That's too extreme of a nerf. This basically removes all their offensive potential. Would 100% render snipers nonviable. Snipers need to somehow be punished me for getting under fire but without crippling them too much or having them die quicker.

Edit: sorry for double post

I don't understand the M20 timing buff for the following reasons:

A. Having snares on all rifles after teching is a massive buff for the M20 already.

B. Shortens an already short early game phase.

C. Most people are stuck in this weird mindset that LVs HAVE to function as a shock unit. This becomes particularly apparent in the 222 vs AEC and M20 vs 222 matchups. In both those cases the superior unit arrives around the same time, however this doesn't mean the weaker unit isn't viable anymore. You just have to protect it with snares or AT. In the Live version this is done by the LT bazooka which needs to be equipped immediately with the M20. In the patch you have snares on all your rifles in addition to this.

D. The M20 provides massive utility (Sight, Mines, AA, Smoke, Harrasment) even in the later stages of the game. It doesn't have to be a pure shock unit.

The problem with this right now is that you effectively pay 240 mp + at nade cost for one snare squad if you do this. Add this waste to an already slow T1 start and its just not gonna work out. What do you think about my Con Ptrs suggestion? I feel like this would be such a beautiful solution but i might be missing some non obvious consequences.
