Cheese Ausar is perfectly right - it depends on your play style.

Personally I like being the sneaky, almost invisible, guy in the background securing kills by having knowledge of my opponents every move instead of a full frontal combat. Hence the Sniper was a perfect choice.

The Assault has a high skill-cap, and due to him being more or less skillshot based, he can be considered a high-risk/high-reward class. Soldier/Heavy are more safer picks as they can give a good result under almost any circumstances.
