[TF2] Sniper's TRUE Purpose - The Sydney Sleeper

  • In TF2 what is Sniper advertised as? If you said OFFENCE, you would be incorrect (well for the most part). Sniper is designed to be a SUPPORT class, designed to help his teammates push through difficult holds or offensive frontlines by taking out one particular enemy or weakening a key player who has the most support from the enemy, like a Vac-boosted Heavy. Sniper has slowly been turned into a 150-damage spewing offense class as players in TF2 get better and better with their aim and take up aim training. However, the Sydney Sleeper reels Sniper back into his original role, of a SUPPORT class! In this video I go over the weapon design that the Sleeper follows and what other weapons follow the same style! Subscribe if you enjoy, and may God bless you!

    One other use for the Sydney sleeper is the fact that it doesn't always kill the target, as odd as that sounds. When you die in tf2, you see the position of your killer, and for sniper that is a problem. However assists don't reveal your position leaving your enemies to wonder where you are.

      Yea this is very true. It's one of those upsides that's hard to spot if you're not looking for it. Plus, you CAN still kill any non-heavy class with a headshot so it's not as if it's lost all that much of it's core function.
      Also, using it to trigger enemy snipers by killing them with it is a very underrated value of the weapon, because a triggered sniper will dramatically drop in performance :)

      I've played a shooter on roblox which takes heavy inspiration from tf2.
      it's called "the flappy men" and the sniper's default rifle has no charging, and can only instakill scouts and other snipers, although this isn't the case with the unlocks which are are all objective upgrades from stock that ruin people's fun.

    Just wanna say that this is a very well thought out video and I always appreciate one that takes the Sydney Sleeper seriously, but also I will highlight some production issues that, if resolved, can improve the watching experience of any future videos you make.
    -In "The Phlog" section, the background music overpowers your voice and it can be tough to make out what you're saying because of it. Always make sure that background music has a low volume, and normalize the vocal track.
    -I can see you're using a performance config. Get a better one. Again, most noticeable in "The Phlog" section, lighting is all sorts of screwed up and it's very hard to see what's going on in poorly lit areas of a map. I've had this same issue which is resolved with a few console commands, but I unfortunately don't remember what they are.
    Other than that, good job. You've definitely earned a sub, and I hope a bigger audience soon comes your way!

    I love the sleeper. Absolutely adore it.
    Playing support for others, applying two layers of pressure and faster charge are all aspects I prefer over the others. I believe it's also far more fair
    I also must account my loss of skill over the years.
    I'm not a sniper who can press W, then M2 and begin to erase the enemy team at any range anymore. I lost that skill over a couple years. So Sydney Sleeper (which I may nickname 'Sour Shots') is a preferred option for fun value too.
    I wish Sniper had more support elements rather than lethal elements. Would save them from the current community stance on sniper.
    Maybe we can try and propose changes to the snipers to give them status effects or something like that instead of lethality effects.

    People always forget that the class definitions exist for a reason. Demo is a defense class and sniper is a support class, yet people play Demo like he's an offense class and Sniper like he is a defense class. Sniper is meant to support the rest of the team, not be the team. And Demoman is supposed to defend things.

    One thing that makes pairing the SMG great with this rifle (not sure if you mentioned this in the video) is the fact that when you apply jarate to someone, it also negates damage falloff. So, your smg now does 11 damage per hit from any range, and this can also benefit your team since they can shoot at the covered enemy from anywhere on the map and the damage falloff just doesn't exist. And it is also very funny. The rifle benefits my playstyle (fancy way of saying i am bad at snipers), which is to be patient, charge shots, and guarantee that i can make some impact in a fight. With stock, unless i'm having a great day, i'll be chucking 50 damage shots all over the place and achieve nothing in the process.

    Direct hit is interesting in that, at the beginning most will mock you for using it since you miss a lot, but when you start racking up hundreds of hours with it, people will openly respect you or closet-respect you, your team will respect you for literally shredding the enemy team with damage even the stickybomb launcher can barely compete with and the enemy team will respect you for the great skill at which you are decimating them with, I mean come on, do you get angry when you get airshotted in the skybox or just amazed by it? Personally, I just get happy when a player owns me with a weapon which requires great skill to use, and I get salty when a player owns me with a weapon like phlog or vaccinator since they are fucking OP as SHIT unless there is a retarded player behind the controls.

    I think this weapon just boils down to why would you focus on supporting your team when you can just outright clear an enemy with one headshot?

    A comment on the phlogs lack of airblast, and the direct hit comparison. While the direct hit takes most of your splash damage but gives you more damage and greater range, the direct hit is given different but equal complexity to stock. As for the phlog, it takes away all the cool, complex mechanics out in exchange for easy and (occasionally) effective power. It relies even more on your secondaries than stock, and it makes it so if you want to be more consistently effective you have to run a flare gun. Which limits your playstyles. And on top of the significantly lower complexity of the phlog, if your team is winning you are really good, but if you're losing it's an active detriment to run the phlog. But yeah, that's my thoughts on the phlog, a weapon that trades cool stuff for power and makes you a lot weaker against anyone when you don't have crits.

    The problem with the Sleeper is the same as the Shiv. It’s a neat idea on paper, but the moment it goes into practice it completely fails. TTK is massive in TF2 and you have to rely on yourself to make the plays happen. Yeah, I could hit a guy twice with the shiv and the bleed will do it, but that leaves them time to get off that one extra shot, or make that emergency escape to a healthpack. Meanwhile you just hit them twice with stock and they die. Better yet, jarate/buskwacka lol back to respawn with you. Yeah, I could apply jarate to the enemy, but then I take the pick completely out of my hands, giving them nothing but time to either keep killing my team and lose us the fight or they escape to a healthpack and come right back. It is literally ALWAYS better to just kill the guy you’re aiming at than go for the roundabout “support” option. Especially for sniper who’s whole purpose is to be a pick class and just kill the troublesome player and be done with it. It’s not just sniper, either. Nobody uses weapons like the southern hospitality or the boston basher for similar reason. Hell, the only reason the wrap assassin and flying guillotine get use is because they don’t add some support thing to the existing weapon that just makes its job less efficient to begin with. They allow you to stack on damage with your primary very fast for ludicrously quick kill times or just combo and kill outright.

      The points he made about the Sleeper are still pretty valid though concerning the Vaccinator and whatnot. You're trading the instakill potential of a well placed headshot for consistent body shot kills. Sure it may be trash for a godlike sniper that barely misses headshots and just mains the Bazaar Bargain but for an average player who wants to chill and pot shot it's still valuable.

  • @spiritfox123
    @spiritfox123 Рік тому

    First off, I want to say you did a good job with the video and getting your points across.
    I'm not a Sniper main (i'm a Pyro main) but Sniper is my second most played class. I have over 5k hours in TF2, with easily 1-2k being on sniper. I'm a fan of basically all of Sniper's primary weapons except the Sydney Sleeper and the reason is it's just straight up boring to use. And I disagree that it makes Sniper more of a support class. I get where you're coming from and can respect that opinion, but I personally think being a pick class is a more useful way to be a support class than covering people in piss. Imagine this, you're a Sniper defending and it's in over time. There's a medic/heavy combo on the cart/point and your whole front line is dead because they just finished an uber and if they cap they win. You can stop them with 2 shots. A headshot on the medic and then a full charged headshot on the heavy. The same scenario with the Sydney Sleeper results in a loss from not being able to kill the heavy in time. Or how about dropping the enemy Medic who has uber just before they pop to make a push with a quick scope headshot, therefore allowing your team to push them back instead. Both of these examples have come from my own experience playing Sniper, and neither one would have been possible without the ability to get critical headshots. The argument you put forth is definitely a valid one, and I think it really just comes down to how you think you should support your team as Sniper. Whether that's being a pick class picking off high value or nuicance targets, or giving your team extra damage from range. With all that said, I don't think the Piss Pipe (as I like to call it) is bad, it definitely has its place and if people like using then by all means use it. I enjoy memeing with the Classic after all. There's genuinely nothing in the game more satisfying than no-scope headshotting a soldier/demo that's jumping straight at you and turning them into a bunch of gibs. I just think that the Sydney Sleeper is a boring playstyle that takes significantly less skill than stock, and I won't have respect for anyone who uses it to body shot with. Same with full charge body shotters that use stock, except they garner even less respect from me. There's nothing easier than fully charging a shot and clicking on center mass. At the end of the day, whatever works works. If your version of fun is fully charge body shotting people with the Sydney Sleeper, more power to you.
    Oh and to the people who complain about getting killed instantly, if you even read this far: Just remember, Sniper still takes more skill to get his instant kills than Spy does. Well, unless it's a full charge bodyshot on a class with 150 hp or less and no overheal... But it's really not that hard to just dodge around. You have 4 movement keys and mouse aim for a reason, you'll get headshot less if you just respect the sight lines, don't walk in strain lines, and make your movement less predictable overall. Jumping and crouching repeatedly is also a strategy to make yourself harder to hit since crouching mid-air causes the hitbox to get janky, not that hitboxes aren't already janky because it's a game from 2007 running on the Source engine. Oh, and to the Medics. Share the damn overheal if you don't already. It can prevent all classes from being one tapped by a bodyshot or quickscop headshot. Even the Quickfix gives light classes 158 hp overheal, again, enough to survive a bodyshot or quickscope headshot. Also the Vaccinator exists. Spy is also the direct counter to Sniper, so if you're really that annoyed with a Sniper just switch to Spy backstab them a few times and they're probably switch classes or leave the server. Obviously just shoot them with your revolver if they're running the Razerback.

    I honestly wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment. Sniper SHOULD be a real support. Sure, instantly killing any player at a infinite distance is "supporting", but if that's what we're running as a community-wide consensus, then EVERY class is a support class.
    Sniper rifles should be more like the Sydney Sleeper; deal burst hit-scan damage at a long distance, and do something that would cripple your enemies. Some could inflict bleed, some could inflict jarate, some can overpenetrate enemies, etc. I think that design philosophy would be healthier for the class, and the game, in the long term.

    Very good points all around! Phlog is still op, downside aside. Minicrits instead of full crits might be fine, but full crits? Nah.
    I have enjoyed the SS for it's general silence and the requirement of dedicating the time to taking each shot, whereas most rifles encourage sticking with getting as many headshots as possible or pissing people off with full charge body shots. The Sleeper is a very fun weapon, and I definitely recommend it to anyone who decides to play sniper(especially since it's saved me from Bot-ccusations a few times, kek).

    tbh it's not viable when playing against a competent sniper. Also your damage suffers with the sleeper. I'd argue you support your team a lot more with -150 quick head shots than hard scoping with the sleeper.

    the sydney sleeper... it more so a weapon for less skilled players. it's never bad but a good sniper gets more out of stock than sydney, the classic, is more meme-y but does has it's place it's seems fair....classic also acts as training wheels like sydney, as it allows you to be more aware of spies or whatever....

    @callumbreton8930 Рік тому +1

    Okay, I just gotta say, the Sydney Sleeper is NOT the Sniper fix that is needed. The SS takes every problem people complain about with Sniper, and cranks it up to 100. The balancing factor of Sniper I'd that he can't hit kill shots that much on other classes. Why? Because he either has to wait to charge up a killing body shot on light classes, charge up a headshot on classes like the Heavy, or perform a quickscope headshot on a light class. For Sniper to excel, he has to either wait, be accurate enough to hit the shot, or a mixture of the two. Doing regular quickscope body shots is terrible, as even though 50 damage is half a rocket, his RoF cripples his damage output by doing so. HOWEVER, the Sydney Sleeper doesn't. A single body shot not only hits for 50 damage, it applies Jarate for two seconds, allowing any class to minicrit that target. Now then, let's do some maths. Scouts scattergun does 105 damage on a meatshot, and around 60 at medium range. Medics health is 150 at full with no overheal. This means that Scout has to hit a meatshot and a medium range shot in order to kill the Medic. However, if we put sniper into this equation, things get more finicky. A normal body shot will take a Medic down to 100, meaning Scout no longer needs to get a medium range shot after he hits the meatshot, as Medic would be dead. This rewards teamwork between the Sniper and Scout, as their combo attack leads to a quicker resolution than an individual could, without it being greater than the effort they both put in. However, SS dramatically changes this dynamic. With minicrits, Scouts scattergun meatshot goes from 105 to around 140, and medium range shot to 80. This makes it so that the Medic, who is out of 50 health by the SS shot, is now at 100 down from max health. So not only does a meatshot wipe the floor with Medic, a SINGLE shot fired from halfway between medium range and meatshot range, that normally dealt 80 damage, taking two shots to kill a medic, now does the same damage as a MEATSHOT. From just one SS quickscope body shot, the Sniper effectively DOUBLES the Scouts kill range, with absolutely no risk other than "the Scout might not do it". Not only this, a Medic WITH max overheal of 225 gets taken down to 175, which puts the Medic into standard meatshot followed by medium shot kill range. No, scratch that, he doesn't even need the medium shot, as any scattergun shot dealing upwards of 30 damage KILLS the formerly overhealed Medic! Not only this, but a single Ss quickscope body shot will take a Heavy down from 300 to 250, which with minicrits makes the TtK of Demo and Soldier, the other most common Power classes, go from three pills and rockets to just TWO, removing a whole THIRD of their TtK in a single body shot! No charge required! And this is supposed to be the class with the highest health! Even a fully overhealed Heavy goes from a whole clip of pipes and rockets at 400 health to just 10 health after only three! And in not even factoring in fully charged 150 5 SECONDS of minicrits body shots! I know "body shotting Snipers bad" is a meme in the Sniper community, but the SS is the fucking OUTER GOD of body shotters! It lowers the skill floor so much without actually reducing the reward you get for doing the bear minimum. Look, I hate being headshotted out of nowhere like everyone else, but at the very least it was either a fault in my skill, an increase in my opponent's skill, or they're using a bot because the suck and no one loves them. But if I get bodyshotted by a Sniper out of nowhere and I'm practically dead, thats far different. The Sniper didn't need any skill other than clicking any part of my hurtbox, I didn't have any counterplay than "never show up in his sightlines, even with your legs or torso", and bots never use it because they've already reached the inhuman skill ceiling no mortal can ever reach. All in all, it's just far too much in exchange for far too little, and only exasperates the problems people already face with Snipers. Anyway, that's my essay. Ciao

      Tactics, and if they were duo then it was strategy. There are some beastly heavies out there, and with good medics they can sweep the floors.
      I've had games like that. Just being able to cull the enemy team, which was just scary experience for me, than being fun.
      That's why I like spy a bit better. When I die I can say that I played bad, but when I win with heavy, it feels like thr enemy was bad at the game... That's... somewhat... terrifying... idk.

    Sniper and medic are the only two classes in the game designed to be good at one thing, medic is good at healing and sniper is good at getting picks
    Being only able to get picks does make you a support class because the purpose of getting picks to kill high priority targets that will either make your team's life difficult or that if kept alive will result in you and your team losing, sniper being able to eliminate these threats for his team always his team to focus on capturing/defending the objective
    If you're worried about sniper being an "150 damage spewing offense class" then nerfing his reload speed by about 0.4 seconds would completely fix that and push him more into what the devs wanted him to be, a pure pick class

    • @1x1boop28
      @1x1boop28 Рік тому

      ​@@thechickenchuck8621 Oh yeah no problem! My criticism is because of an overuse of conjunctive adverbs (words and phrases like however, therefore, moreover, similarly etc.) and repeating yourself. These repititions and adverbs make things way longer than they shoud be when they str being strung together. It gives your script an undeniable impression that it factually accurate and analytical. it becomes harder to follow any given sentence the more of these adverbs you string together.
      Its like eating bread that you know had the potential to be really good, but there was just too much flower (too few cups of water). resulting its taste being dry and crumbly.
      Examples and tips to fix:
      6:40 - 7:55
      This sequence takes over a minute to explain what should have been a lot shorter. Why? Because you can cut out a lot of the needless dry flour entirely. And you also include things like "It's (the sydney sleeper) is especially useful when firing on one sigular target."
      NO WAY SHERLOCK REALLY? A SNIPER WEAPON IS USEFUL WHEN FIRING ON ONE SIGULAR TARGET????? its completley pointless to point out because by this point in the video its already an espablished and implied fact that the sydney sleeper can shoot sigular targets with great effectiveness.
      Here is this sequence rewritten in a less repetitive way (a draft that isnt implemented into any larger scrip):
      The Sidney sleeper is very effective for attacking sigular targets, however this often isnt enough to kill them. maybe there is a heavy medic combo, or even worse, a VACCINATOR heavy medic combo. The vaccinator's resistances will midigate the damage from your shot, but the sydney sleeper will still apply jarate on any vulnerable enemy it hits. This jarate effect, though its duration halved by the medibeam, will still cause the +50% damage taken effect on the target, allowing your team to take advantage and kill the target you hit 50% that they normally would, for as long as you can keep hitting them.
      This rewrite is just 104 words, but it still communicates all the important information that the version in the video does.
