Slayer: Flaggers give you serious flak, "How dare he score kills while I'm stuck capping a point!". But we all know you're just as necessary as the Flagger (given you're good at your job).
Flagger: "The Real MVP" Sure the Slayer can get as many kills as he wants... But he WILL die eventually, if you don't make his points worth it he can quickly throw the game (which angers the piss outta ye.).
Trapper: You know who you are, whether it's a well-placed tripmine in a flanking position, FoH on a cap point, or Novabomb on their Heavy, the best way to ensure victory is to ensure your mates don't get any "surprises".
Harrasser: Nothing like being the steady push, you may not get all the kills but not for lack of trying. Hit-and-run, Sniping, anything to put pressure on them without ever [i]really[/i] being in danger until that "clever girl" comes 'round. Sure you're not the greatest contributor, but that doesn't mean the enemy's gaining any points from you.
Defender: "We have our flags aye, but we all know what happens if they don't stay up.". Call 'em campers, sissies, etc. You know there's someone on your team doing the same thing down the stairs at B over in Blind Watch. Main difference from the Harrasser is the tendency to stick closer to points instead of staying right behind the Slayers.
Jester: You know that ass-hat that took your teams' heavy ammo, then darted off like that giddy little school girl who stole your sweetroll back in third grade? or the lad who darts-in, has your entire team chase him for a good 7-10 seconds all while the enemy team caps points/take potshots? Hi. (K/Ds may vary, extremely reliant on a competent team/communication to capitalize on the enemy's distraction.)
Oh... Wow didn't expect that many votes in the first five minuets...
"The Last Word": I knew many of these traits would apply to certain players, hence the "preference" part of the poll (I myself for example am a very competent Slayer, Trapper, and Jester (Jester-Trapper combo works quite well.). What do you have the most fun/satisfaction of doing (Jester)?
"Well, almost": We hit 5K votes, thank you for the information, of course this is not a definitive poll.

It's weird because I play all of these roles in my matches. Basically, I do whatever needs to be done in order to win the matches. That said, I do go for the kill and try to predict when enemies are coming for the zones, so I would say I'm a slayer.
