With spy, then we arrive the problem of how you get yourself INTO that position. If the enemy team communicates spy becomes near impossible to play because the second you try to pick, catch fire, or the second you uncloak, you are in really awkward position, surrounded by enemies, with the person you just killed telling them where you are.

The presence of a sniper makes playing med so much less fun. Have to hide the entire time or you're just dead

I really enjoyed this video, and I thjnk you should make a series out of it. Go through the other "off classes" in the 6's meta, and help shed light on their roles, and even the main 6s classes as well. I like your format too, but I do think there is a happy medium between showing gameplay and facecam. I know for example preach is great at finding it, showing relevent gameplay as examples instead of the raw uncut talking.

I love this video it makes it easy to listen to while playing tf2. Also the insight is rather good with understanding the meta of sniper.

I haven't played TF2 since I did what I wanted in comp mode but your videos are still entertaining and interesting. Keep it up!

[saltysnoopy]

I'm really glad this video was made. I've been playing TF2 for 2 years now and I've been trying to choose a main so I tested out all the characters and all of them I was consistently good at... except Sniper. So I chose Sniper as my main because he's my worst class so when I play in pubs and our team has no Snipers I'll play him but every time I do play him it doesn't feel like I'm contributing to the team or if I was I was getting kills left and right and the team was just doing kills to some players I missed.

Great video I understand better what the Sniper is meant for. He's a situational class which he either has to carry the team or he's useless. So I'll keep that in mind next time I play TF2 so now I'll try to get better at Scout since he's the most OP class in the game right now and my second favourite to play.

What if dmg was based on how far away the enemy is?

[IslarfPokemon]

so you're saying spy is easy? i would like to argue. it's easy to do the kill yeah. but it's not easy to get into that position. it's not luck.

[specialk]

You could alternate between sniper, spy, and roamer to make things less predictable and more interesting to counter the other sniper.

[gibusdrop]

i play sniper a lot but i've never thought about half the thigs yous said. Very interenting video mate :)

[maxfennimore]

can you tell me where I can find videos of clockwerk playing sniper full time

[BOXXYwhat]

any class is very deadly in the right hands and the right player

[gigaGrug]

Please do this same video for the spy. I would love to hear your thoughts about this underpowered situational class that I choose to main.

[BenjiShock]

I mean as long as he is situational I think hes fine since the best players can use him to clutch out the game.

I wish you made this before TF2 passed away. 😂
