Uber's opinion on the PC Sniper?

There wasn't anything concerning the Sniper in the Valentines Day update. I'd like to know Uber's current stance on him, as in, is he balanced or can we expect some changes?

I like how you gave yourself the answer to that one.

Sefam from SPUF? God I hate your complaining, but oh well. (No offense, well, only if you're offended shall there be offense). I do kind of thing freeze traps are oh so annoying, seeing as Snipers can throw them around willy nilly, and you can't do a thing about them. They also get to sit NEXT TO SPAWN, and get kills, juice, money, upgrades, and everything.

Everytime I see a sniper, know what I say? I say "If you don't want to be in the action, don't play the game." *eyeroll*

Start at page 1, you can stop reading at about page 25.

"A black cat went past us, and then another that looked just like it."

There wasn't actually any gameplay change in the update, except for the bot streaks. I wanted to know if Uber had a stance for future updates concerning the character.

Yes, it's me. If I had a different name, you wouldn't have had that opinion of me, so please keep my opinions concerning microtransactions and sowhatnot out of this topic, it's off-topic.

Also, please don't argue about the Sniper, that was done plenty enough. I want Uber to give their opinion about it, I don't want people flaming each other.

Sorry, I'm locking this one down too.

Scathis is aware of the concerns in the community about Snipers. As I already mentioned in the last thread, sorry, the last-almost-50-pages-thread, he is keeping an eye on every class, especially on the Sniper.

Hasty balancing decisions are usually bad ones so I guess he will wait a little bit and see how the metagame develops.

Please read my comment on balance in the other therad too:

Let's be patient and see how the situation develops. I think we have discussed every possible aspect in the other thread already and then some...
