Counter Tips

How to beat Sniper

Gap close with a Blink and a stun, since Sniper dies instantly when caught in melee.

Pick global damage like Spectre or Nature's Prophet to pressure him across the map.

Approach from off vision with smoke or invisibility, since he relies on seeing you come.

Break his position before fights by forcing high ground, where Sniper is helpless.

Buy initiation items early and dive him in fights, since he cannot trade close range.
