So, I was playing as mid sniper facing gyro. The early laning phase is kinda bad because I always got zoned out by flak cannon and didn't harass the gyro much. Around 5-6 minutes gyro went missing so I report it via chat wheel. The bot lane got wrecked really hard by this gyro despite my miss report. Then this PL start to blaming me the whole game, saying I should tp bot and help PL and centa. So my question is should I tp bot and help them? Because they constantly getting ganked down there.

The other thing is, when PL got ganked he always blamed me for not helping him (I was quite close from where he was and only used sharpnel then went back). I thought as a carry without any item I shouldn't get into any fight early and sniper was a very squishy hero against that kind of lineup,in my opinion. I rarely play as a carry heroes . Was my decision wrong?

if gyro goes bottom alone then there is no way he should have gotten double kill easily, that is entirely PL and centaurs fault. especially if you called out that gyro is missing.

and no you shouldn't go ganking as a sniper, it is NOT the mid's job to gank sidelanes, some heroes can do it early, but a lot are just there to farm or get a core item like blink.
you cant do anything as a sniper to stop them killing your team, try to stay confident find some kills if you can, and keep up the farm while trying to pressure whoever is laning against you.

sniper is a farming hero try not to fight until you are relatively certain you can win with him.

had a ranked game where we were getting rekt for like 30 minutes but they were mainly focusing on rotations into our jungle and top lane (they hated enigma for some reason lol) and the score was 21-9.

they just left sniper mid to farm. didnt even gank him once. for 30 minutes. i kept telling him to not to come to fights just stay and farm only tp in if they threaten our tier 2's and i will keep vision for him up on mid lane. placed wards up either side of the tower and sentries and sacrificed my self twice to keep him alive when he went into our jungle. 32 minutes in they try and take our tier 1 mid. he gets a rampage. push mid and finish rax. then 10 minutes later finish game. easiest +25 of my lyfe.


if you were playing a QoP or another ganking mid then i would have said rotate more. but playing a sniper mid is all about maximising farm and xp for him. you stay mid and farm until they cant fight you.

mid = farm for core item.

The other support or offlaner should have rotated, but you needed the farm. Idk how a gyro gets a double kill on a PL and Centaur though.

Thanks for the answer. I rarely play as mid carry so I thought i made a mistake for farming too long in the lane. Btw gyro got double kill because 4 heroes rotated to bottom lane.
