During this past Heroic Juggernaut event I had a match where a Lieutenant had his healing countdown on the board and then I used GSBW's Sniper Rifle. All the tiles surrounding the countdown went boom but the countdown survived and fell to the bottom row.

    Do you know that GSBW's Sniper Rifle destruction layout has holes in it?

    At maximum size, it's shaped like this (the big X is the selected square, small ones are the other destroyed tiles):
    ........
..xxx...
.x.x.x..
x..x..x.
xxxXxxx.
x..x..x.
.x.x.x..
..xxx...

    At lower levels, the pattern is similar, but smaller. Learning this pattern is key to using sniper rifle effectively.

    Alternatively, think of the above as a xorn surrounded by grid bugs.

    Ah, so it doesn't clear everything inside the scope? Just the outline of the circle and crosshairs.

    There needs to be an overlay for that (all shaped) powers.

    Yeah, an overlay would be really handy for this, GSBW's pistol, and Hood's twin pistols. Everything else either is randomly placed or only affects the specifically targeted tile(s), as far as I can remember.
