How this matchup plays

Trying to siege high ground against a Sniper often stalls out, as he gets to sit back and chip away at your team. Earth Spirit provides a direct answer to this problem. He can use Rolling Boulder to close the distance from the fog, getting right on top of Sniper before anyone can react. From there, a kick back into his own team or a well-placed silence is usually enough to secure the kill. This constant threat forces Sniper to play much farther back than he wants to, cutting his damage and making it harder for him to contribute. While a team can play around protecting Sniper, Earth Spirit has the exact tools to break that formation.
