Why are snipers being told off for doing their jobs?

I don't mind snipers generally, but it's aggravating if you can't shoot back.

I find if a sniper is far enough in the red line, it's impossible to attack them on foot. So, counter-snipe, right? Well, it seems like the texture/rendering glitch is still alive and well, because I've gotten a bead on redline snipers before but have found my shots unable to register (eaten by hill, or who knows what else).

That's problematic. For counter-sniping to be a solution to the problem, the sniper rifle I aim with the reticule red, unwavering, on a stationary target.... should have the hits actually register. Redline sniping should not be a zero-risk venture. Though I feel I'm complaining more about texture-glitch/rendering issues, which are bugs more-so than the practice of redline sniping itself. As long as things like that exist, redline sniping is a bit broken though, it's just a matter of whether or not the player knows how to exploit it.

That doesn't mean that snipers as a whole should suffer though :/. There's a reason snipers stay far back for. It keeps their K/D high which in turn means they can even afford their PRO gear and fits. A sniper who dies more then once wearing ADV , say twice, may lose profit or break even. At worst their losing money every game.

By the way isn't it sort of you teams fault as well for not having any counter snipers? There are ways to snipe even the best of them (top of the MCC) if they don't catch onto you you've basically got the whole BF under your thumb. But i'll say it again don't use MLT gear as the basis for all snipers since at higher levels a dead sniper loses money and it's hard enough as it is. If anything they could add sort of a recon sniper which get's an increase to scanning range for all scanning devices and an increase in precision. It'd sort of the opposite of the gallente sniper suit.
