Hello. I'm here to make an important suggestion for VSH: Nerfing Sniper. In particular:
Change "All rifles do 3x dmg bodyshots" to "All rifles do 2x dmg".
Initially, I didn't even realize we had this big issue, cause I never play as Hale. Then, during days and weeks, I've got several complaints by definitely too many people on the server who asked for nerfing snipers. I analyzed the situation carefully and understood they were right. I promised them I'd have made a suggestion thread on the forums and so here I am.
Before writing this, I also chatted with many VSH regulars in order to understand what should have been the kind of nerfing to apply on Sniper, all the pros and cons, in order to have everything balanced (also, thanks to all people who contributed to this suggestion, like @Skorpieo @Racer911-1 and @Pilon99 to mention few of them).
Actually, Snipers are too overpowered. Besides the 3x dmg bodyshot, they can climb with every melee, and the cozy camper gives them health regeneration while being able to have SMG as well (without crits).
The result of this is snipers being a total nightmare for Hales in wide maps (like dustshowdown or weaponsdepot, 2 classic maps), with top damages belonging mostly to snipers and many Hales swearing cause they can't do much. Let's remember that snipers have no class limit on VSH, we can also have 7-8 snipers and that's kinda hell for most of Hales in big maps.
Another idea would have been keeping the 3x dmg bodyshot but removing the climb or disabling the cozy camper, however that would have not granted self-defense to snipers.
Gonna repeat, I totally never play as Hale so that doesn't bother me at all. But I can't ignore so many people requesting this, and that's a matter of fairness.
Thank you all for reading. Have a great day.
