          Reduce the range of sniper rifles significantly. This is my argument

I have fought against a sniper with a combat rifle and lost, that was a nice battle. You dont need insane range to snipe targets. Besides changing locations is better, instead of picking a spot no one will ever find you. Scanning range has been nerfed now, so its now even more difficult to find snipers even if you are close to snipers  
  Sitting in one spot the entire match is no different from AFK, after all the action changes

What do you expect them to do? No to your petition.  
  But you know thats not really true, your point is as extreme as mine haha. A proto assault and an ishukone sniper was not pushed into the redline haha. Some players just stay there from start to finish.

  Heavy too strong whack out a heavy Logi and heavy combo too strong whack out your own heavy and logi combo...what wait you can't do that  . At least a scout with a remote or any suit with a plasma cannon can counter that. At least there are more than one options. Right now with redline snipers: just one option

          I really dont mind if snipers get their high damage and range back, or even a general buff. Just reduce the size of the redline. Adding more buildings and cover inside the redline instead, I think that makes more sense
