No.Early shrapnel has a very good DPS and the slow wil ensue some more hits dealt onto your target.Headshot is just too random.

36 DPS is insane in an early game gank.

I'd rather delay one level of headshot instead of one level of take aim for shrapnell (but probably not getting it at all, because one level doesn't cut it). But you said it's optional, so alright.

Early Orb of Venom for ranged heroes.... very questionable. 4% slow isn't much. It is something, but I doubt that you have the inventory slot and have the freedom to get stuff you don't need early on. Because a Salve and a TP or something probably is more useful.

not sure if trolling o_o

rule 1 pick sniper be prepared to die alot
the playstyle of sniper isn't to take on enemies 1 on 1 hence the low hp, this hero isn't designed to fight alone and is best used when you are playing with teammates that distract them.

the only way to play sniper is to sit behind people and auto fire.
