Jerrmy, it's getting ridiculous. Stop spammin the ponies.(brony here)
As per 'redline' naysayers, if we actually had a reward for even leaving the redline, as compared to staying in there, we wouldn't have redline snipers.
For example: Snipers are complained about, having 600m range, and 'decent' damage.
Proposal: reduce Optimal Range by 200m(399m now)
Reduce Maximum by 100m(499m Absolute)
Increase damage by 30% on non-charged variants.
Increase headshot modifier by 50%+
Normalize zoom across tiers.
Now, we are actually REWARDED for killing with headshots(the skill)
And, with some additional tweaking needed, people are REWARDED for leavin the redline.
BAM!
We've fixed both ends of the problem:
Snipers complain about not dealing near enough damage(IMO you shouldn't 1hko a Sentinel, as that's their job(to be tough) but dealing 1k damage in a HS isn't TOO unreasonable, considering we remove them from the redline.)
And non-snipers complain about Redliners(using that as the ONLY basis for not buffing Snipers.) through discouragin redline abuse, and severely limiting damage outside of said R/L
Now... If only that Jerrmy12 guy could put a 'it's so cute when you think you know what you're talking about' Pony Pic. Then my life would be complete.

Snipers are fine. The red line is fine.
I went 31/0 using the charge sniper rifle going solo yesterday and got a love mail from some random on my team wanting to squad up with me.
The only thing snipers need is better location outside the red line that they can defend or a module that give them an alert proximity of enemy team members within X meters.
Beeper or windowbox, client update.
Not happening.
Scrambler Rifles have:
Highest In-game DPS
Highest hradshot modifier ingame
2nd best damage type's range.
Copious amounts of ammo.
Charge function to bring said damage/range into even more absurd levels.
In return, the SCR loses:
A few PG
A Heat function
Meanwhile- the sniper has:
Lowest DPS out of anything in-game, even Mass Drivers
Ridiculously low RPM
Standard headshot modifier, not properly encouraging this "Skillshot" the Amarrians keep speaking of
Nonstandardized zoom
In exchange, you get:
Long range ability
Instant Hatecard/ragemail every match
Not very balanced/fun/dynamic/skill based.
Increase headshot modifier to around Scr rifle levels
Standardize all zoom levels to Adv Tier
Start with that.
If snipers are still performing terribly(read: no better) then we can add some variants, tweak some damage, introduce new SS skills, blahblah.
Let's at least get them reasonably working within themselves.
