    here's a gameplan
    boots-javelin(headshot lvl 2 or 1,sharpnel max take aim max)-mael then go dragon lance(you'll probably deal tons of damage with this)
    boots-blightstone-medal-sb(sharpnel lv 2,headshot max takeaim max aim supports)

    mark offlane always since you want pos 4,try steal enemy courier mid
    go -armor build if enemy is low armor cores and support like mk/cm/invo mid etc
    if not javelin first item is gonna be good
    you should be able to trade effectively at lvl 1 with headshot+boots since your ms is like 999 and pretty much unkillable
    if enemy like has 99 stuns on the lane you should pull creeps at :47/17 so they lasthit on tower,and you+offlaner get a freefarm(u have boots so its really easy to do this)
    at lvl 2 or 3 something you should run to mid,zone enemy mid with your sharpnel and rightclicks/just waste their regen abit
    should've won two lanes now(or at least,your offlane),necrobook might be good for farming since your cd redu talent but its not gonna be that good on fighting since you going to get it late as a support

        I watched your last game as support sniper and I have some thoughts on your support play in general. You don't seem to have a solid grasp on how to support properly, instead treating the role as a gimped version of a core that spends all their money on wards.

        You did this once 3:17 but you should be doing it as often as possible. When the creep equilibrium pushes you should do a sidepull to deny the next wave of creeps while the enemy is busy getting last hits under their tower. You can force this with Shrapnel. For the offlane these occur at X:17 and X:47. If you have a clever teammate that is creep blocking then you can do this at X:54 and also get a stack off at the same time to guarantee a full deny on the wave. Altenatively just stack the camp at X:54 then pull at X:17 or X:47. Denying xp is super crucial for the first 10 minutes of the game, a great support should benchmark their denies in much the same way a core benchmarks their last hits. This has the added benefit of providing your core with a safer place to farm closer to your tower.

        If the enemy is pushing your tower (for example, at 21:20) then hide in the trees. Your positioning is too far back and directly in the middle of the lane, in full view of the enemy. It's common to want to stay as far away from the fight as possible to ensure you don't get picked off, but your positioning prevents you from helping your Zeus, Riki and Enchantress in the following team fight. You need to be safe but as close to the action as you can. Otherwise your cores may get initiated on and die, and then you won't be able to defend the tower. As a support you can only defend a tower with the help of your cores. You need them as much as they need you. Don't just auto attack creeps while they get picked off nearby.

        You should rotate to help the top tower once your core has won the lane. This serves two purposes: it gives one of your cores an xp advantage (they won't have to split it with you) and helps stabilize your safelane core's xp (the enemy can't deny creeps if they have to contend with your harass). Your safelane turned into a big dumpster fire, and you could have prevented that. In fact, as the only support on your team it's kind of your job to do so. Just glancing up at the top lane or looking at the minimap and opening your scoreboard is enough to notice that the Medusa is jungling at lvl 2 while your Riki fails to farm properly.

        Don't buy Orb of Venom on sniper. Just ... don't. Buy a Wind Lace instead.

        You should be more considerate with your warding. Use your Helm or Necrobook creeps to scout the high ground before going on a Warding Adventure® or you might feed the enemy.

          I have to train more those pulling, positioning, micro and ofc rotate play. Im still in learning phase of sniper itself and I was stupid not to train it in bot games as I usually do when I want to learn something

          ok I take windlace to list
