Well it's not punishing snipers this is designed to punish bad snipers, the scrubs. I want to get excited when I get domed, I wanna say without a doubt in my heart "what a good shot!" Not oh my gosh another person who is just getting body sights and grabbing primary kills.

You shouldn't be running into "bad players" if they are so bad. It's just a different way to snipe. Just uhhhhhhhh. Why are we punishing the BAD players anyway!?

Because literally every player of every variety are attaching themselves to snipers using them as a crutch to make up for lack of skill. So why would players do this? If sniping was hard or took skill wouldn't it make sense to find a better weapon? Well guess what? Snipers is crutch weapon type now because of the lack skill to use it, so how do you fix this? Add skill add penalties add things to sniper instead of make hit boxes smaller or lowering all their stats or ruining even more perks.
