Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Sniper wins the Drow Ranger vs Sniper matchup: Sniper beats Drow Ranger in 56.03% of 98,041 ranked matches.
Picking one of these backliners against the other means betting on your team's ability to control space. Sniper tends to have the upper hand because his attack range from Take Aim is simply longer. He can comfortably chip away at Drow Ranger from a distance where she can't fight back, forcing her to rely on her team to create an opening. A well-timed Assassinate can also secure a kill on Drow before she can get away. However, the fight isn't completely one-sided. If Drow Ranger's team can successfully close the gap, her Gust can shut Sniper down, letting her high physical damage finish the job quickly.
