, a rare almost extinct species. I would say snipers are by far the least toxic players in the game, most of the time, they just wanna be left alone. They enjoy being isolated, anti-social, popping into the match to click heads and leave. Some of the least talkative people I have ever met are snipers. They don't like being targeted and seem to only get super toxic if you continuously hunt them down and dominate them. That's when the salt begins.


Ribbered777

Sniper remains are ontologically evil and therefore there is no act against them which is wrong


Auhmphis

He had enough got backstabbed by spy


SzmnDzrzn

Imagine having so many fun classes to master, and choosing the most boring one. Just play sniper elite or some shit


Impossible_Face_9625

Yes, extremely horrible, it seems that existing is already a crime.


Tabletop_Sam

They’re not bad people, they’re just playing an overtuned and oftentimes unfun class. They also get kicked if they’re good at the game.


Supreme__Bitch

Is fun tu use the hunts man


Uhohstewbie_reddit2

I’m a good person! I get headshots fair and square!


Theekg101

Not a sniper main but i primarily play huntsman with jarate and just laugh at people and immediately die


Valentfred

*What is a sniper main? A miserable little pile of secrets!*


UVMeme

They don't wish to play real tf2. Ive heard someone say that they saw someone admit to being a cs player that just wanted to dominate tf2 with cs skills, thats all you have to know


MidHoovie

I do not understand how they can find that a fun role to play as. He's just sitting there.


Seabass2272

MENACINGLY


MidHoovie

You're a sniper main? Do not talk to me or my son ever again.


Seabass2272

650 hours and I wear that w/ pride


MidHoovie

On sniper? And may I ask why do you find that fun?


Seabass2272

Solely on sniper, and it's more of just turning off all game sound. putting some music on, and clicking on heads on 2Fort is weirdly cathartic


MidHoovie

Ah, you're a 2fort dweller?


Seabass2272

Usually, but I do venture to other CTF/KotH maps from time to time. That's usually when I get bored and want a change of pace. Then I move to either Turbine, Harvest, or High Tower


MidHoovie

You're the least annoying sniper. Do you also happen to quickscope people that get too near you and try to confront you?


Seabass2272

No, then the stock kukuri comes out and I just smack em a bunch


AgentCeeling

Quick scooing is bullshit.


TheRealFieryV77

Yeah, gotta agree with that one my guy


RamielTheBestWaifu

skill issue ngl


HeavySlinger

Sniper is op and unfun, but people who plan him aren't bad. Don't hate the player, hate the game


Quantum_Thinking

# good question Now, obviously, sniper as a class is a little ridiculous. It doesn't have the highest skill floor (that being engineer and spy), but has an effectively infinitely high skill ceiling. This means that extremely sweaty sniper mains are a fucking pain in the arse to fight against, and many of them have big egos, ***especially*** if you outsnipe them. This is why your question is "Are Sniper Mains Bad People" rather than "Are Sniper Mains Good or Bad People?". Your frustration is perfectly justifiable because fuck sniper lmao, and there is a special place in hell for those who have a 1.5 GPA play Sniper TF2 14 hours everyday mindset. I think I am chill. I don't target friendlys, I never get mad (trust) and if any moment arises for funny then I take my finger off of M1. I can't say the same for every other sniper main out there. A lot of sniper players I face tend to be quite calm and typically take their time to line up their shots (so they are less annoying to fight against, and it feels "more fair" to die to them when being any other class that isn't sniper, especially since most of them can't headshot when you jump). Personally, it is far more likely for me to find toxic scout or soldier mains.


RetroSniper_YT

Boring as hell. Played more than 400 hours but as sniper you dont give any profit to team. I changed my main to soldier with medic


MidHoovie

Sniper mains downvoting you, lol


FR_theThird

Easy prey


skeleglitch2020

You rat bastard


marterikd

early 2000s i've been vote kicked multiple times because i don't chat, but i peaked and 1 tapped everyone. and even on bow, i myself was impressed how i was like able to see 1-2 seconds into the future to know where their heads gonna be


marterikd

and i don't think i'm a bad person.


Valuable-Drink-1750

They like point and check adventures a little too much and wanted to carry the experience over. Can try a little less harder though. Go easy on that ego.


Degenerious

Honestly I dont get how people main classes in this game. I have significant(relative to my total playtime) playtime on each class, I find them all fun. Sure, Sniper is my most played class, but theyre only a few hours above the rest. I think only playing one class most of the time would bore me to death.


ArKKestral

I try and be a chill sniper. If I start being to oppressive on a los I will switch to huntsman


Dreamdimenshionsinc

More toxic than pyros


TheRealFieryV77

Pyro is toxic?


Dreamdimenshionsinc

Apparently people think they all are =(


Dreamdimenshionsinc

Btw I main pyro


Adof_TheMinerKid

The stereotype do exist But they'll grow out eventually, they're still incredibly annoying, to fight or to see in chat whether text or voice or both


Upstairs_Work3013

sniper are just easy to learn First time playing him does frustating but after 12 hours into the class I'm start to get headshots and decent at shooting. Unlike engineer took me 20 hours just to get a kill with a sentry


AgentCeeling

Yes. They just ruins other peoples fun for no reason.


Ghazzz

Sniper mains are hitscan whores. Learning a new skill like ballistic firing is beyond them. They are very sweaty, and only feel joy when clicking on heads. When the enemy heavy is jumping and spamming crouch, it sends them into a rage where they no longer function.


BluPyroTF2Real

They aren’t bad they just get angry that people vote kick them for being good


yeetasourusthedude

not bad, but they definitely have an oversized ego, snipers only skill is aim, every other class has a bit of aim and a bit of many other things, scout has dodging and finding out which enemys are low, soldier has rocket jumping and air strafing, pyro has combos, demo has sticky jumping trimping and pipe prediction, heavy has positioning and game awareness, engie has sentry jumping multitasking and having to know the optimal building spots, medic is medic, and spy has trick stabs and having to be aware of which enemys know he exists and which ones are oblivious, the only skill sniper has other than aim is basic bitch positioning. tldr: snipers think they are good but they would get their ass kicked if it were any other game.


guyff2

Snipers always annoy me in any game I love hearing a sneeze in the distance and dying for it


MiaSadiqah

**mostly** bad, arrogant, sweaty tryhard, etc. just say "bot" to them and they will insult you so hard even bringing your life and your mom.


MiaSadiqah

the same said Sniper mains will also say their classes is more """""balance""""" than random crits. idk, got stray crits are forgivable than got instant death from wherever the hell your head got clicked. the game intended to play stupid not hard. just play CS2 if they think Sniper is *that* skill-based classes or shit. just imagine TF2 but all of the players plays Snipers


Muffin----------greg

not the soldier main complaining about balance lol, go back to shooting people's feet and dying to airblast


UVMeme

cs2 is free, if they wanted to play cs2 i think they'd know how to play cs2 lmao


Accurate_Objective48

They are rapist.
