I think certain forms of CC make headshots harder to get. For example, Nyx's Chaos makes enemies target one another, so they don't face you. A lot of enemies can't be headshot from behind, so even someone with perfect aim would experience a DPS reduction I use snipers a ton. I have a good riven for all of them, and very much prefer Lanka over Rubico Prime for most missions. Its my third favorite overall behind Sporothix and Perigale. Every sniper skill checks the user pretty hard, but gives unrivaled damage in return
Snipers just aren't great for most missions, that's a simple fact. Most factions have a bunch of enemies that are horrible for headshotting purposes, stuff charges at you all the time and the general pace of gameplay is just too fast for a playstyle that involves scoping in a lot to feel enjoyable. There's a reason they barely see any use outside of Eidolon hunting.
You can swap the order of polarities without re-formaing. Should allow you to make corrosive on that rubico

I wish they would buff the Snipertron vandal. It has such a cool name, you have the things damn near worthless.
They should have new arcane mod that allow dot and that has the same time as deadhead with 30 fire rate.
Dont sleep on the Komorex.
Fighting words, but I think shotguns are just superior.
For general combat, certainly. Snipers really don't have the most use outside of a few very specific mission types.
