Huntsman snipers don’t bother me as much as rifle snipers do.

hmm really? Log in to see images!

Easier said than sighted – someone who strafes properly is really hard to hit, which is bad enough even when the Sniper isn’t under fire/near Spies.

If the sniper is any good, he’ll still get you. I hate snipers because you can’t do anything against them. There is no real counter to dieing against them.

I can’t be like “oh! he came from behind, maybe I should watch my back more.” and learn from the death.

Exactly my point. If I die to a huntsman, I at least can figure out how I ****ed up.

Any sniper worth a **** can hit you, even with strafing/ducking. Like soldiers they’re supposed to lead their shots a bit and anticipate your movements. Scoped shots are frustrating because you don’t even know you’re sighted. You’re just dead like a bug on a windshield. Aliiiiiiiive*DEAD*

You were taken by surprise. If you take the time to check your back, someone else could be rushing at you from the front. If you do everything right and still die, your opponent was just lucky.

Hell, VALVe has even stated that snipers make people frustrated

The same could be said for every clbum. Look at the Pyro, even after the nerf.

From my experience it’s all about mouse sensitivity. Too little and close range sniping becomes impossible, too much and all sniping becomes impossible. Even if the Sniper is predicting where you will go and you’re heading toward him, if you’ve made it to mid-range any clbum with 100%+ speed will outrace the default, which a lot of Snipers use. A good Sniper IMO would not try to snipe from this range, he would move and fine a better position farther away or select another target.

Also you can view a close up of a big portion of the map.

With the zoomfunction.

This way, you can check the spawn of enemies, if its heavy, KILL IT GOD DAMNIT.

If it’s a spy, use teamchat to reveal his disguise, OR KILL IT.

How close a Scout are we talking here?

We’re talking about 2fort, RED spawn, to BLU spawn. There’s times I haven’t been able to even get on the bridge. Seriously. Not even out for a second. Headshot.
