You havent really played X-com until u miss a 99% shot.....seriously....

Had that happen in Enemy Unknown... Lost my highest ranked Assault as a result when he missed a point blank shotgun blast.

Enemy Unknown(no DLC) was a fair bit easier though in that Snipers with Squad Sight were OP compared to other options. Set them up high in some corner of the map and start each turn by putting them on Overwatch. Once you activate an enemy pod the sniper would shoot them as they attempt to dash for cover.

XCom 2 in contrast pressures the player to take risks due to the turn limit, which means some attrition can't be avoided; without such limits in Enemy Unknown you'd stack your team up in cover near an open space and lead a turn with a Run and Gun Assault like it was some sort of SWAT raid.
