Then you clearly are just desperately trying to justify it, because with any of the other rifles you could kill any enemy in one in less than the time it takes just to apply the jarate effect, never mind the fact that that doesn't even necessarily cause them to die afterwards.Calibanbutcher said:It appears to me that the Sydney Sleeper is a support gun, which afflicts the target with a jarate effect, which can be very useful for your teammates and make you a great pillar of support to your team.
Look, let me break it down for you:
Sniper rifle = instantly kill anything if you can headshot, even fully overhealed heavies.
Sydney sleeper = Bodyshot for reduced damage, and apply an effect that may not even be at all useful, and that the enemy can recover from.
Protip: Actually killing an enemy is significantly more useful to your team than just damaging them, killing them quicker (headshot) is even more useful as it removes them from the fight quicker reducing the enemy damage output and survivability as it allows your team to more easily focus enemies, and requires more skill. If you're using a Sydney Sleeper, you're not 'supporting your team' as well as you could be with the other rifles.
Christ, the wannabe smartarses on this forum. Try harder next time.
