Hypothesis: It can be considered less useful / more selfish to bring a sniper into 6s objective mode (control) vs say clash. The snipe set up can take a bit more time so you are not really capturing cps (those guys generally have 0 to lil captures, high KD/kda but less defeats and of course score) for that 1 shot they are looking for. Not saying its not skillful, or has effect on the battlefield but def hard to see in data. Test: So I wonder if you've seen a difference when another 6 is offered instead of Control? Or test this if you can find the population in another 6s. Note: I personally think it is good to make Control > GEN POP > Casual and so I have no problem with snipers being something ineffective in the mode. As you say > do your thing in 3s consider it wildly different. Wish we did have a mode (along with a cool reason) to play a weapon specific loadout mode... I think an event like this at least could be really interesting.
