If I had entered this map with an SRM or medium-range machine, I could have responded.
You're tying my hands and feet, what am I supposed to do?
The map/mode vote exists and you have a vote too. Don't use it willy-nilly, choose maps and modes that advantage you (and if none do, withhold your vote for that drop). Sometimes you get screwed by the combination, but it's something you can play around with map knowledge most of the time.

On one side of the hill, there's our team and me, and on the other side, there are enemies. What can I do here with a sniper mech?

The first enemy I encounter strategically will kill me. I understand it when I see the map.
"Short-range" maps still have a number of viable sniper positions and long-range map still have viable cover. Learn where it is and use it to your advantage. In case of Viridian Bog, the 3-line and 7-line both contain several sniper perches long range combatants use frequently in T1 matches.

What am I supposed to do on this map with short-range weapons? What can I do from this distance with two XAC20s? Can you tell me?
This is completely nonsense.
Learning to not expose your mech to enemy fire more than necessary would be a good start, On your screenshot, you're staring at multiple opponents who are well outside of your optimal range and can fire at your mech with relative impunity - and you're way out in the open, eating incoming missiles the whole time.
What you should be doing is stick close to your team, conserve your armor and wait for the engagement to close into a range that's advantageous for you. You've failed to do two of these things, that's a skill issue you can improve on.
