Sniper Counters (7.41)
Who counters Sniper in Dota 2 7.41? Heroes Sniper is strong against and heroes it struggles against, ranked by win rate over ranked matches.
Sniper is a pure-range carry/nuker who out-ranges everything with Take Aim and snipes from the backline, finishing with the global Assassinate. He's strong into immobile heroes who can't close on him: Tinker (57.7%), Gyrocopter (57.3%) and Timbersaw (56.4%) get kited to death. Sniper is hard-countered by gap-closers and invisibility that reach his fragile, escape-less frame: Spectre (39.8%) Haunts on top of him, Meepo (44.6%) blinks in, and Axe (45.5%) Calls him out of position. Draft tip: Sniper is devastating behind a strong front line into low-mobility drafts; he's a liability into any dive comp (Spectre, Riki, Storm, Spirit Breaker) without heavy peel.
