I think the main issue is the fact that it does reduce the time that you can shoot the AWP, lets you couldn’t quickswitch to decrease that load time, I think Lucky hit the nail on the head, it would force you camp farther back as a sniper should. I get *edited*ed off when I see an AWP on the front lines and he is able to take out a good 4-5 enemies before someone finally gets out far enough to get a good shot at him. Without quickswitch that AWPer would not be able to do this. I have no problem with switching to clear your zoom I do the same thing, I DO NOT do it when I fire though, it is another one of those things that gives the AWPer yet another advantage they DO NOT need.
