why does everyone hate sniper?

[Dragonite]

im a really new player and i have taken a liking to sniper. i have been practicing with him in bot matches and i was going to play my first normal match with him, but i came here and saw a few threads where people were just cursing out those who picked sniper. why is he so hated and should i just learn a new hero if people hate teaming up with him?

[Hwanwok]

I'm not bad but the hero dies ALOT FASTER and easy counter... in pubs there is some bad or good snipers out there but reason why i call him a worst hero because he has no escape mek, his headshot passive is to the slow part and not stun feast (This what makes him a good hero in the game) and the shrapnel building damage nerf and its bad and now valve is making the hero to pick everyone off now and...

hes just not the pick for me and hes just a bad hero unless they make him back to normal but sorry to say for you newbies out in dota... you will die alot! plus his model is ugly unlike CM's arcana and Windrunner

back in the days: Good hero.
This future: Worst....

I hate sniper for a few resons. I hate his character model, and I hate his voice. Gamewise I don't have much of an issue with except for his new q abily.

People don't like him because he's a pubstomper. That usually means he's quite good against people who make no real effort to counter him. He can stand outside of the team fight and do quite a bit of damage. You have to put a little bit of extra effort to make sure he isn't a problem.

On the other side of it, if you do put that effort into the counter, sniper is very squishy. He ends up being easy food and will throw the game for you. He gets a lot of hate from both ends because of this.

Also one last thing, he is a bit of a low skill requirement hero with 2 passives, a place anywhere AoE dmg/slow and a high dmg low cooldown ult you can use from completely out of harms way.

I can help you adjust to teh game if you are having trouble. Also sniper is hated because people, in low tiers, have problems going against him. Those problems are usually easily solvable but to some people it's easier to complain than to figure out the solutions.

if you could do that, it would really be appreciated, as i have no friends that are knowledgeable in dota 2.

cause its 1-key-hero, as a rule noobs pick sniper.

Only bad players hate him. Just learn every hero - including the ones people consider 'no skill'

remember, every hero is play by professionals, people who say 'noob hero' are noobs themselves...

I faced a Sniper before since an hour ago. Yeah. Some people always called this hero for noobs just to blame it's "OP" issues. I'm sure there are some veteran players find ways to gank Sniper without being seen. It's a really tough to beat it especially in the hands of an experienced player who played Sniper.

When you are strucked by an enemy Sniper, checking the map is the only way to track it down for encounters. A Rambo in the jungle. Hehe...

cause most of hater came from CS:GO and they think you can kill every enemy 365` non-scope.
