As I mentioned on the discord, some people create these custom champions solely on the fantasy, not the practicality in both the champion's function in game or in lore.

Jomariski likely thought the following: ''sniper champions should have limited AS, because they are slow but accurate. They should also not rely on critical strikes, as each hit should be intentional. Also, snipers have great range, so let some abilities, especially that ult give some range; make sure he still uses basic attacks, since that is how he shoots. Let's not forget a Q that pierces and slows, because all snipers need that. Aah, but they need to be mobile, like in CSGO, so let 'im be a bit mobile just for the hey of it.''
