How this matchup plays

Controlling the map often comes down to which of these heroes gets the better start. If Storm Spirit hits his item timings, he can use Ball Lightning to find and kill Sniper from anywhere, completely shutting down his farm and creating space. This forces Sniper to play defensively and gives Storm's team free rein. On the other hand, if Sniper can secure an early advantage, he can build items to survive the initial jump and punish Storm's aggression from a safe distance. This particular matchup hasn't been common lately, so a lot depends on individual performance.
