Mini Thrown-Weapon Rogue Rant

Why the heck does rogue have so many feats that benefit a thrown weapon play style? It's so much less reliable to sneak attack with ranged weapons, which is annoying. I wouldn't even be upset about this if it wasn't for the fact that Ricochet Feint, which lets you feint with a thrown weapon, is a freakin level 12 feat!!

So if you wanted to do a thrown weapon focused rogue you'd just have to deal with chucking sneak attack-less thrown weapons before level 12? It's just so bizarre to me. XD

And yeah. I know teamwork exists and all, but I'm not gonna expect my team's fighter to grapple a dude every round just so I can sneak attack with a freakin throwing knife 20 feet away. Lmao.

EDIT: It has come to my attention that Confabulator and Dread Striker exist as pretty early leveled feats. They do actually seem to solve a lot of the anti-reliabilty gripes I had with trying to get ranged sneak attacks. Thank you guys for the input so far. :0
