"this strategy was never actually good, it was too risky"
"but it was very funny"
and then everyone nodded in agreement
It's not about winning it's about sending a message
No other hero can strike fear into the hearts of new players like sniper. Truly the king of pubs
3 heroes you must ban to have fun in turbos
sniper, phantom assasin and phantom lancer.

Snipin's a good job, mate! It's challengin' work, outta doors. I guarantee you'll not go hungry - 'Cause at the end of the day, long as there's two people left on the planet, someone is gonna want someone dead.
A sniper from different world with drinkable Jarate
I'm still a believer that someday we get a TF2 sniper as a Persona for Dota 2 Sniper. Hell, even his shard is now a perfect fit to swap to Jarate.
@@FahmiZFXthere’s an AWP in TF2 as well. Might as well make the skin lmao
@@FahmiZFXfitting since we have sniper's goggles in TF2 (even though nobody has it and the other 2 dota cosmetics)
Professionals have standard
The fact open ai first picks sniper is so great
OG: picks ES
AI: Nuh-uh
😂😂
Considering it mostly practiced against itself with perfect reaction time and such, it does make sense Sniper would rise (given his mostly "undodgeable" damage). Still a very funny happenstance, we pubs were definitely right all along!
Also, I thought the reason illusions weren't allowed in OpenAI's games was to nerf the AI... Did I make that up?
Inconceivable how Sniper can determine whether a bracket is low skilled or high skilled.
Makes sense when you consider how simple he is. Positioning is so vital for him.
Bro, the production and story of these videos are sooo good, there's no other like it, love the vid
I agree. I remember spamming this hero with a good friend learning the game.
Sniper's gameplay centers around capitalizing on opponents' mispositioning and lack of coordination. This tends to happen more frequently in lower-level pub matches, making him a dominant pick there. However, in the professional scene, teams are highly coordinated, and players rarely make such mistakes, which is why Sniper isn't a common choice in tournaments. Additionally, Sniper appears to be designed as an entry-level hero with straightforward mechanics, offering limited opportunities for the kind of dynamic plays that are essential in professional Dota.
What about "opponent missposition" is capital of sniper? Capital of Sniper is actually opposite - his capital is his own position. And team should have a way to protect their position from enemy initiation, this why for example sniper extra good in pair with Disruptor who is best support for sniper (Provide vision, provide counter-initiation ultimate, provide initiation glimpse, have zoning tool in from of static field)
@@erfarkrasnobay This. Sniper lives and dies depending on his own position. That's why in order to play sniper well one must be very aware of distance and position - if you know the absolute minimum distance you can dish out damage while still being able to retreat, you will be able to play sniper well. If you underestimate the distance, you will lose many opportunities to damage enemies and possibly get kills. If you overestimate it, you'll get killed in a second before being able to do any damage at all
Is there any hero where you don't have to worry about your own positioning whilst also dominating teams who have good positioning? Don't think so...
Stop trying to be so deep. No mobility scaling adc = not a professional hero. Not a wild concept
I know these videos will probably tend to favor 1s & 2s but i really am looking forward to some videos focused on the offlane! 3s and 4s need some love. I think Broodmother would be an interesting one since the threat of brood last picks has defined certain competitve metas. Enigma would also be an obvious iconic choice. Thanks for the videos Baumi. Hope the new game does well.
i would love to see an enigma video, considering he's been one of the single greatest impacts on the comp scene
Yeah would love to see a vid of a 3 next as I think thats the role that hasnt really been covered.
There are some really iconic 3s. Enigma or Tidehunter comes to mind.
These are awesome. Basically immortalizing DoTa 2
Would love to see a video on Crystal Maiden and her uncanny ability to remain viable no matter how much she's nerfed or what the META is like.
I love her, she is always remained in the middle, neither bad enough to be considered dogshit nor good enough to be considered OP
because the kit design is perfect as it is - aura mana regen, low cd aoe+slow, low cd 1 target disable, and another massive AOE slow and damage. it is super generic and fits any team.
she's the support Spectre. No matter how much nerfs she gets, she will get nerfed and win
loved the way that you made sniper being a character and stuff
Since you talked about the pub builds... I wished you talked about the time right after aghs change (2019) where sniper was mainly picked in pubs as 4. And people were rushing tranquil into Aghs. Sometimes a rod of aton in between.
I really loved Aghs Octarine Gleipnir Ethereal build, always funny
member when aghanim ult target became AOE? and your damage is count as demage. and everyone just rush aghanim and rapier
@@agusputraemassihombing6303 i had game like that ... we all gwent blade mail and trolled the sniper ... he was insta dead vs 5 blade mails :))
Yo I remember that was a fun period to be a pos 4 player lmao
just got back into dota after years. it still feels the same and its nice to have all the heroes now. back in beta it was super limited. 2011 was so long ago!
Dont do this man... go live ur life
Biggest mistake you've done. That was your chance to have a free life.
Now you've just lost the next 4 years worth of your life from spending your time with this game.
You shouldn’t have… really…
Welcome back! It's a great game nowadays, as long as you don't let it consume you.
@@intelektshualday3496 I'm on 6 acres in the country. self employed. I'm living my dream and probably someone elses. games are just to help take my mind off of the slave grind of life. overwatch has been what i have been playing but i hate myself for playing that game after greed had ow1 deleted. its not the same game. coming back to dota is refreshing and im so glad it feels the same. map is new but oh well. feels like it did in beta and thats just a huge plus for me. Chess is my all time favorite game and playing dota always gave me that chess feel. I love it. Going to try not to spend too much time playing but the competitive itch is still there. dota still scratches.
19:04 SUPPORTS LIKE WRAITH KING truly these were different times
remember when nyx and bh were carries?
I love how you weave together the story of all the tournaments together!
Coming back to suggest Lina the Slayer again. She's been a support, a mid, and a carry, sometimes all at the same time. I think she'd have a very interesting dota story.
Her sister is more interesting
Don't forget when she became a jungler with iron talon in a pro game)
@@fendysusanto876Support with ult which works very well 20% of the time... And remained as such despite so many changes. CM just can't ever get into any position which is not 5
Lina is more interesting for sure
@@konstantinriumin2657 that's means nerf cm
@@fendysusanto876Yes
There was a time that I wanted to play Sniper as a support in pubs, my idea was that I could focus on constantly harassing opponents during the laning phase with his extra range. The problem was, as you pointed out, that I'd be useless by mid- to late-game, even if I did make things a little easier for my lane partner. Even still, out of all the "right-click to win" heroes, Sniper was a little more fun for me to try out on the rare occasions I picked a carry.
i used him as support and he is my highest winrate hero at 58%, atos and blink and aganim is all you need, and since he can farm very fast using shrapnel its quite doable.
@@Delacrow_l_Chawngthudawt sawi sug
@@yatogod69 sawi lo ve tlat.. Hard support tha reuh ltk.
maaan something about your idea of every dota hero story is just so fucking legendary, and 1st time watching it live is so entertaining
Love these videos ngl, thanks for making them! Great to have a blast to the past for all these heros
Great video, Baumi.
I remember Shrapnel used to provide instant vision upon cast, but then they added some delay.
Hey Baumi.. Just a shout-out to say thanks for taking the time and putting in the hard work to make these incredibly entertaining and nostalgic vids. We appreciate you!
I haven't played dota for years but watching this reminds me of my hs and college years. Thank you.
These videos are amazing, keep it up Baumi!
This is very well made! Congrats🎉🎉🎉
found this channel recently, and im sad that this channel doesnt have more views and subs, keep up what ur doing sir, great content and naration
Thank you for making great in depth videos!
Good video about an all time favorite among the pubs!
I have a friend that always insisted in a greed support 4 sniper that rushed Aghs. Although it was very inconsistent, it had its moments to shine
another great vid, well done!
Excellent video quality,keep it up
Very well made video as always
Top quality videos. Love these
Cool vid brought back some memorys
It’s hard for me to justify to paying money for twitch subs or YT joins, but I have money on my steam and I’ve been wanting to support u in some way for this so I went ahead and bought sweet dreams Alex. I love the vibe and can’t WAIT to try it this weekend
I finished binge watching yesterday, this is like the perfect sign to actually go back to dota.
Keep on with the good work!
Sniper!!!! This was my first hero on warcraft 3 and Dota 2 as well! Love the gunner
Nice work ! 😊
Grats on launching your game. GL with sales!
These videos are awesome, cannot wait for more
Great video! 🤩
Great vid!
Appreciate the history of dota videos, helps new players understand the beauty of this game
I love these videos, thank you!
Damn I just happened to come across this video randomly. Then I was surprised to see Baumi at the end. I missed you man. Seeing Micke in this vid brings me back to the old Heroes of Newerth days. I used to watch you guys alot back then. I was never really in the Dota 2 scene,but seeing you guys transition into this game kinda make me happy for you. 🍻
I'd love one of these on my fav, Morphling. Keep up the great vids!
Great video 🎉
Great video❤
Keep them content coming
Good job🤞✌️✌️
Wow, a first time I saw such a beautiful piece of arts in the embedded advertisements, definately gonna check out your game.
Thank you for video mister
This Dota series is so good.. Keep it coming..
Randomly came across your previous vids, and when i heard the voice and was "Is this baumigames?" And it was you 🤣 love to be back to your content used to watch you a ton! Good luck at your game release
excellent story telling...
I can still hear the hoho's and the haha's as sniper slaughters everyone with infinite attack speed thanks to troll warlord's ultimate
Fun watch! Just like to point out at 50:58 the take aim active doesnt double snipers total attack range but just the range given by take aim(so 200/400/600/800).
Man I use these videos to calm down my brain and quickly fall a sleep, great work! : D
Hi. I just found your channel and find the content amazing. Next few days I will be on a binge spree to watch all your videos. Btw. I don't know what other heroes you are already/still planning to cover, but personally I would be really interested in the history of axe and/or dazzle. My personal favorite heroes. Much love
Awesome video. Hope we eventually see the story of Mortred the Phantom Assassin, maybe someday after TI 2023 just to see how broken she has been.
I love this new approach of treating the hero as a character
Same, it is really fun
This video was brilliant, Baumi!
Good video my guy 👍
Just subscribed. I want to see AXE journey. Thank you in advance. Keep it up. Nice work
These videos are so good Baumi, because they make the difference between pub games and competitive play very clear. Great strat on this one and VERY entertaining!
LOVE THESE !
great video
Man. Sniper, Techies, and Broodmother were my favorite dota2 heroes when I used to play (many) years ago. I'd love to see a brood video. I was never great at the game, but the fact that I could take some of my game knowledge from other games and implement them into a moba was amazing. All 3 just play so unique. Loved the techies video. Love this video. These heroes were the reason I put hundreds of hours into dota2 and no other moba ever got more than a few dozen hours
Took them a long time to use lothar (shadow blade) for Kardel. In Defense of the Ancient (DOTA 1) it's the first item we buy for Sniper.
this was so beautiful i almost cried
Hearing the true hero name instead of just sniper makes me smile
I hope you do for warlock and witch doctor too. Excellent video production.
Never played DOTA but love your videos
Another like here great job
magic damage sniper will always have a special place in my heart, good times....
Bro I havent watched a Dota video in 5 years but IMMEDIATELY recognized Baumi's voice. I remember watching your content a few years back. Great job on the production.
Dammit Baumi i can't join the channel but you sold me at giving this wonderful video a thumbs up!
Seeing my 3 MKBs sniper in your video made me really happy. xd
I remember when I first started playing DotA at my local lan shop, while sniper was a pain, the only rule we had was "no clinkz"
I've played 2 total Dota 2 games in my life. Yet for some reason, I've enjoyed watching all of these videos. Idk what's wrong with me but these are very compelling.
I like this new more story focused style of the videos a lot more.
Thanks
up, nice video bro
I grew up in the local internet café with dota 1 where Sniper was played with S & Y, Lothar's Edge, Buriza, Monkey and Rapier. Top it off with a Satanic and it's a wrap. Good times.
This video is a piece of art and better than most 1.5 hrs movies.
Comment to appreciate Philipp's efforts on creating this video❤️
Bro sweet dreams alex looks so calming, ilove it
I haent played this game since 2010 but these are great.
I didn't play Dota 2 since it's inception, but I surely remember Sniper being a menace when I joined, and to this day he continues to be an absolute menace when unpunished
I love these dota films
I've never played dota and I never will but im currently binging this channel because of how well these videos are made
Omg as soon as you put on facecam i realized i knew you from somewhere. Baumi Heroes of Newearth!!! Good times
there was actually a period where sniper could go mid maxing his q, building necronomicon3 with agh stun. it was actually good in pubs but never was famous. probably because people liked build more into carry. that was the moment i really liked playing sniper
ahhh.. we in SEA call it Sniper Rizpol strat. farm with necro got e blade and aghs
First time I rewinded an ad instead of skipping and then subscribed because of it
congratz on the game release! Will buy it now haha
I still main Sniper till this day, Just to keep learning about Proper Positioning on Fights and Lane
went and checked out 'sweet dreams Alex' after this video. its such a comforting vibe game
I can't wait for the Weaver video haha
Literal Baumi jumpscare. I did not touch dota for several years up until this video and I did not even realize that it was voiced by my favorite dota 2 content creator from the past. Very nice video. Thank you for bringing back memories and nostalgia.
dang, that Sweet Dreams game seemed really good, I'll be sure to check that out.
I've watched Baumi since the OG days, we chatted on stream about Germany YEARS ago hahaha. I'm surprised I remember that, wouldn't be surprised if he didn't.
Love your video, Baumi!!!! I can feel your energy and passion in creative works!!
Yooo its baumi?! I didn't know! I used to watch you as a kid when you were playing Heroes Of Newerth!
Wow baumi, never knew this was you. You've grown 🥰
