Shooters do have to be cautious, their big mistakes are HUGE when it comes to positioning. Stuff like, "Oh I'm 6 units away from cover" goes from, "No problem, I'll just nitro to it", to "Ohshitohshitohshsitoshi-BOOM", VERY fast in a ship like shooter.
Why do you hide anyway? You have yellows, with good CDs, go ahead, nitro, OB, kite, fight!
I seriously don't care about sniping attacks, there's always a good chance they'll miss or not crit.
As Shiro from Log Horizon said to Serara, "Don't think about what you cannot do, focus on what you can".
I cannot dodge a sniper shot, I cannot predict which snipeshot will crit, I cannot out-dps the enemy healer, I cannot and SHOULD not hide while my items cool down unless it's all of my items that are cooling down.
I CAN charge into the sniper shooter while weaving, slightly affecting his judgement. I CAN go YOLO and enjoy the feeling of helplessness in the enemy's eye when their shot doesn't crit. I CAN stack healblocks on the enemy fixer, with my flare, my stun or my frost. I CAN kite and distract while my weapons cool down, issuing taunts by nitroing in the faces of my enemies in the 2.5 seconds that they cannot hit me.
