I mostly agree, there's only a few snipers you can pseudo reliably use in crucible. A god roll Supremacy or Silicon Neuroma in my case. In the case of the latter (A HIGH IMPACT SNIPER WITH ONLY 3 ROUNDS PER MAG) headshotting a super only does 160 damage, and with all the drawbacks that the archetype has in addition to being a sniper there's no real reason for me to use it even though I love sniping. I'm now using just the supremacy when I snipe, Headshots on supers land for 121, which means I'm better off using this because of it's higher aim assist, mag size and base handling. I like the look of the supremacy, but I also like my Silicon neuroma, I like sniping, but I also like winning, so I typically don't unless I get a map like Vostok or Midtown. I really want sniping to be good again, and there's not too much that needs to be done for me to snipe a lot more.
1. Archetype balancing, other than bodyshot damage theres no reason for me to use a Silicon neuroma over twilight oath or supremacy. The latter weapons have higher aim assist and better follow up shots.
2. Making sniper rolls relevant, Why are hip fire and range finder perks on snipers? This is fine, but there needs to be some sort of adjustment to the perks like what was done to range finder on grenade launchers and rocket launchers.
3. Give people a reason to snipe outside of just liking the idea of sniping, maybe a questline for a pinnacle reward in a future update or season. Get people used to the idea of sniping, maybe some will find they like it.
