Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Sniper wins the Sniper vs Zeus matchup: Sniper beats Zeus in 51.67% of 4,523 ranked matches.
Standing way back seems safe against a hero like Zeus, but it's often a false sense of security. While Sniper can certainly control the lane with his attack range, Zeus doesn't need to get close to do his job. Every spell he casts in a fight will chip away at Sniper's low health pool because of Static Field. More critically, Thundergod's Wrath hits you no matter where you're positioned, revealing you and often finishing you off if you're already hurt. Zeus can also use Lightning Bolt to get vision on high ground, making it incredibly difficult for Sniper to find a safe perch to contribute from. He makes the map feel much smaller.
