CrafterofGenius Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 People respect sniper mains a lot more, if that makes any difference.

Uncle Dong Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Wow-_-, I obviously like both, and why should I main pyro, tell me WHY Main both Problem solved Buy swag for both classes
Vaccinated Autist Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 If you Pyro and you use degreaset and flare gun,ill kill you with a toilet paper Sniper,its easier also when you migrate to other games,you'll be influenced
Sasuke200 Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Sniper, if you get your aim down it helps most of the other classes if you have to use them. If you are good at sniper, you can play most of the classes without much trouble but pyro is very specialized and isolated on skill set.
demo demo pan Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Depends are you good at range or close quarters I've seen your bp well it seems that you have put more effort into getting hats and stranges for you Sniper.
Pie Creepin Round Here Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 You might as well main sniper, seeing as maining pyro is literally just knowing what a spy is and occasionally reflecting some shit. Also, what's the point of having a main when you have relatively little time in the game and don't play comp? You should at least spend the time to get decent at all the classes.
3.50 Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 People respect sniper mains a lot more, if that makes any difference. Speaking purely in in-game terms, and meaning no offense, sniper mains are scum and everyone hates them.
Sasuke200 Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 You might as well main sniper, seeing as maining pyro is literally just knowing what a spy is and occasionally reflecting some shit. Getting very good at pyro takes alot of skill, going up against a pyro who has mastered the class most likely would take out over 3 - 5 people per death on some skial server. Speaking purely in in-game terms, and meaning no offense, sniper mains are scum and everyone hates them. People don't like them as they cannot out snipe them(they usually leave or rage sniper/spy). Someone who mains sniper can play many other classes as they would tend to have better cross hair placement over someone who mains pyro(The classes are balanced IMO, it is just who really is better and who has the better setup of weapons)
Joguzz Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 As an ex-mid-division Pyro, I can at least explain the role a bit (It's probably more different from "pub pyro" then you think!) Your main job is, quite obviously, keeping an eye out for spies. This means spychecking, calling respawn times etc. You also, however, have to protect combo (Heavy Medic Demo) from any sort of threat such as bombing soldiers, ambushing scouts, cabering demos or any sort of über push (and spies ofc). This leads to your role being quite passive, and not assaulting the front lines. Instead, you are more of a support character. I'm not implying the pyro is ineffective in combat though, as reflected rockets deal 150 damage, and a übered pyro on upward is fucking scary (edges everywhere!). Pyro also requires quite a lot of training, as reflecting takes a while mastering (I'm not close to yet with 150+ hrs of pyro) and positioning/map knowledge is very important. From what I've seen (and from my own experience) of sniper, in practice it's probably easier to learn (point and click, woo!) but I wouldn't really know. Also, pyros hate snipers, FYI. Hope this helps. However, I'd suggest playing the game and trying to understand and have fun with all classes before choosing a main. 260 hours is not a lot at all in the competetive community. I agree completely what the guy above me (Sasuke200) said about pyros, both the mastering part and the pubstomping part.
♥Prof. Sugarcube♥ Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 The amount of people choosing Sniper is why this game is turning into Call of Duty.
Pie Creepin Round Here Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 The amount of people choosing Sniper is why this game is turning into Call of Duty. Have you played call of duty? Because tf2 is nothing like it in practically any sense, regardless of how many shitty pub snipers there are. Also, ditto what the Joguzz said, in highlander pyro is essentially support for the combo, not really a fragging class. It's not uncommon to see the pyros on each team have the least kills for their respective teams (after med of course).
Kypari Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 I play all classes really Apart from Heavy. Heavy is poop.

Pistolvania Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Play pyro, sniper is a fucking cancer class, and I have no idea why I wasted ~1700 hours on him alone.
