I think awps are just a matter of how good or how cheap the person using them is… I was playing T on assault (later I switched), and I got bored waiting around and bought an awp just for *edited*s and giggles… I went up and noscoped in the vents, where you’re pretty screwed anyway, then once that died down I went to the roof and started cleaning up outside. I singlehandedly took out most of the team, and proceeded to take lots of heat for awping 
I then knife camped the vent (uneventful) for a round or two, then joined ct… the last round when everyone had the same plan, they actually won (imagine that)
So I’ll try not to convince people to restrict the awp on all the maps around, if I can help it. But a word of advice, if you’re awping and I knife rush and stab you to death and steal your awp, don’t whine if I tear apart your team with your awp
