Beer, laughs and forum tears. That's what I bring.

The more people hate on sniping the more sniping i will do and the more redline sniping i will do. So go on keep hating so i can make you rage later on like you always do :) Please continue to redline snipe and pretend you are pro. Makes every match people play against you an auto-win.
Funny how someone thinks little ol' me running down to the objective is going to suddenly make a lousy team better or that a team already holding the objectives needs me to help.
I've been in one too many matches that didn't swing our way just because I was joining in the bunny hopping.
However, I've seen more than one enemy get distracted, move away from shooting a teammate in the back or at least go down to armor if not outright killed when I fired on them and allowed a teammate to take them out with little return fire.
Seems to be pretty useful to me. One guy with a gun at a distance does much better against an enemy squad than rushing them. If you are running away from them because they outnumber you what good are you then?
Not seeing every angle of the map all the time seems a problemGǪ for everybody actually.

Do I need to go further? Any slay orientated role can do all those things, plus they fit in with game mechanics....still waiting for a special reason to why we need snipers in THIS game
Because you can do the above with out having to jump around to avoid shots, get ganged up on or wait for your team to show up to back you up.
Firing from a distance in a position that the regular ground forces can't get too immediately and doing it with just one guy is advantageous. You can at least delay or break up an enemy push to an objective as well as thin their numbers while getting there.
It is nice to see the heavy running to the objective and at least take him into almost dead only to be a much easier target for your teammate to finish off when he gets there.
Sniping is the very deinition of giving up kills to help the team. A sniper getting a lot of kills is the one I worry about serving himself with sniper rifles the way they are now damage-wise.
I'd rather be one shotting people, but then people cried about it at the same time they complained about what use snipers were.
Odd logic.

Several times I've been able to thin the herd sitting on an objective to allow blues to take it. Of course, the blue assault types are useless and lose it again quickly which reinforces why my sniping rather than trying to uselessly take the objective as one more lone assault is a better choice.
Also, it is better to clear an area before you move into it. If you are going to be outnumbered then assaulting won't get you far.
Then you can move in, use an smg or other sidearm for CQ and drop links or something else.
Trying to snipe the whole game regardless of the circumstances is what is useless. It is what the player is trying to do that becomes useless, not the role itself.
An assault that doesn't assault very much due to getting protostomped is just as useless.
