Sniper bullet velocity could be higher than it is now.

I feel like there is not enough bullet velocity (I mean projectile speed) for snipers to make sniper rifle good option in this game and could be fun if it was easier to hit with them at longer distances.

I also feel like marksman rifles (G7, 30-30, Bocek) are much better than sniper rifles (Sentilel and Longbow) no matter range because they have much better fire rate which allows you to spam and KO much more players... They also have more DPS (maybe not on paper, but they just do).

Im also missing sniper scope on Tripple take, it was more fun using TT than Charge rifle.

    They don't really want to make Sniper Rifles be better than they are now. If you remember when they buffed the Longbow by 5 dmg, then you should also know they reverted it the next season since it saw a lot more usage and people were complaining about being pinned by Longbow teams. Sniper Rifles can be oppressive so they have to be "weak" (but not really) in order for players to not feel "punished" for playing the game. 

    I think it'll be best to wait towards the middle of next split before making sound judgements as a lot of teams have been using Sniper Rifles(Longbow/Charge Rifle) and Marksman Rifles(Bow/30-30) more often in Ranked. Ranked teams are more receptive to a person using a Sniper/Marksman Rifle now compared to previous seasons.
