Which ranged hero is best for beginners?

[george]

After spamming a lot of easier melee heroes, I want to try to play some ranged heroes too, but I don't know where to start. These are the heroes I have got in mind however:
1. Sniper
2. Gyrocopter
3. Drow Ranger
4.Wind Ranger

Which one of these do you think will be easier to start with? Also which among these will be better in a late game hard carry role?

drow ranger is not for beginners.

sniper is not a carry hero as the items you need to get for him are plenty.

sniper's build

1) boots (power treads"strength or agility")

2) manta style or silver edge or drum of endurance

3) vlad's offering

4) desolator or eye of skadi (better than chain lightning item and stacks with vlad's offering)
mask of madness, satanic don't stack with desolator

5) butterfly

6) moon shard (this is optional)

I see drow ranger in almost every game I play however, and I'm level 8

i have seen drow rangers in my game from time to time and even though they are good, but it is not meant for beginners.

you need to be very skilled when using drow ranger.

have you ever used drow ranger before????? if never, then practice drow ranger by playing with bots first.

Well last time I checked, sniper was a carry.

you should try viper hes q is an attack mod like drows but it dameges and slows hes e is a passive that makes you deal more damege to low health units so it makes last hiting ez hes w slows anyone who attacks you making you pretty tanky and hes ult is a huge slow/damege over time he farming is ez on him hes tanky AF and only really has one active skill

they are all not easy. But I think drow ranger is the hardest and let me tell you that windranger should only be played mid. She sucks as support and in the offlane.

I stop reading there lol.

Tthere is not many "carrys" range, drow is quite in the meta, but u need to learn basic first. Most of the range INT are not for beginers so if u want to fry some try with the agi ones coz STR are only 2 one support/offlaner and husk who u to learn a few thinks before play him.

PS : Viperi s the ez one but isnot a carry. U mby can snowball but that alls.

i don't play sniper as carry since he can never be a full carry hero.

the items i get for him are

1) desolator

2) vlad's offering

3) power treads (strength or agility)

4) drum of endurance (this is temporary as i replace it in late game)

5) manta style (2 images with the main one shooting together is worth it)

6) silver edge (this is for attack speed and can use it to run away)

7) butterfly (this is only if the game goes to very late game)

8) satanic (if you get this, don't get desolator or mjollnir as it doesn't stack)

9) eye of skadi (i'm very sure no one will go for this item but i'm just putting it here)

10) mkb (if you want to stun, this item is the best item over cranium basher since cranium basher is better suited for melee heroes over range heroes)

Those look like carry items to me mate. What do you call him if not a carry? A support?

How can you not call that playing as a carry ... ?

What are your thoughts on gyrocopter? How does he feel to play, and does he scale well into mid-late game?

He's good, but I wouldn't say he's a beginners hero
