There isn't really a lot that the devs can do to curb it unless they looked at the distance that you can hear gunfire etc.
I think they could really look at creating a legend who's kit is focussed on avoiding third parties, perhaps creating sound bubbles where the sounds of a big fight inside are suppressed.
Vantage is sniper type and KC is sniper galore, so maybe the devs wanted to improve attraction to the new Legend, since Newcastle proved not to be so popular during last season. And they do have the numbers (people using sniper weapons, Legend pick rate, etc.), so they plan, based on those numbers.
