Overwatch Issues

I saw a thread on here a while ago about overwatch being superior to all attacks. Obviously, overwatch causes some issues and I'm planning to nerf it.

The way my players used it in my last game kind of gave an example of something that I'd like to address.

Overwatch seems to allow players to exceed the rate of fire of their weapons.

There were two snipers using it. These weapons are single shot only. Three enemies entered the kill zone and each one shot three times within the span of a theoretically 10 second long turn. They also forced a pin check on all three enemies. How on earth is this balanced and why would anyone attack any other way?

This is correct ROW I believe.
