Snipers fill the same roll as Bows.

That is they're a high damage low kills per minute weapon specialized in taking out heavies. You only ever really need one per team and only after lvl 100ish. Below that level majority of their damage is a waste and their kill rate is too slow to be acceptable.

As level increases the kill rate of snipers and bows purportionaly improves compared to other weapons. In other words if you don't do content over lvl 100 there's no reason to use them outside of flavor and wasting time.
