Throwing my own 2 cents into the conversation, i personally favoe the sniper. With the huntsman being released, sniper has become more versitile to more close range maps and more offensive and aggressive roles. The jarate and bushwaka make a great combo for close quarters, along wIth the smg + any kukiri (personally i like the shansha) when using the sniper rifle at further distance battles. Along with having the ability to control a battlefield by wiping out mainy people with one blow, he can screw up the enemy teams comp. and snag the medic that just got uber, the heavy mowing down your team, and the engie that built hos sentry around the corner. Still, he has his own cons and can be easily punished if he misses a shot or gets caught in a bad situation like scout rush or spies that know how to decloak. Tl;dr : sniper is awesome, but can still be stopped. Still gets my vote.
