@xx_Dante2k_xx Yes, you can use a sniper up-close. But that's not the role of the sniper. And you also can't expect people to purely get a sniper, more specifically the Kraber only to use it on close range. At this rate you can use the Devotion, too. In the most cases, games end when the ring has roughly a diameter of 200 meters. Which is the only point of the game where snipers are still in some way useful.
Again, what's the point of a - Let me highlight it - a one-shot kill sniper, if ranged takeouts are basically showing zero relevance. Revival is done quick. It takes 4 Kraber shots to kill a purple knockdown shield. I very rarely win a game with a sniper, or see people winning games with snipers. If they truly were that great, more people would use them. If some few people are using Kraber to end games, sure, but a little few aren't really drawing the rule here.
