The thing about laning is Sniper can do well pretty much anywhere, although I wouldn't go with this build in a safelane position, you can though cause I really don't care. However if you are offlane you definitely want the Take Aim maxed out asap, mid you can go either way, and safelane is probably where Headshot will be most effective maxed first. This build focuses on Blink Dagger so mid will probably be best so you can gank other lanes with efficiency, but then again, other lanes can gank which a lot of people seem to forget. Especially offlaners, see also, Bounty Hunter and Clockwerk . Just remember, you are a delicate midget man and need to play safe, and also flame you teammates until you have wards.

Early Levels

• He can do close to nothing levels 1-2, maybe even 3
• His base damage is low, so you can out last hit & out deny him
• You may be able to first blood him if you control the creep wave well and force him down into the river -- depends on your hero though

Sniper whole deal is that he is basically a glass cannon (obviously). Getting cheap items that that allow you to close the gap or surprise ganks are the way to go. Blink is the obvious choice, but if you are having trouble saving up cashmoney to blow on it, Force Staff is a decent alternative. Using Smoke ganks to go behind him and he cant escape are good (dont forget your dust!).

Sniper mid is actually a pretty legit thing if you plan on playing a farming mid like Shadow Fiend or Morphling. Headshot + Take Aim makes him a bitch to lane against, and if he goes Soul Ring build he can push you out of your lane and get your tower pretty quickly as well.
