Funny how you also get the spy vs spy effect: If the top-killer of a team is a spy, suddenly people on both teams start playing spy as well

Yeah there team started with no spies and by the last 30 seconds there team had 4.

Over there, of course!

[PTTG??]

I wouldn't give a scout a brass beast, but the detonator really should grant blast-jumping.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Gah. Played a match recently where I got three kills in a row as a sniper, yet the server didn't allow me to record replays. If you're wondering why making three kills in a row is so impressive to me, it is because I did it with a sniper rifle. And without using the scope (ie scopeless). Gah.

When they should have gone pyro.  Of course, it's always fun to go pyro yourself when they all go spy

Team-playing means (at the very least) adapting to both your own team and the opposing team...

[Jackrabbit]

Of course, I always maintain that if you're doing badly in all the classes you're picking for the sake of your team, you're justified in picking a class that you just have fun playing.

[Siquo]

Or if you're winning anyway and you're at the top of your team, you have to play your worst class.

If I ever play a sniper, I'm actually mocking you. 

[Jackrabbit]

Oh God yes. Fucking snipers, how do they work? Seriously, I've tried everything, lowering sensitivity, graphics, all the tips and tricks.

I guess I just really suck at playing sniper.

[ToonyMan]

When I'm playing one day and I find myself sucking really hard I usually decide it's a good time to try a class I haven't played in a while.  For some reason that always works for me.

Try moving yourself instead of moving your mouse. Line up the height, then move yourself for aiming. Needs a bit of practice, but it definitely works.

You could also go as a Huntsman sniper. Huntsmans are great if you suck at aiming. (Like me, heh.)

[Siquo]

I even suck at huntsman. Repeated bodyshots will eventually kill someone, though.

Wish I had been on a replay server during a turbine match once.  Had a kritz medic healing me as sniper.  Suddenly he pops uber...on me.(I'm guessing he was trolling)  I run out into the main area and noscope 2 scouts, a spy, a soldier, a demoman, and then chase down a scout after the uber runs out and noscope him too.  The medic was literally laughing after that.  "I really didn't expect that to work at all"

 Sniper is another one of those things where I watch videos of skilled people play and suddenly feel bad about the class. Apparently you are supposed to aim in front of a head to get it.

 Of course I tend to be somewhat unlucky about that when people inexplicably stop before running into the sniper dot.

[Myroc]

Heads are so mainstream. A fully charged bodyshot is enough to kill most of the weaker classes (including those delicious medics, most of the time), and anything that survives with the possible exception of a heavy is going to seriously reconsider his actions. This is why the sydney sleeper is awesome. Not only does it charge up faster, as an insult to injury you apply jarate to everyone you hit this way as well.
