I feel frustrated with the way From manages to completely turn the game mechanics on its head. I feel doubly frustrated with the way this has affected my favorite type of AC, the sniper. In one game it's alright, the next it's mediocre, then in the next it manages to rule over and win against anything when paired with tactics that are strong in that specific game (backpedaling the whole time in LR, staying up in the air in AC4). It seems like everywhere you go there's yet another complaint against yet another n00b who just picks at you and stays away for the entirety of the match. Now I have nothing against winning, but playing against a build which you just can't touch no matter how hard you try is not going to be fun. Now I understand why some American players disconnect immediately from such battles, although I'm not inclined to do that myself.
Incidentally, those kinds of builds I've been hearing are all on the ranked servers on AC4. No wonder, it's all about winning there. Cheese be damned.
It's not so much the stigma of using a sniper in battle, if there is one (and it won't be among us, I'm sure: we're just glad to play). Or, in other words, "Ay sniper! Wag nalang!" It just bothers me that From can't seem to get it right. In retrospect though, I guess you can say that for other weight classes and types of ACs, that they're never perfect.
