Try this guy

A. If you're being serious, sniper is fairly easy mentally.
-Target Gunner/Tank. Keep shots on them, it makes a huge difference. As a gunner the most frustrating thing is getting the beat on the opposing gunner but right before you kill him you get body shot from the sniper and all of a sudden you're dead you're support is dead and their team has map control. That is your most important objective.
-Be aggressive with ice traps. This is pretty simple, throw ice traps often in areas of high traffic or a choke point on the map at the time. Good ice traps can make a sniper with poor aim an effective player.
-Avoid the assault. Bombs kills snipers very fast so just avoid the assaults or a good objective assault such as Chron or Teapot will make you useless.
-Get good angles. You want to be able to have clear shots at the opposing heavies and high traffic areas. Put yourself in a good position to do both. (This means you have to leave your spawn ring and be aggressive.)
-Practice your shot. Straight forward.
That's pretty much all you will hear from top snipers. Not much mental game to sniper.

B. If you're not being serious, you are annoying. Give yourself a rim job. You will probably like it. PS. Alphabet Taco is a good teacher I hear. He would know more than me.

Don't think rimming yourself is possible. Crimming is though.

And I was being serious. Some people are recommending me for joining a team so figure I'd sharpen my skills.

You would be surprised.

That sounds like a good idea, can't hurt to give it a shot. For teams I'd talk to Knaves team, I bet they could use another sub. Or hell create your own team.

Deadpool would like to add ZOOOOOO0000000ooooooooo00000OOOOOOooooom to his list of Inferior Friends.

Who is in your list of inferior friends, Deadpool?

Assassin - Deadpool
Assault - Teapot
Gunner - Wildman
Sniper - ?
Support - Gemecide
Tank - Hawkshade


Not so sure about Gem or Hawkshade anymore, but for sure Wildman and Teapot.

Gem and Hawkshade said they can still play this weekend, so they are still in.

I'm in this weekend as well. I do have a sniper lined up but would require a lot of time to bring him up to speed. I've never played with zoom other than maybe once or twice. I know I've never seen his sniper so I don't really have a say. I would be willing to check it out of course.

I remember a while ago there was also a time we needed a sniper. We played a couple privates with various players and I made a rather bad decision in not giving an "unknown" sniper at the time a shot on our team until I played more with him. TEG picked him up and this youngin became zatchmo, the deadliest sniper in the game (in my opinion)

I remember playing against our Assault as a sniper that one match.

Knivez was our gunner I believe while Shammas was on your team.

We we're playing on Steel Peel and at the start of the match we we're getting our sh_t pushed in.

Through some miracle, we we're actually able to push up and turning the tide.

That was the most fun I had in a PM in a long time.

From what I saw in the 2 games Zoooom made like 2nd or 3rd in earning as sniper across both teams, he did very well. YA HEAR THAT ZOOOOOOM? YA DON'T SUCK.

MiracleJF? I only remember you playing assault and assassin unfortunately. Many people have brought you up recently, so I'm definitely interested. Not to sound cliche, condensending, or elitist like, but I would like to know if you are actually dedicated in the sense of playing to improve and playing to win?

It's not a great question, I know... but for lack of a better comparison I feel like knives became a dominating force because he wanted to become one of the best snipers. Motivation can help bring you that extra step of the way... I know he wasn't going all around claiming he was hot ****, but he still had the drive of being great.

One thing you don't have to worry about is having fingers pointed at you, poor criticism, arguing, or just a negative atmoshpere. Don't just judge me by my posts, we have a team that tends to stay positive and enjoyo the game.

More in the sense of playing more aggressively. I'm a passive-aggressive sniper.

I like to defend more than push.


Also I could use some help practicing my shots.

Knives plays passive sometimes.. being passive can work as long as you know when to capitalize.

Can't help you with your shot at all though. I wish I could and wish I was a better sniper, but I don't have the best accuracy with the rifle.

What my post meant was, do you have motivation to try and beat Head and Shoulders, and Jon#'s team? As much as I want you to enjoy the match, I want you to be just as focused on winning. I sort of want you to be confident, but not cocky. It's hard to explain..

I have enough motivation to try.

No guarantee I'll win, but I'll try to leave a lasting impression.

Well that's good. I'm not asking you to be as good as zatchmo or knives, but I want you to at least have enough confidence where you don't let your gameplay get you down, and make you do worse as a result of it.

If you want to win, try your best, and are confident in yourself you'll do better. If you doubt your abilty, your gameplay will suffer.

Is Zoo00OOm our sniper then Teapot? Haven't seen him play but heard you guys said he was good.

No, Zoom is a bad Sniper. I remember outsniping him when he was host.

darn, my secret is out
