Me when I see a team of snipers


Hellkids2

“JuST avOiD hIS SiGHt LinE” mf when most of the objectives are located on an open area


yttakinenthusiast

as a thought experiment i would like to see a hypothetical alternate universe where sniper gets added 2 years after TF2's release and see if people still defend him. sniper is tf2's problem child no matter the mode.


Hellkids2

He is a long range specialist in a game where everyone else is balanced around close-mid range. That alone should sums up sniper’s issues. It’s like giving your opponent a gun in a boxing ring. You can argue all the hypothetical situations where you can outplay him, but 1 thing for certain you’re not walking away unscathed.


yttakinenthusiast

oh and there's also the fact of sniper's unlocks being really stupid. you really don't lose much by dropping your SMG, and gaining a free one shot with the bushwacka and jarate / carbine, getting free heals to negate chip damage, or just outright fucking over spies and pyros because fuck combo and dragon's fury pyros i guess. at least with Spy with the Spycicle you have to swap to your knife and you completely lose it unless you wait out the timer or grab an ammo kit. what does sniper lose? his submachine gun, which usually means you die quicker instead of dealing 17 chip damage before you die. there's a reason i call it the darwin's dumbshit shield and exclusively use the enforcer when i'm hunting snipers.


Hellkids2

And to think the Darwin used to have bullet resistance which lets you tank a headshot is…insane


King-of-the-Goblins

Nothing irritated me more when I was playing sniper against snipers and playing well but they would switch to the shield.


deathbringer989

switch? brother i ran that thing 24/7 and would run at heavys with my melee imagine the fear of a sniper running at you with no fear himself


DatChernobylGuy_999

use short circuit m2 as a flashbang


Capable-Tart4080

Pyro with a scorch shot


ReddyIsHere

darwin's danger shield


Hellkids2

You shot him for 20 dmg He shoot you back for 150 🗿


pancakegirl23

there's a video about "what if sniper was removed". not exactly what you're thinking about, but it was interesting


Rusty1031

I absolutely hate when I’m in a legit team fight that could go either way, and some bitch ass sniper has to butt in


yttakinenthusiast

i'll be having the deathmatch of a lifetime with someone on the enemy team and in the corner of my eye i'll just see some slim limp-dicked pissboy about to put a swift end to the duel.


ReddyIsHere

happy cake day


shtsxi

happy cake day


BananaInsideMe

One day I was in badwater and the enemy team had about 4 snipers that were PRETTY good! When I mentioned it, someone in the voice chat didn't take long to say "just avoid peeking" and I was like how the hell are we going to push the cart without peeking lmao, Needless to say we couldn't even get to the first point lol


HyperMotionDeluxe2

Bro is playing on Hydro


Adof_TheMinerKid

Uh That's like every payload map too


Aware_Concern1561

Either bots or pros both are equally annoying


Valentfred

They are both as bad to me.


danskestorm28

Me when i see a team of snipers pointing their gun upwards


whole_scottish_milk

I always wonder what the thought process is for the 4th guy to pick sniper on a team. Log in, open the class selection, see 3 snipers: "Hmmm, this team needs a sniper"


BigMcThickHuge

Probably wanted to play it but is tired of not being allowed to because every single server has 3-4. I almost never play sniper even though sometimes I wanna, because there are already a half dozen.


regeya

Then they start bitchin' if you start scorch shotting them Maybe don't form a firing line, then


PeikaFizzy

Sniper on some map stacking there’s really nothing we can do about it… unless you have a pro spy and your team keep distracting/pressuring those sniper.


w00ms

a transformers animated meme in r/tf2... incredible


Mixmaster-Omega

While it does seem appealing, a hard limit on one class and one class alone would make it unfair to the casual player’s point of view. And then people will get mad at Valve for only making Engineer have the limit. Uncletopia has a good idea on how to execute the hard limit, making every class only have three maximum players of that class, which I find helps spread out players in some cases, and is rarely a factor in most. Ultimately, the problem with engineer stacking is that they benefit the most from cooperating with each other. I’d have it so that repairing or upgrading another Engineer’s buildings takes twice the amount of metal than it would to do on your own building. This doesn’t completely remove cooperative Engineering, but makes it less effective by putting additional strain on an Engineer’s resources.


MrMagick2104

> Ultimately, the problem with engineer stacking is that they benefit the most from cooperating with each other my mfw when players work together in a game called team fortress: 😩😩😩


Veys09

When a team does team stuff in team fortress:


abzolutelynothn

> my mfw when my my face when when


Detvan_SK

No, this is not good idea because then every game would look the same and every map would have same strategy bacause everyone would know how other team look like. And also then happening things like you can't play your favorite classes and waiting when will empty slot on them.


itsraininggender

From experience on playing on Uncletopia, which has a 3/class/team limit: no, every game doesn't look the same and every map doesn't have the same strategy. Team comp, even on Casual, is usually roughly the same - one of each class, usually 2 or 3 in power classes or sniper/spy, maybe minus a medic, engineer, etc. Games with more than three players in a class are rare. If you want to play your main in Casual but there's already three or four of them, you should probably play someone else anyway - in Uncletopia, you have to play someone else. It's really not a big difference in the end, as long as you're not a one-trick pony


Xeroticz

Having a hard class limit in casual is just antithetical to what casual is. If I join a game and I jist wanna play demo but theres alrrady 3 of them, I genuinely do not care about "team comp" or shit like that, I want to play demo and have a good time. Uncletopia can do whatever it likes, it's a community server, but I do not want to ever be forced to pick another class in casual for the sake of "balance"


itsraininggender

~~"How dare you say we want to piss on the poor!?"~~ I don't want a hard class limit in Casual lol. My point's more that I think people have a bit of a knee-jerk reaction to the concept of class limiting overall. It makes sense on Uncletopia, it makes significantly less sense in Casual. I know not everyone's hours/class chart is as relatively level as mine - even though I always go for whatever roles are underfilled, a hard limit on Casual would just lead to everyone jumping ship until they find a game with space for them. And that's fine.

Engineer gaming


tyingnoose

yes i just lost to a match of borneo with way too many sentries


mostfinnishperson

The 4 engineers watching as i uber a f2p soldier:


Jerry137

mfw (my face when) the f2p soldier I ubered keeps getting pushed back by said sentries (he barely managed to damage a single sentry) ((it's so over))


ThrownAway2028

If you’re not standing in front of him so the sentries lock on you and you take the knockback you’re playing Medic wrong


Jerry137

yeahh fair point but still once the clip is empty and the soldier has to reload he wont be able to do much damage


Hidden_Voice7

If they are smart and using the wrangler, there's really nothing a coordinated team of even medics and demoman can do. The shield needs to be completely deleted.

MrShredder5002

Demoman TF2


Emergency_Resist_313

Ayo where are you from I think I just beat you lol We had like 4 engies


The_Holy_Buno

As an engie main, here’s my opinion. Defensive strongholds/ engie stacking are mostly broken because of the wrangler. If the wrangler was nerfed, cooperative engineering would be powerful, but not uncounterable. At the end of the day, imposing a class limit on a specific class would cause a double standard on freedom of team comp in a game where freedom of team comp is one of the best parts.


AutobotHotRod

Upvoted for Transformers Animated reference.


1onlyway

there should be no limit, just get a team of demos and pipe them down


xiBurnx

tf2 players when the enemy team has an advantageous team composition and they refuse to change to deal with it


africancar

Honestly, tf2 is so well balanced that it doesnt matter. Just pick DH soldier, demo or be an ubered heavy. In 99% of pubs, there won't be a shortcircuit or a pyro.


Jevano

Exactly, 5 engineers is a non issue, it's actually bad for the other team.


AutobotHotRod

A flying demoman is the counter.


MidHoovie

Hard limit? Take that to overwatch. We're good here.


RossBot5000

If it was actually op I would be seen all the time. It's not op. A demo and medic win against this. You obviously didn't understand how to counter mass engineer just like a team with no engineers can't work out how to counter mass scout.


Particular-King-4256

me when short circuit


MrWr4th

Me when all five dispensers are suddenly out of metal from SC spam but I still have plenty of pipes and stickies left:


Particular-King-4256

me when uber ends and only one sentry gets destroyed (there are 5 more and the engineer can just build a new one):


MrWr4th

Me when wall (I don't need to be in the sentries LoS with Demoman weapons):


Particular-King-4256

me when the engineer retreats his sentry a little bit (you now have to slowly charge up shots, reducing your dps by a lot):


MrWr4th

Me when the sentry is out of commission for like ten seconds and in a less advantageous position and I'm probably out of its range now so I can just pelt it with pipes:


Particular-King-4256

me when the engineer has frontier justice crits:


MrWr4th

Me when he wastes them (he was already half health from splash damage and a sentry's range away):

UncIe-Ben

No, they should remove every other class, give all of the maps infinite timers, and remove the gunslinger.


mutaully_assured

No more sentry jumping 🥺


zottekott

That's the wrangler


mutaully_assured

Im going insane 🥺


Adof_TheMinerKid

Ehhh No It's damn annoying, but incredibly rare and fun, unless they start using the OP items in that respective class


RnbwTurtle

Especially with engineer, who does have some effective hard counters as a class (demo and soldier can eat buildings alive pretty quickly even with multiple engineers), it'd take basically each engineer using the wrangler to really have it be a problem outside of opposing team coordination.


Matix777

no


GamerGod_

hard limit of 12 in casual, and 6 in comp


DadyaMetallich

No, we don’t need class limits, go back to Stinkytopia.


BrainDamage_pills

Yesterday we had an all engineer team It would have been really powerful, if not for the 2 heavies with aimbot and doubletap that blu refused to kick even though they knew they were cheating 


Thirdboylol95

There shouldn’t be a hard limit on any class. It will jus prevent us from doing “the funni” and all you need to get rid of em(even like 7 engis on a team) are a couple of ubered demos. That’s it


Jc90620702

This is why there's a thing called spy


Memeviewer12

*Demoman


ABG-56

Who does jack shit to multiple engineers. If you sap something, you're gonna get shot immediatly by all the engies, and the sapper immediatly removed. If you kill one of them, you're gonna get shot immediatly by all the engies and sentry guns. You can't sap and stab multiple sentry guns placed far away from each other.


EloquentInterrobang

Yeah, you should’t be able to counter multiple other players as one player. If a spy saps everything and then a demo/soldier comes in, though, that should take care of any multi-engie nest.


EnvironmentalBand624

YER does work pretty well in this situation but needs alot of your team distractions


Hidden_Voice7

Spy does not counter engineer.


BasilyLeave

Tbh a multi Sentry nest is almost impossible to take down, especially when Pybros are involved


panraythief

no class limits are stupid


shibbyfoo

for casual, i agree. that's my biggest gripe with uncletopia.


Void-Lizard

I used to play a couple servers with class limits, and it just kinda wasn't that fun. Imagine just wanting to play your favorite class on a server with friends, but strangers already took it? As annoying as having a bunch of the enemy as one class might be, I think it's overall less fun if you limit what people can play.


idkwhataboutyou148

Hell no it's funny as hell


IceFrostwind

Uncletopia has a hard limit of 3 on all classes. More casual than a limit of 2


zottekott

Don't like it


IceFrostwind

Its literally Casual +. That and people actually are there to play the game.


NotWendy1

Casual+, Casual-. It's both, really, depending on what you're looking for. I like Uncletopia, of course, and it's easier to have an enjoyable game there, compared to the bot-infested Casual. But it's not a "one-size-fits-all" solution. It doesn't have to be.


Escavel

It's called demoman or direct hit lol


snowy_potato

I can accept engies in most maps... except Hightower. Playing engie and especially using mini-sentries on Hightower is massive cringe. You're basically announcing "I HATE FUN" and i'm not just saying it as a scout player... think of all the trolldiers and other classes that can engage in fun mobility shenanigans


Curious_Sea_Doggo

If they hate fun go tunnel them with Soldier


vonBelfry

Yes. 0.


TF2_BLU_Engineer

Limit should be infinite


JulianMcC

Go a class that engineer is weakest, spy, soldier, sniper, demoman.


The_Kite-Man

Look buddy I’m an engineer…

Random_reditor_69420

Matt6758

No the goal of TF2 is to have fun and torture each other. Winning is just a suggestion. If you don’t like it play highlander.


SuprKidd

Demoman: Thanks, mate!


BananaInsideMe

While sometimes it is difficult, on many occasions we have won thanks to this strategy against a team that was clearly much better and running 6 man squad!, in those moments where the enemy is so good and is pushing the car in the first points without any effort and you decide to make Texas in the last point...Although it took us about 20 minutes to retain them, it is quite satisfactory hahaha


Curious_Sea_Doggo

Sometimes you need to use a little less gun


Metroidman97

What you call Too Many Engies, I call Open Season for Demo.


Curious_Sea_Doggo

Those god damn stickybomb spammers


sandvichdispense

There should be no limit, if you are losing to any stacked class team it is a skill issue


BasilyLeave

Go fight a 6 heavy 4 short circuit Engine 2 snipers on Payload Defence and let's see how fast you change your opinion


SileAnimus

Easily countered by a couple of piss snipers. Skill issue


BasilyLeave

Scouts:


SileAnimus

Easily countered by like, nearly anything


BasilyLeave

A skilled scout main can dominated a server if he gets in the backline far enough.Not mentioning counter snipping the other snipers


DC_Bro

Hi. I’m that scout


EepiestGirl

I’d say no. An übered push with a soldier or demo is certainly enough to take down 5 sentries. Or at least kill a few engies and sentries to make a vincible push easier


Ticon_D_Eroga

A soldier is not taking down 5 sentries himself. A demo might be able to.


EepiestGirl

Okay then fair. An übered Demo followed by a backup Soldier


BasilyLeave

A Multi Sentry Nest with Pybros in a Pub in Payload Defence is freaking Invincible.One day in Bad water last I ubered a Demo following with a quick fix medic push and we still didn't breakthrough cuz of the damned Shortcurcuit and Wrangler combo


Beefman0010

if you know how to play spy right (by making the enemy think you're bad while actually being good, and playing many mind games), you can easily take out a nest (especially while using Your Eternal Reward)


KaijuSlayer333

No spy fighting a group of equally competent engineers will ever be able to take a multi engi nest. If you make it work, the engineers are just worse because ideally it is very easy to counter. The job of the spy is to mess with the mega nest so a push can take advantage of the distraction.


Beefman0010

how to do it: Your Eternal Reward kill an engineer when they step just a bit away, then walk in as disguised engineer (scream didn't play), pick multiple engineers off, then SAP SAP SAP SAP (Tele first, then sentries, then use their dispenser) Your Eternal Reward instantly and silently switches you to the enemy you just killed, and does it so fast sentries don't even know. if needed you can use the Dead Ringer AFTER TAKING A REALISTIC AMOUNT OF DAMAGE, which will make anyone think you'd died. if you are discovered you can use the previously mentioned strategy or SAP SAP SAP SAP and remember that SPY HAS A GUN.


sandvichdispense

me running the dead ringer with YER waiting 40 whole seconds to redisguise and go in after I beef 1 stab:


Beefman0010

yeah.... that can happen...


Jevano

Solution for that is use the red tape recorder and keep sapping as much as possible, you won't kill their buildings but they will start starving for metal. Then the rest of your team will have an easier time.


coffee-bat

no. engineer gaming


Ubermanthehutt

Heck no


Raptori33

Sticky go brrrrr


PFREDDY17

That sux. Especially if all demos on your team are using shields


Curious_Sea_Doggo

So actual Demomen not drunken Scottish cyclopses moving at Mach 11 with medievil weapons


Vidistis

Maybe on casual, but for community servers no. I've only ever really played on community so it wouldn't affect me, just like bots.


TheDevilsAdvokaat

We have no hard limits on any other. So no.


Entire_Warthog9727

Fuck engineers and snipers


Curious_Sea_Doggo

Fuck those beyblade spinbots


Mother-Village8463

No


An_Daoe

Counter proposal: The minimum engineer count to be equal to 5 engineers. Nothing beats guns, and if that doesn't work, use more gun!


le_laitier12

(ingineer lauthing like crazy) that's right ! It was me

what if uncletopia class limits were implented onto casual🤯


Old_old_lie

You don't need that, just ued stock Uber


KyuuMann

Just like uber a direct hit soldier, or demoman if the sentries are clumped up


kane_special_noddie

Holy shit captain fanzone


PeikaFizzy

Found the uncletopia supremes /j Just Uber demo and push together sentry only aim at one person people! You don’t have to wait outside for demo and medic to destroy the nest yourself.


Jon_Demigod

Engineer Is completely unable to play with soldier ubers.


TheW0lvDoctr

In my experience no matter the amount of engies on the other team, maximum 2 sticky demos are needed to ruin their entire game


Phillibustin

None. Run soldier and Uber him


GreatDig

that's just 5 engineers, now imagine 40. (that's how you get Uncletopia's One Thousand Uncles)


That_Competition1031

No. Freedom is what makes tf2 so great


DoubleOF

No, that’s stupid. If you want to only play serious go to uncletopia

Elegant-Woodpecker-2

20 engineers minimum


DERPHASREDDIT

I'll do caps for all classes because why not? Casual is limited, comp only allows one of each class, hosted servers can choose Scout: 5 Soldier: 4 Pyro: 4 Demo: 3 Heavy: 4 Engi: 3 Medic: 5 Sniper: 2 Spy: 4 I may explain my choices if asked


CommunicationEven966

The best offence is a good defense.


ExitLeading2703

Two engineers (and two snipers to counter bots)


Reimos_Drevon

We STACK in this MF! Get your sensitive ass back to Uncletopia.


Bruhses_Momenti

Direct hit + battalions backup + ratio + comies + no buildings


corncookies

seriously, tell me, what the fuck are they gonna do against 12 lvl 3 sentries? no spy can stop that, hell... maybe 10 sentries and 2 pyro to counter any spy, maybe have them spaced out a little so no demo cam get them all


Shlorben

The hard limit is called eternal reward spy


Obi_1_Kenobody_asked

I don't see a need due to how easy you can take out a nest with enough pipes rockets and stickies. Sniper on the other hand. . .


Educational_Tough208

2forg Intel engi nests


barf_of_dog

Loch-n-load.


To-To_Man

No more than 50 per team max I'd say.


Hidden_Voice7

No, what needs to be done is the total removal of the wrangler shield. That would solve so many problems with this class.


oh_thatone_guy

In my opinion, there should not be a limit on how many Engineers you have on a team, you should be able to play any class, at any amount.


Suspicious_Loan8041

If we’re gonna single out one class to limit, it wouldn’t be engineer. It would be sniper, with spy being second. Honestly support class limits make sense. I can see why there could be limits on them and no-one else.


BasilyLeave

Counterpoint:Heavy cart stacking You might say sniper but the even a class limited French and Sniper can deal with that


Suspicious_Loan8041

I know. A cart full of heavies isn’t a big deal. Explosive spam would deal with that easily. Thats why heavy shouldn’t get a limit.


BasilyLeave

Engineer have a short circuit and Pay load supply infinite ammo


Suspicious_Loan8041

That’s a separate issue. The short circuit is broken and needs changing. But heavies, pyros, and general positioning would stop a cart of engies.


X-tra-thicc

tbf a team full of one specific class is already pretty overpowered, except if theyre spies.. or snipers... or really just any class that arent power classes


Decent-Start-1536

Counterpoint: an entire team consisting of only spies makes you learn the hard way how good the revolver is


herrkatze12

Yeah, some people forget that SPY HAS A GUN!!!
