You expect to make people lose 200k dropsuits from the safety of your redline while dying maybe once a blue moon? You would think people are smart enough to pick up a sniper themself and kill us glass cannons but they continue to run around. Still it's practically impossible to kill a proto suit without the thales that is moving. Hmm... So basically, you have to bring a tank to counter a tank?
So what are you arguing? That the sniper rifle's range needs to be decreased to the point where people with ARs/CRs/RRs can hit them?

Can somebody please explain this notion to me? Or do people hate Snipers simply because killing one requires them to actually search for one?
Favorite part of the game for me is when you're playing as a sniper and you hear/see a shot land nearby. Let the game of cat and mouse begin!

I can one shot nearly every scout bar the most tanked one, I can one shot most non proto medium frames, and it's not problematic to get multiple shots into a heavy.
All so deep within the redline that I didn't lose a single Thale's in a few dozen matches.
The Thale's being OP doesn't change the fact that the non-charged SR's are all underpowered at this point in time. I would happily take a reduction to the Thale's if it meant an increase in damage to the other SRs.
Honestly, though, an easy fix for sniping/counter sniping would be increased zoom/fidelity when scoping. The ability to zoom past your maximum range would go a long way towards identifying where the redliners are camped and allow you to get into position.

Aside from being completely helpless in a firefight, you mean? You know, wielding a weapon that doesn't even give you an estimate of where a hip-fired shot would land? All those poor snipers out there, we have no idea how to aim at a target directly in front of us unless we're looking down the scope.

Agreed...excluding scout suits that knowingly choose to avoid shield/armor in favor of speed/stealth.
This actually raises the biggest issue with giving SRs a flat "buff"--players that can't afford to run better suits/haven't skilled into them would be affected much more than proto/tankers. I believe the better option would be to increase the zoom and slightly increase the effectiveness of headshots; a OHK should be the result of landing a well-placed shot and not the ability to rapidly plug away at a target.
