Sniper Synergies (7.41f)
Best heroes to pair with Sniper in Dota 2 7.41f, and the worst pairings, ranked by team win rate over ranked matches.
Sniper does enormous damage from max range but is the most position-dependent carry in the game — he lives or dies by his team's peel and lockdown. He pairs best with disable and front-line protection: Spectre and Wraith King hold the line so Sniper free-fires, while Vengeful Spirit provides a swap-save plus negative-armor amp, and Shadow Shaman locks divers down. Riki screens enemies off him. Give Sniper a peel-heavy shell and he melts teams untouched.
