I wanted to talk about snipers. Since the nerf of snipers bots a while ago I havent seen them used in any significant manner (I play mapgen). After trying to make them work a good few times I realized they are very rarely worth the trouble (I use them against ACU pushes and barely anything else). I want to know what skilled players think of them.

I am aware of how oppresive they were before the nerf, and that a nerf was required but its a shame that a fun and unique unit was rendered mostly useless.

My take about the balance is reverting the changes and instead applying these, reducing their speed and giving them a resource cost increase (especially BP but also mass and E), and E drain while reloading, so more infrastructure is required before you can mass them, giving the opponent time to prepare a response. Id also buff t3 mobile arty (which I think should be one of their counter) making it more agile so you can deploy and retreat them faster.
