Last thing- he is countered hard by stuns and burst damage. I think leshrac with a Eul's is pretty good, bc he can just sit there. Lion is good, earth shaker, etc.
I like the guide! I have one piece of criticism though, if you don't mind. The bloodseeker is a bit outdated. Blood rite is good for rune control. Also, his thirst scales much better to 25% now instead of 0%. Another thing to note is that I generally go yasha basher on him, which kind of ruins the tp. He also is not a solo ganker- he ganks lanes to catch someone out with blood rite and rupture. I think that the counter is there, but it's not always a good idea to man fight him unless you are ruptured. Also, his lane presence is very mean with blood rage. He can have incredible sustain. I believe he is going to be picked up a lot at ti5
No. This is wrong. Sniper is, hands down, pretty weak on his own. But if he got a team that can protect him he can be extremly wrong and his late game damage can be absurd (sry Sven).
And how is a Pudge countered by a Blade Mail? Or Ursa with his ult?
Pls think about what you write before posting it.
Edit: I feel like this seems like I want to provoke you. I don't.
But things are rarely as they seem
RANT TIME!
I feel this is an appropriate guide to rant about Sniper. He is, hands down, the worst hero in this game. What counters a Sniper? Everything really. I have a hard time thinking where this hero could be good, but all i can think of is his kill stealing potential. Also, at the time of this writing, Sniper is the most played hero this month, beating out even Pudge! I shudder whenever this hero is picked on my team, and laugh maniacally when he is picked on the other team. Free food.
Whew. Sorry, I had to get that out.
EDIT: Blade Mail destroys every hero on this list.
How to kill slark:
He will always try to stay away from sight, then just buy a ****ton oof wards and place them in the common ward spots, buy dust if he goes shadowblade, try to not 2v1 him becuase he has a really good zoning ability (so unless you are playing tiny you are fu**ed).
Dont let you and your team mates feed him, always go in a group of two or try always to have a nice escape/stun/disarm

Can you update it to the current meta? Things like including Troll Warlord, Juggernaut and Axe
For stuff regarding current meta heroes it's in this thread :

Feel free to post there. This could possibly make another guide but not right now.
