DoTA2 B-reel Playlist: I played Sniper like an Intelligence hero, focused on Snipe ultimate.

Well focusing on the ultimate of sniper rather than his DPS can be interesting in the right match. It surely can be countered BUT by then you can also counter counter by going back to DPS focus. I say I played him like an intelligence hero because I got universal mana regen and intelligence items first. Namely Khanda and Bloodthorn. Early game Snipe focus was fun and it worked here to shift the mid away from slugging it out directly with Drow mid and provide support to my team. There when you need it without moving. Good for an initiate or chase as well once you get scepter for the stun. I wish more intelligence "supports" got Bloodthorn as I find it very "supportive" to team to give them truestrike & +60 magical damage & +60% damage for 5s on one target. Intelligence=shot caller with this.
