I think a better work around is that shots from the hip or an unfocused shot (IE, not holding breath) do ~half damage, so they are incapable of a one shot kill. While a focused shot will perform maximum damage. This way it would be impossible to quick scope as a player would have to scope and hold breath. If using a sniper correctly, then it likely means a player will already be in scope, and will only have to hold breath and move the scope a bit to take the shot. It would also make perks that let you hold breath longer more helpful.
