The speed of the game dictates a small margin of error. Things with an area of effect lessen the margin of error by large amounts. The simple fact that it is much easier to hit somebody with a rocket in a closed environment than it is to hit somebody in an open environment with a single round is reason enough to always use a soldier over a sniper.

An equally skilled soldier will kill more people, and waste more of the enemies time than an equally skilled sniper. This automatically makes the soldier a better choice 100% of the time.

I mean, even Paulbunyan didn't use sniper in clan matches. There is a reason for that.
