Re: Why is Casper the worst character?

I T1'd Casper and his drone in a matter of days - it's all about finding the perfect spot to set up shop (lay down on the very top of the draw brige in Koleidoscope and you'll easily get 500+ SOFLAM/drone spots for example. I'm on console so I tend to stay away from snipers but I remember them being super OP at the start, plus the fact you could drone stuff tanks and make people cry.

I use Angels snowman suit in all maps so I don't think the wookie suit matters all that much but I get your point even though all the pokeballs/drones/wallhacks make them useless anyway imo. We did have 2 pokeballs but the amount was nerfed because they were getting pretty ridiculous

I think they made it so you have to get drone spots specifically, not any spot. I know my soflam spots and such don't count towards T1. As for the C4 bombing, yeah I can see them nerfing that. Feels really cheap to use (but hilarious) and feels really * to get that done to you as a tank. But at the same time there's sometimes when that's the only way to kill a tank. Cause they're sitting 150 m away surrounded by open ground and on top of a hill. So nearly impossible to kill them with a rocket without them running to heal.
But overall I do agree with the post. Casper's main goal is to be a spotting machine. Which feels really awkward in the game to sit there. I've also seen quite a few times people get in arguments over chat over people "farming with casper". I will forever standby my goal of saying that when playing casper, you should get no scope glint when staying still. Fits his character perfectly (centered around stationary), fits with his idea of an off combat utility player, and allows him to compete with the two other main sniper heroes (mackay and angel)
