Sniper + Windranger

Why this works

Landing a good Shackleshot provides an easy target for Sniper, but the synergy often ends there. Both heroes typically want to play a similar role from the back lines, dealing damage from a safe distance. The problem is that neither one is great at creating the space the other needs. A team with both Windranger and Sniper can find itself without a durable frontliner or a reliable way to start a fight. They have plenty of damage, but getting to use it safely depends heavily on the rest of the draft and the enemy's ability to close distance.

This lineup feels fragile throughout the game. Early on, both heroes are susceptible to ganks, and they don't offer much to save each other beyond a conditional stun or a slow. In later teamfights, the plan relies on kiting perfectly. If the enemy team has strong initiation and can get on top of either hero, the fight is often lost before it begins. While the duo can certainly pump out a lot of damage if left alone, they struggle to create those situations for themselves and tend to amplify each other's weakness to being jumped on.
