How Sniper and Techies perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Sniper and Techies win 55.83% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,017 matches.
Drafting against this duo forces you to answer one hard question: how will you ever push high ground? Techies can litter the entire approach with Proximity Mines, creating a kill zone that's difficult to navigate safely. Any hero that stops to clear them becomes a free target for Sniper, who sits comfortably behind his tower line chipping away at their health. If an enemy carry does manage to jump on Sniper, a quick Reactive Tazer from Techies disarms them completely. This buys more than enough time for the team to turn and kill the aggressor, solidifying a defensive fortress that is incredibly costly to break.
