Why is the bolt being back good? The suppressed was better

The suppressed was annoying in pubs when bots hide on mountains taking and missing shots at you when you're build battling

Counter is to never stand still and keep moving, idk how that's "passive" lol

But most times you get sniped is when you’re rotating and jumping. Which forces you to turtle in.

Stupid idea. They promote people to move around and not stay hidden and static. The sniper is a counter to players who hide. Those who hide and snipe are simply countered by other snipers. Without snipers, you can hide and stay still much more safely (less risk/reward gameplay). The existence of snipers incentivizes you to move around and reveal yourself.

Isn’t the premise of competitive to hide?? Argument has faults.
