Snipers have been around since the very beginning. This game is designed for multiple forms of play. Git gud.

Yes, mounts should be in every game

It never quite facilitated snipers, with its god awful/nonexistent flank routes. Sniper would be much better if every map was King’s Row instead of Havana/Junkertown.

“Snipers” dont bother me at all.

Untelegraphed one shots as their “primary attack” however, do.

I have no problems with 1 shots, but i strongly feel they should have telegraphs, audio and visual queues, and appreciable windows where that power is off the table.

why is it not you cant make a clame so blatantly and both snipers were litteraly in the game from the start.

dva she and ball both use vehicles and you cant make an argument for pharah and mercy in a weird way

look at the score board there is your tell if they have a sniper dont just peak randomly

Snipers aren’t a problem. Hitscan snipers who can one shot outside of ults are always a problem.

Who says that? That usually comes from players who usually don’t have fps players…

As much as I don’t like getting sniped, they belong in the game as much as any other hero

Snipers are fun, the only problem is the team mates. They need to help counter them which can be very frustrating

They’re never going to remove a hero from the game. If there’s a character that you don’t like, that’s a you problem. You need to get over it or play a different game.

you can counter snipers, like every other fps game, I don’t get why Overwatch must be the exception

Dive exists, barriers exist, healing is so strong that you sometimes really do meed snipers to get kills. Its common sense, snipers aren’t a problem. Sombra and ball also exist to make snipers miserable.

Snipers aren’t usually a problem. Sure they are strong but there are ways to get around that you can outplay them.

However, in this game Snipers get as many passes as they get countered.
Uncoordinated teammates, skill gaps, lack of Sniper weaknesses (prior to the HP nerf) and unlimited ammo make a Sniper deadlier than they should be.

But this is a team game. If your team cannot cooperate with each other then you already lost and removing the sniper won’t change that.
So I reluctantly say: Snipers are fine.
