How to win against sniper mid?

[YARMOLENKO]

I am currently farming mmr with sniper mid and noboy yet to find a way to kill me before fights so we literally win almost any fight and so the game. What could they do to counter me? What mid hero in this meta would kill snipers mid farm game? Even though they pick heroes like slark and slardar, due to the fact that I have better farm at the point they attack me, I can also 1v1 them and win too. Do they really have to jump me at least 2-3 people to be able to kill me without no one gets killed? I ask because I also struggle when there is a sniper mid on opposing team

Easiest one to kill if you all work together. Almost all heroes can counter him

It's all about either ganking him early.

Or taking advantage of his mediocre base damage and out csing him.

In pubs, and in my bracket 2k, it's hard to jump a hero together as you can imagine. So, most of the time, that's not being the case.

Yeah but sniper can simultaneously farm the lane and jungle due to sharapnel. I usually end up having the most GPM

That because your team dont have crowd control heroes. Sniper need to stay safe and because of that he stay far behind than others. Making him vuunerable. Heroes that invi or crowd control like invoker can kill him before others looking for you.

Any carry with blink or some pa with deso.

+Shadow Fiend
He gets higher attack damage when killing creeps, meaning last hitting is easier.
His Raze abilities also allows him to flash farm creeps even if Sniper is trying to beat the last hits with Shrapnel.

Invoker is another obvious one.

In terms of actually beating Sniper mid, though, Windranger has an easier time. The second your tower starts shooting at creeps, you can bet she'll go Windrunning in, shackling you to a tree and shooting Sniper down with Focus Fire. Provided she knows what she's doing and your hero lacks escape abilities, she is a nightmare to bully out of mid if you lack damaging spells.

your opponent idiot, mid using sladar or slark vs sniper lol

and no one use shrapnell for jungle or sniper will be pushed back, because sniper early have small dmg, no escape ability, no magic, everything is pure hitter and shrapnel

I didn't mean they picked slark/slardar mid, they are kinda natural counter carries to sniper with slark's invis/move speed/shackle and slardar having multiple stuns + blink.

Sniper is a typical lower bracket hero which loses all his impact at higher ranks. Teams with vision and at least two heroes with blink dagger or other gap closers like to chase sniper down after like 15-20 min into the game.

But as said, in lower brackets a fun and successful hero.

I often win mid vs sniper with Viper...
