Snipers can really carry a team. Support is not their only attribute. Hassling and annoying the other team is another thing they can do very well by breaking up their ink from a safe distance. Also, OHKO at range is always something to be wary of. Chargers aren't ink brushes. They are great at support but have so much more at their disposal that they will almost always be worth having at least 1 person playing with a charger on a team. Besides, they have few counters like squelchers, 96 gal and pros.Again, as much as snipers are satisfying, they're only as great as your team. Apart from the occasions where 3 snipers on a team somehow beat a bad team I happen to be on, a sniper is a support class and it only hinges on how good your team is.
From looking over the thread, all that I keep seeing is "I want to get a big K/D" when that portion isn't even recorded in the game itself and is only for internet glory (take your biggest K/D match and parade it as if how ALL your normal games go
Unless you happen to be in A rank rooms or higher, it isn't really worth using. Sure they can be annoying to face and may make you want to take it up but eventually you will see them losing because you're too busy tryin to kill other active people and the sniper is wondering how the heck there's no support (and it's funny to see snipers squirm at close range).
That said, whenever I try to snipe, I end up being the major target; people keep coming up to me and putting inkstrikes on my locations...
People who play chargers badly will lose. People who know how to play chargers will be more consistent.
