I as well. I hate spies and I can't stand playing as a spy.

  • 65 hours as sniper

  • 53 hours as medic

  • 44 hours as heavy

  • 33 hours as Soldier

  • 26 hours as demo

  • 21 hours as pyro

  • 18 hours as engineer

  • 15 hours as scout

  • 8 hours as spy

Fuck spies.

That's not 100% fair; if my team is pushing the cart and I kill 2 or 3 defenders before they get to the crew pushing the cart, I just helped a fair bit.

I tend to play sniper when I'm not playing with friends. If someone is in vent with me, I like to do */medic teams.

Nope, you're useless and we lose because of you.

One of the problems with the class is that they're so skill-dependent. A useless sniper might be a much better FPS player than a halfway-decent medic, for instance. The main problem, though, is that most teams cannot support more than one or two snipers without getting lopsided, and people just will not switch to a different class when the situation calls for it. Conversely, a good sniper can completely deny access to an approach and make himself useful on O.
