Re: How to tone down Vantage & S14's sniper meta?

Actually yes, I have been a bit shocked that pro's having issue with that didn't pop up at some point. Maybe Vantage just isn't being used much at the high comp skill level. 

I will say this.... I absolutely hate having a Vantage as a teammate (rando). 

They seem to only care about high damage. Will sit in one place and fire in all directions racking up damage, but won't push, rotate, fight. I don't typically use long range weapons, so I either just have to sit beside them and watch our as* because she's giving away our position to the whole lobby and do nothing (I'm not wasting precious ammo) especially when I know I can't hit anyone from that distance - or - I push and fight alone while my Vantage partner stays in the same place shooting at 8 different teams in all directions. Frustrating.

    @NickBeam27 

    Then the players you are playing with, that are playing Vantage are doing it wrong.

    Give her two SMG's or an SMG and an AR and she rocks CQC as well as range with her Ult. 

    Been playing her with a Rev-Tane combo and it works well, hit one or two SM shots and push hard and get the sqd wipe.

    @Asmodeus566 Yeah, I have had Vantage on my team a limited amount of times where the user did actually know how to use her properly. However, the majority is what I explained above.

    @Asmodeus566 Nothing else she can do with such a pathetic hitbox she is at a disadvantage in every close fight she takes
