>I have no idea how to fix Sniper without making him dogshit
Just give him more downtime and nerf quickscopes. Any combat class catches sniper with his pants down at close range he should be fucked, end of story. Reduce his reserve ammo so he has to go get ammo more frequently, make him slower so it's harder for him to get into position or run away, every shot should have the classic tracer so he is easier to counter snipe or highbomb. Make it take longer to scope in but he doesn't unscope to reload encouraging hardscoping.
After that all that needs to be done is delete his most broken unlocks. If he is forced to scope in more and doesn't have the razorback a spy can consistently kill him. He should be like heavy or engie. A powerful but otherwise stationary threat that struggles on the offensive. In my mind how sniper and spy should be balanced is sniper is more straightforward and defensive pick class while spy is a bit slower but once he's in the backline can cause chaos with support abilities and drawing attention away from the front.
