Even against a AC 17 GWM wins out assuming a +3/+4 ability mod and a +3/+4 proficiency bonus for the first two tiers.And 17+ is already on the high end, reserved for heavily armored foes. ACs of 15 or lower are much more common in the first two tiers of AL, going as deep as AC11. Just yesteday I played an AL T2 adventure for average party level 8 who consisted almost completely of fighting AC 11-13 opponents, there was one monster who had an AC 16 and two with an AC 18 in the entire combats.Having played almost all T2 mods and most of T1 mods from S1&S2, the AC18+ opponent with plate (or chain & shield) or even plate and shield is thankfully not the common foe (although there is one where you primarily fight city guards who have those armor classes, this module thends to have the fights drag a little)Anyway, +2 to hit from archery style makes sharpshooter even worse than GWM, except for barbarians attacking simply  at advantage every time they don't explicitly have disadvantage (rage or not) makes it outdamage every barbarian build who does not have it (and AL's 4h adventures rarely make a level 6+ barbarian not having a rage for every fight.) Theoretically yes, but even with dice rolling machines it's next to impossible to always replicate exact the same roles, there are just to many minor aspects of the input you can't controll, even if you get the force and angle of the throw mechanically right every time.</blockquote>
