Yeah, thats right. I fucking said it.
If a mediocre as hell Sniper like myself can do well enough playing the class he dislikes the most, none of you "professional" Snipers out there should feel any need of having to rely on a broken upgrade like Explosive Headshot.
And this was the first time ever I actually attempted anything like this before.
If you believe the Gas Passers Explode on Ignite is a stupid and broken upgrade, you should believe the same about Explosive Headshot.
Cause at the end of the day its the same thing.
The Gas Passer enables a class that is primarily all about close quarters to nuke everything from across the map with very little actual ability involved.
Whereas Explosive Headshot enables Sniper to nuke everything from across the map while being a single target class.
Explosive Headshot "helps" you by only having to be good enough to hit a single headshot and get rewarded for it instead of being an actually good Sniper and hitting consistent headshots across the board.
I mean, isnt that what you should pride yourself in? Hitting every headshot imaginable and not hitting one and feeling proud of the game awarding you multiple hits just cause you bought an upgrade that enables you to do exactly that.
Arent you cheating yourself out of genuinely being good at playing Sniper?
I can already hear the naysayers arguing: "All you are doing is making yourself be a worse Sniper."
But all I'm hearing is: "We arent good enough Snipers to play without Explosive Headshot."
