Sniper Synergies (7.41)

Best heroes to pair with Sniper in Dota 2 7.41, 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 (56.5%) and Wraith King (55.7%) hold the line so Sniper free-fires, while Vengeful Spirit (55.2%) provides a swap-save plus negative-armor amp, and Shadow Shaman (54.5%) locks divers down. Riki (54.3%) screens enemies off him. Give Sniper a peel-heavy shell and he melts teams untouched.
