Theres tons of way snipers can die, I'll do the list for you;
LK: They have more than 300k hp default, let alone they can do tons of damage with bowling bash. All they have to do is spam bowling bash on us, and while they spam it on snipers, we're taking 2x the damage since we have no shield on. Leaving us spamming tons of yggs.
Sinx: Sinx can easily kill us to, but only if they're a experience/smart sinx. They can easily SB us, or get really close and double dagger us, which also leaving us to spamm yggs
Ninjas: All they have to do is spam reverse tatami and we can't hit them. Let alone they have other annoying skills.
Clowns/Gyspies: They are able to spam AV and Tarot, like we'll either take 5-8k each AV's or get coma taroted. Let alone they are able to have a shield on while doing it, giving them a good offense and defense.
Creators: Have AD, mammonite, cold bolt, if played right, it's a pretty decent class.
Champions: That's pretty self explainatory, no need for me to get into that.
The list goes on, pretty much, every has a good offense and defense. Leaving sniper at a really low disadvantage. It either we give sniper a boost on a better offense so that they can do a ton more dmg on people who has shields on, or give them a defense. I myself want to give them a better offense. But that my opinion.
