I'm sorry but I hae to disagree with your assessment. How exactly were they going to get to the Sniper easily? Jaune is pretty evidently not on par with any of the fighters there as per usual. So for JNPR it was essentially NPR vs. BRNZ. The sniper's point of strength was cover fire in thick forest brush.

Charging towards her doesn't guarantee that she'll just sit there and let them find her and none of them, other than Nora has a weapon that'd sufficently remove her cover. And that's ignoring her team mates who'd still be attacking them.

Also wiping the other team as they charged? How? BRNZ clearly knows what their team strength is. They weren't going to forgo their sniper's cover fire(which clearly has no problem breaking through JNPR's cover) BRNZ was charging with the full intent of their sniper backing them up.

Also Pyrrha 1 v 3? I doubt that. If it was the 3 melee members, probably. But two melee members supported by the sniper? No way. Her attention would have to constantly be elsewhere as the sniper does what she's supposed to do. distract or take incredibly dangerous hits. We saw with Nolan vs Ren what that does.

For the situation they were in, Jaune's strategy was the proverbial best move they had. With Ren drawing sniper fire while Nora got to charge up and destroy all of the sniper's ocver in one go. The only thing I'd essentially have changed was having Pyrrha or himself act as a consistent shield for Nora as she drew away,

As for the Neptune point. Lightning has jack all to do with water. Just cause Water is an amazing conductor doesn't mean a lightning user has to be fond of it. Hell, what fictional lightning user do you know that has an express fondness of water?
