Actually alot of its not luck. What people aren't realizing is that a vast amount of players don't play this anymore. The player base is extremely low compared to what it was. The majority of the players left are the ones that have been playing for along time. With that said, with time comes skill. Meaning alot of the players left are the ones that have mastered there craft. That's why things have been very "sweaty". It's not an imbalance of weapons, classes, etc. It's that the majority of players left are just good at what they do. For example, I'm not great at PvP. I'm average at best. I suck at 6's but I'm pretty decent at 3's. Most snipers (myself included) can time the flinch we get from being hit in order to get a dome in. We know the meta well. If someone's hitting me with a mida, it can only shoot so fast. In our minds we can time it and pull the trigger in between the fire. It does take a bit of skill and practice to do. What people need to quit doing is challenging snipers in a snipe lane. Secondaries are supposed to be better than primaries. There's so many ways to out play them to. One tactic i like to do when i know im being out sniped is to starve them of special ammo. Tactics and strategy can normal out play people with higher gun skill. With the lack of player base, it's going to be challenging but knowing the maps, lanes, counters, etc will significantly help you.

Which I've been practicing my ass off, but sometimes it really seems wasteful, but not because of the doing, your points were more than valid, and I get it, because like I said I've lucked into well timed counter snipes. I can obviously use more practice, but anytime I go into some skirmish or if trials isn't active, some elimination; I always get the most lag filled lobbies. I just don't know what to do, I wish someone could help me lol
