How Sniper and Weaver perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Sniper and Weaver win 47.71% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 45,762 matches.
Facing down a Sniper and a Weaver is certainly annoying. Both heroes poke from the edges of a fight, chipping away at health bars with physical damage. Weaver's Swarm can even reduce armor, which makes Sniper's attacks hit harder. The core problem, however, is that both of them want to play the exact same game. They're fragile, item-dependent cores that need someone else to create space and hold enemies in place. Neither provides the lockdown or frontline presence that the other desperately needs to survive and deal damage safely.
This similarity often creates a draft that's brittle. The team composition can end up lacking a durable initiator or strong teamfight control. If the enemy draft has good gap-close, they can easily jump on either Sniper or Weaver, and the other has few tools to help them escape. The game plan relies heavily on kiting perfectly and hoping the enemy can't get on top of you, because once they do, the whole strategy tends to fall apart quickly.
