Also, peek-a-boo can happen unless there is a cooldown, but at least the jumper is still in view as opposed to teleports which makes the thrustpads a better solution. Peek-a-boo may just be part of the game since we already see it in games with people doing it around corners and other cover. We'll see if they add a cooldown or not.

And see, here is where this issue merges with TTK.

Should we really have snipers with 1 hit kills? Headshots I accept, always have.

But are we talking 1 hit kills to the body here? Alternatively, if we're talking 2-3 snipers setting up together and firing simultaneously, that's fine, I just don't want to see sniper 1 hit kills other than headshots.

And you know, there's another thing. Even people who like the pads idea, it doesn't mean that they are going to get used 20 times per minute. Snipers who deploy just to get jumper/thruster kills might find themselves getting less kills overall. just a thought.
