So, if you don't hogsnipe as they're comming to your base and you're already at bh, and your partner is at the other base trying to get to the flag, then you either have to pray to god that rockets spawn or you hogsnipe them. And you don't need 33 to hogsnipe. I don't get 33 ever. I can hogsnipe at least 50% of the time when I have 100 ping or under. But, it takes me more than one try.
As for base defending, if you get sniped by the cappers partner, while the capper is inside the base, then your best bet it picking up a sniper, porting, and hogsniping. There's no way in hell are you going to land a grenade across the map because most cappers don't drive near your portal when they have the flag.
Hogsniping isn't hard, you can do it too. You don't need 33 ping to be a good hogsniper. Tbh, I've gotten plenty of hogsnipes in Tato's 200 ping server. And I've seen many good players hogsnipe in euro servers. All you really need to do is find the lead and you're good to go.

All you really need to do is find the lead and you're good to go. 1) So you're mid, you're gonna waste ammo trying to snipe when ur partner has rox? I mean again, under 100 ping changes thing because then you can spawn kill and cover, but anything over 100, that's not what I would do. I wouldn't waste ammo trying to hog sn. I would chuck a few nades at frg or os if it's up trying to flip the capper, and then I would use sn ammo to push for my partner. If the defender drops and my partner dies, all good, he defends and I'll try to push on foot . If my partner makes the kill, I would switch teams go back and defend, even if i have to leave a full sn mid. If the defender stays on top, I spam sn at him and keep him away from my partner. If my partner fails with that help, not my problem. As for hog sniping without 33, yes I can do it skruffy no shit, I know you can, and I know Gambit can. But none of us can do it on 50% of our shots. If you shoot 2 clips in 150 you might land one or two, but not four or five. Base defending, dont be dumb. Use the walls like cover just as you would if you guys were closer. Assume you're facing a GODLY sniper who's going to snipe you if you stick your neck out, so just try and never do that. Hogsniping is not particularly hard, but since a large portion of QS (aka 90% of you) can't do it consistently (I can't either), why would you guys ever rely on it in a scrim? Use the noodle.

You just have a different playing style than me. I don't teamswap at all because I think it's stupid. But when you have a good shot at the hog, why not? And when I base defend, you can't just sit in the same spot. You need to change your angle so you can nade them. And when I mean I hogsnipe 50% of the time, I mean if I see a hog he I would snipe him 50% of the time. Not that I will headshot him on my first try 50% of the time. That's not even possible.

And when I mean I hogsnipe 50% of the time, I mean if I see a hog he I would snipe him 50% of the time. Not that I will headshot him on my first try 50% of the time. That's not even possible. In 10 games, I might teamswap once. I wouldn't let myself get in a situation where I would need to usually. When you have a good shot at the hog, by all means take it, but you're not doing your team any favors unless you can help your partner against that 2 d. And the reason I wouldn't encourage your clan to learn to hog snipe, is because with the exception of a handful, no one in QS is good enough to push against 2 d unless you have good ping, and you kill them, and you spawn front, and none of them drop into base. In which case you just got lucky. If you remember that the goal of the game is not to shut them out but just to have more caps, it makes more sense. Ahh I understand what you mean about 50% of the time now. But I wonder, how do you choose between when to snipe them and when not do? Here's when I might hogsnipe. If my partner is capping and I'm coming in behind with another hog and the other teams man is driving away, I might try and snipe him, but only because I know I'll be able to hog in and really push for my partner right after that. Unless I have a hog or am really confident in my ability to push, I wouldn't do it. Base defending. Well technically, if you can bounce the nades off the walls right, you can throw a nade to just about any spot you would need to, if you are standing in hiding behind the portal. Dark does it well. Also, put yourself in the other team's sniper's shoes. You can move forwards and backwards, and even side to side a bit, as long as you keep something in between you and his sniper. Realistically, if you expose your skin for a millisecond, hes not going to kill you unless he's walling. I will detract my earlier statement. At some level, hog sniping can be useful. It's not as useless as I said at first. However, the situations we've talked about, it is not the only way and rarely the safest or most consistent way to get the job done. Mainly because it requires a level of shot that only about 1/50 trialers possess. It looks cool, but my point is I would rather see QS members getting some game concept, learning to cap, and improving their pistoling skills, than focusing on an advanced concept of the game that has a very specific and somewhat superfluous use.

Well I only hogsnipe if for whatever reason, my teamate and I are both at our base. Or, If I see a capper leaving their base, I'll shoot him because I like to keep their team on lockdown.

because i love you mortal Really, i really want to learn how to hogsnipe, is a good tactic. I don' t care if you don't need it in a 2v2.. but I know if I learn to do it, you can improve my technique in order to shoot better with the sniper. Still, I feel I'm good without hogsnipe and I could go on like this.
