Hear, hear! The game would be more fun in general if everyone stopped being a sniper slut. I rounded the corner to the long corridor on Pantheon today and FOUR opposing team players were hardscoped to our side.

Lighting nades behind them.................... "THIS IS AMAZING"

Anyone who just sits and hardscopes a spot deserves a shotgun to the back. Or a shouldercharge, lined up perfectly to maximize the hardscopers airtime from the shouldercharge. Or hit them from the side if it would send them off a cliff. And have the entire thing recorded, from the lining up to the point of contact to any resulting airtime. I was on twilight gap, clash, on the side where you spawn initially on the heavy, walked around the corner, got sniped as first blood. Eventually the spawns flipped, and the guy was still hardscoping where he sniped me. Casually walking behind him and a shotgun to the back of his jack-o-lantern head was very satisfying. Now, a case could probably be made for each map but some, like Pantheon, are especially sniper friendly, almost geared towards sniper instead of shotgun. I'm not trying to be for or against a sniper meta, just saying some maps seem designed for snipers instead of shotguns, and people decide to find a way to make the other maps sniper friendly.
