Editing Sniper (Highlander) (section)

=== Area denial ===

Sniper can shut down entire attack routes with his ability to kill every class in the game in one shot, given proper preparations and steady aim. Even his mere presence can cause enemies to back off - Spy may opt to use a friendly disguise to keep the enemy team guessing at Sniper's real position. Sniper can ensure cart lanes and control points are clear, and can shut down flanking pick classes before they can attack his team's combo.

The objective is of particular interest to Sniper; he should focus on the cart on Payload maps and control points on Attack/Defense and KOTH maps. Important classes tend to gather around the objective, and killing them slows down the enemy's progress and opens up opportunities for your team to push in.
