Regarding snipers, I don't know if I agree with this part:

"3. When you see some enemy bot sneaking around and capping beacons ejecting into a fast knife fighter and chasing after it is the best course of action."

Maybe that applies in Gold, where I hear that there aren't any Cossacks and relatively few Stalkers, but in lower tiers, I would think that sniping at the capper will probably be more effective than chasing it around. That first shot will likely cause it to slow down its progress immediately and can also get your teammates to help out.

And if you eject, you needn't choose a knife fighter. A midrange support bot can also be effective against a capper, perhaps moreso.
