How this matchup plays

Controlling the map is difficult when Sniper is able to hit his item timings much earlier than Medusa. He uses that early advantage to secure objectives while she is forced to jungle and avoid fights. In lane, his superior attack range makes it dangerous for her to approach the creep wave. Later on, Sniper can comfortably chip away at her Mana Shield from a safe distance, well outside the effective radius of Stone Gaze. If Medusa's mana finally breaks, an Assassinate from downtown often finishes the job, preventing her from escaping or re-engaging.
