I've been having a reoccurring problem lately..

what is a sniper without his headshot? nothing.

you see,
more and more lately,  people have been surviving my headshots..

it's so annoying..

now,
of course,
i understand the heavy surviving them..
and even the soldier, because they just seem to be invincible..
i mean,
i can't even remember the last time i killed a soldier with just ONE headshot..

but now,
i barely ever kill pyro's with one headshot...
and that just annoys me..
they already have a super small head, now i have to hit it twice?? screw some of that..
now-a-days, i probably get pyros on the first shot 5 out of 10 times.. [and remember, i'm talking about legit headshots]
now, i SUPPOSE that could be credited to the health boost w/ the backburner.. either way, it's lame..

now,
another class that's survived my headshots [twice so far for me]
is the Demoman..

i can't even understand why a demo, not being healed, would survive a headshot..

i guess i'm just venting..
but,
i'm annoyed that the only classes i can kill with ONE HEADSHOT now-a-days are the super jittery, jump-happy scouts, engineers, spies, snipers, and medics..

smg

Headshot on an ubuffed soldier will leave them so crippled that < a round of smg ammo will finish them off nicely. Some goes for demos and pyros.

Well, if you zoom and shoot without charging, you'll do 150 damage.  An unbuffed Pyro, Demo, Soldier and Heavy can survive that.  If you charge your shot for a second, you should be able to take down any class except Heavies and Soldiers in one shot.  If they are buffed, keep charging.  You can kill anyone with a headshot if you're fully charged, so sometimes you're better off waiting 2 or 3 seconds before shooting.

Also, the Backburner doesn't give the pyro extra health anymore.  Which I think is bogus, honestly he should have 200 health, but most people seem to disagree.

If you want to be sure, wait 2 seconds, and you can kill any class except a Buffed heavy in one shot.  Buffed, or un-buffed, they will go down.  EDIT:  3 seconds for a buffed soldier.

I mostly play scout, spy, and all the lower health class's. When I get head shot, i usually die. Mostly its body shooting that gets me

BB doesn't have a health boost anymore....
Maybe you're just improving your aim and getting your shots off quicker.

ya,
and i usually do so..

but the point is that i'm getting annoyed by all these classes surviving my headshots..

i mean,
sometimes you only have ONE CHANCE to get them..

plus, just the other day, on goldrush, i headshotted a soldier, and as he ran for cover i gave him another good shot right in the back.. he lived..
i suppose that time, he survived because he had a medic.. either way.. it's just annoying..
