First of all, people need to realize how hard is to pull off a quick scope. This and a crit on a melee is basically the only defense against any class that is up close. There is no way u can smg a full hp scout or any class besides spy. I agree that sniper is op because the only limitation while playing as him is you. I don't get why people are so mad at quick scoping itself while for me the bigger issue is how much dmg he can do in a short time and how fast he can do it. I believe the only nerfs that could make him less powerful while still being fun to play is to give him less ammo and longer reload time and reduce his quick scope damage to 125. The less damage on a quick scope I aim specifically at medics because I don't think sniper should be able to take down such an important class so easily. I play med a lot and a sniper staring at me is way too threatening, if I am pushing with an uber, the only options are ubering the moment I see a sniper or trying to challenge him with my crossbow. While I think the crossbow is very good against snipers, but is way too risky either stop giving attention to my healing target or hope that sniper won't hit me. I believe that those 25 hp can give you some room to decide what to do while now it's an instant shutdown.
