@Lady_One It does not matter whether AP damage is lower than standard by 10 or 45 percent when you run across an open field (which happens very often in battlefield) and multiple snipers are firing at you from a kilometer away. You're still going to die after a couple of shots which you can no longer escape from, considering even before the nerf you had to avoid having your legs being shot. Not to mention cases where these snipers are shooting at you from very different angles and the only chance you had was to crouch back with your shield out.
Snipers that never play the objective wouldn't understand.
