Sniper is a classic hero.

Removing it would enrage dota veterans.

Just like removing DK or Pudge. So classic.

He used to share Frost Blast with CM, but CM got hers changed.
Also on a side note, Sniper bots are now bugged, they always spam all shrapnel charges at the same time on top of eachother

That isn't a bug. It's to do with the programming, using Shrapnel when engaged and the spell is off cooldown. It's the same with Riki's Blink Strike, cast it whenever it's off cooldown, so he blows all six charges in six hits. They haven't changed the programming yet.
There are two kinds of people in the world; those who can count, and those who can't.

I doubt anybody would care if Sniper was removed.

The people who play sniper either play him maybe once or twice or they're players who never learned how the game really plays and they can only play heroes with these insane safety nets.

He could have been better.

He could have worked like an actual sniper.

Instead he has virtually no utility unless picked against very specific heroes. Even then his utility is limited. He effectively works as a killsteal machine nowadays.
