The argument is circular because you're a dolt. Here's why.
The argument has been about the Sniper's long range capabilities. He is the only class in the game where his effectiveness is at longer ranges, while the other classes are restricted to shorter ranges. Given the immediate distances between bases in the way maps are created in Fortress Forever, the Sniper's advantage is almost immediate. The other nine classes follow a risk and reward pattern where the closer they get to the enemy, the more risk they take and the more damage they can deal. The argument has been on ranged weapons and ranged capabilities and so on.
The King misses this argument or just blatantly creates a straw-man argument where he believes we are calling the Sniper a black sheep simply because he is different. He supports his straw-man argument with messages like: "The Spy is the only class who can cloak." or "The Medic is the only class that can infect." and so on and so forth. The King misses the point that the abilities of the Spy's cloak or the Medic's infection, however broken for other reasons and in another contexts, are fine by their range of effectiveness -- the standard of this thread. These abilities are performed at a range where the potential to interact is available and at the same range that the other classes may capitalize on their own abilities and strengths.
People point out that this is like comparing apples to oranges. (That is a figure of speech not a literal comparison. Don't nitpick.) People inform TheKing that he is arguing from his own misunderstanding. People elaborate that the Sniper is different because he is a problem and not a problem because he is different. We point out that classes are expected to be different, with minor advantages and disadvantages, with strength and weaknesses. These aspects become balanced and fine-tuned to work at a range consistent among all the classes where they can be both capitalized on by the user or countered by the enemy with the same level of opportunity and potential. TheKing can not comprehend this, so he returns to his straw-man argument, which returns us here and back, forever and forever, thus the circular argument.

Feel free to criticize the way I write and deem it 'pseudo-intellectual'. This is a great cover-up for not having an argument of your own nor the evidence that you claim has disproven my position time and time again. <3
