Range is insane!! An updated guide for the most basic hero of dota - Sniper! 6.86

By the term "kiting," I assume that you come from LOL. The power of Sniper comes not from running away from people, but from staying off the minimap, not dying due to godlike positioning, and then staying back in fights until you know that you can plink away at them from that range. Be paranoid. With a lot of farm and a team to protect him, against a team that can't close the gap very quickly, he is unstoppable. If any of those things are untrue, Sniper becomes a piece of wet toilet paper torn by a brisk wind. Or even worse, a lowly ranged creep doomed to travel from base down a lane until he dies and gives the opposing team money, only to spawn again and repeat the process.

Shadow Blade is not an "escape item." If used as such it is an item that costs nearly 3000 gold, which is hard and directly countered by an item that comes in a pack of two for 180 gold. It is worthless as such.
