How Mars and Sniper perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Mars and Sniper win 48.57% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,295 matches.
Picking these two together forces a difficult choice in teamfights. Mars wants to trap key enemies inside his Arena of Blood, creating a controlled fighting pit. The problem is that Sniper needs a clear line of sight from a long distance to do his job, and the walls of the Arena block his attacks completely. For Sniper to contribute, he either has to stand dangerously close or even inside the ultimate, or Mars has to cast a very awkward Arena that leaves escape routes open. This core conflict means the enemy can often use the Arena itself for cover against Sniper, turning Mars's biggest spell into a liability for the team.
