How Crystal Maiden and Sniper perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Crystal Maiden and Sniper win 53.08% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 122,046 matches.
Pushing out lanes and taking towers becomes much more straightforward with this pair. Sniper gets to constantly use Shrapnel to accelerate his farm and pressure objectives, a strategy normally limited by his mana pool. Crystal Maiden's Arcane Aura solves that problem completely, letting him play at a much higher tempo from the very start. In fights, her roots and slows are perfect for holding enemies in place while Sniper unloads from a safe distance. Freezing Field also creates a massive threat zone, forcing opponents to either abandon their dive on Sniper or get torn apart while dealing with his support.
