Or could make things worse. If a drop uplink is placed in the wrong place, it becomes a camping spot for the opposing team to wipe out your entire clone reserve (Yes ,I am exaggerating, I know) Plus, not everyone has skills for drop uplinks or logi suits. Or vehicles.
When I play as a sniper, I'm more likely to be nearer to the opponents redline than my own.

I usually don't care if we lose, even repeatedly, but when I KNOW we'll lose, again, and again, and AGAIN....I'm just the sniper that just sits there to watch how they'll beat us this time... When I'm lone wolfing, I can usually tell whether or not my team is going to win based on the actions of the rest of my team mates in the opening minute or two of the match. Also, unless your putting up 20+ kills a game with that sniper rifle you are part of the problem.
Don't base how useful a sniper is based on number of kills. If they're going straight up hunt and kill then yeah, obviously kills matter, but if you're sniping in area denial mode, you're more likely to get more kill assists than straight kills. For a kill you need to get a headshot (and sometimes even that doesn't do it) but just hitting and taking down shields makes targets evade at which point the sniper often can't track them quickly enough to get a kill, but it makes it easier for a friendly to get a kill.
I'm not saying that redline sniping isn't part of the problem (regardless of how many kills the get) just that you shouldn't judge a sniper by kill count alone.
