1k support sniper build? in General Discussion
MuLLi

    Hi guys im going to try support sniper for next 100 games in low mmr games but I doesnt have ever played sniper as support so if someone can help my and suggest good build for it TY

    Dude.. HaveALife

      Go hand of Midas if you are support ... As you can be extremely usefull late game ... Don't pick against inv heroes and slark

      MuLLi

        Ok I do Hand. Any other items? Do I need boots in begining or just use all money to wards+salve etc?

        TheRRogue

          Pretty hard to support on him. Hr only has his q and maybe his ult to function as a supp and his q also has pretty big cooldown. Better play Sven supp if you wanna try or maybe alche too. But if you still insist,just go to a nuker supp variant by buying aghs and kaya and just blast people from downtown.

          TheRRogue

            Early game you could Max your q and atk range and just harras enemy with boot + oov.

            Dude.. HaveALife

              Never purchase boots as 1st item ... Get regen as much as possible or some stats item to trade

              MuLLi

                How slow is it :D This seems bad idea but lets try if my head can bear 100 sniper games as sup. I would love to see how win% goes.

                How about orb early?

                MuLLi

                  Aghs+kaya in first edition of build. Which boots I would buy???

                  Dude.. HaveALife

                    Buy phase + maelstrom / mask of madness + shadow blade/ force staff + situational item... And always have a salve in bag pack if you are not going MOM

                    kuci

                      meh sounds like awful idea, no stun, bad hp, bad ms, low damage without farm, how the hell you supposed to support with this shit? ck or morphling support sounds more viable atleast they got stun and have more hp and damage. but if you need my advice kaya + aghs is terrible idea, aghs change the ult to physical damage based on your attack damage and since you're support sniper that's a straight up bad choice.

                      I suggest, oov + branch + 2 wards + cour + tango >>> oov, urn, phase boots, helm of dominator (use useful creep like root or stun or purge) >>> oov, spirit vessel, phase boots, hotd, eul/blink/glimmer (depend), then just maybe something like straight hex for late game, i suggest it with drow strat and you should end the game either stomp 20 minute in the game or drag it to 2 hour long game

                      kuci

                        but pls this is terrible idea

                        Dude.. HaveALife

                          @deranked shrub- we archons can not use dominator like u think ... I don't know how the hell people plays with Chen

                          Professor Dog

                            aghs will turn ur ult from a nuke to a crit so unless you have damage items, you're going to end up reducing its damage output, also the kaya will not amp the ult if you have aghs.

                            MuLLi

                              Ok ty I remove aghs+kaya and try Deranked Shrub way first.

                              Im pretty sure it will be disaster :D But hey it have long range so might work in laning

                              Atha

                                tranquil + urn -> vessel + forcestaff + eul + glimmer
                                Sniper abilities wont be useful for saving team or disabling enemies, but still can give vision (through juking enemies) and massive damage with sharpnel and assasinate

                                MuLLi

                                  I need to do many guides for this sup sniper. So much tips TY all. I do one guide with Comfy Camp style too

                                  MuLLi

                                    Any prediction how I will perform W%

                                      Mascot Sniper build with treads, drums, mek, vlads

                                      Peekaboo

                                        sniper's a trash tier support, however if you're happy getting reported and ruining alot of games.

                                        Tranq- urn - Necro 3 -> force -> vessle -> blink -> hex
                                        Cd reductions + shrapnel talents.

                                        Push lanes with your book.

                                        Stack 500 jungle camps and farm them with your shrapnel.

                                            Necro is good support and good mid game hero

                                            MuLLi

                                              Necronomicon not necro :D I go sniper all the way in solo games :D

                                                  MuLLi

                                                          It wasn't very effective

                                                          MuLLi

                                                            yeah after 3 games I feel like this is shit support

                                                            edit. atleast last game we won our lane so there is hope in sniper as sup :D

                                                              something like vlad and atos/agh/crest would be more fitting and fun imo

                                                                Yeah there was wish from team I turn it carry so mjölnir+sata was last items.

                                                                slouch

                                                                  i like your plan keep it up!

                                                                  PERFECT TOAST

                                                                    Why bother? Just play an actual support. Whatever you're trying to do with him, there are other supports who do it much better. The hero is literally just made to be a carry.

                                                                    Cheesy Wenis

                                                                      Ring of Aquila then start building Drums. After Drums build either Vlads or Helm of the Dominator. Learn how to micro the creep, and don't feed it. You don't even need to send the creep to attack stuff, just get anything with an aura and right click it to yourself or your carry. Be sure to turn off the forced attack on right click in your options. After the Helm build your Necronomicon. Don't forget to make Glimmer, Urn, or Force Staff if you are losing badly or the enemy has a problematic hero that can be countered by it.

                                                                      Game should be over by the time you finish Necronomicon 3. If it isn't then build regular core items like Hurricane, Mjoll, etc.

                                                                      这回复被编辑过

                                                                        Why I bother to play sup sniper? I doesnt really care about solo mmr of this account and sniper sup might be good way to learn positioning.

                                                                        MuLLi

                                                                          Guide will be edited to new versions and current version idea copied from "Good news everyone, I"

                                                                          edit. Feel free to use this awesome guide to win games

                                                                          这回复被编辑过

                                                                            Since I already played some support sniper back in the day when snipers 'Q' was instant and had no delay here are my tips:
                                                                            - don't ever go for aghs on support sniper
                                                                            - euls is also a waste of money in mho so better go for drums (hp, hpregen and ms/atkspeed for u AND your allies)
                                                                            - early game oov can be good but the slow is just meh on range supports
                                                                            - don't go full retard on the 4 0 4 build... i think 2 points in your range is enough and early headshot is really good for harassing in your lane
                                                                            - I like the idea of dominator but since i can't micro that shit I have never tried it and I went for atos in my games (holds mobile enemies in place)
                                                                            - try to avoid playing against heroes that can easily get to you (invis heroes (riki, bounty, slark, clinkz, weaver), fast heroes (brood, bseeker, void, spirit breaker, night stalker, ench, maybe even slardar/naix))
                                                                            - if the enemies have good slows go for force (u can save yourself or your teammates), when they get to u easily or have heavy nukes go for glimmer
                                                                            - another good item for u and your team is a medallion (can be a solar crest later in the game)

                                                                            So all in all if u want to play sniper as a pos 5 support u have to be wary that u will have no farm and play the ward b*tch so go for small items and not the heavy stuff like necronomicon/sheepstick and shit like this... u won't get the gold for these things.
                                                                            Also u don't wanna waste all your 3 shrapnel charges at level 1 or 2...it's mediocre dmg so wait for level 3 and have 2 points in your shrapnel for better harassment and not waiting for new charges all game long.
                                                                            Your talent tree should be like this:
                                                                            10 cd, 15 dmg, 20 cast time and if u ever get to level 25 i think you should transition to a semi core role (mealstrom, lesser/bigger crit maybe) and u can decide what talent u go depending on what your team needs (u doing dmg in the back -> range; more slows/more aoe dmg -> shrapnel charges).
                                                                            Since noone expects a sniper support in your games u should capitalize on that and harass the shit out of your lane with every small item u can get... people won't know what to do and u have the surprise moment on your side.
                                                                            In teamfights u should try and cut off one or two enemies with good shrapnel placement and the other enemies will have a hard time to help their mates. Else you should cut the retreat off so noone gets out alive *evil laugh*

                                                                                              Feachairu

                                                                                                you need to go boots first item always,very good to outplay opponents and going in out lanes to go mid
                                                                                                basically you really want to win 2 lanes if using retarded heroes as a support(mid must win)

                                                                                                unless you are going invo sp
