Why would side lanes expect you to gank as soon as you reach 6, why would not other heroes gank sniper?
-Viper
-Invoker
-Magnus
etc.
Templar Assasin will give sniper a really hard time mid, considering that she can just kill him with ease. When you hit lvl 6, you simple place a trap mid and melds strike him, and sniper = a dead sniper. This game shows how you can have sniper as a feed bitch

I still lost because of that fucking bullshit rat lycan hero...
EDIT: You should also be able to win the lane early because of psi-blades and refraction.
I think what Benao said is the most accurate lol. You should be able to win against sniper with most of the conventional solo mid heroes
All sniper can do is harass, so if you have a hero that's good against that you're set. Timbersaw and Viper automatically win the lane (don't forget to get the skin level 1/2 on viper, and Armor level 1/2 on Timber.) I don't see how he can beat Bane in lane if he has his damage reduced by 30 AND has to deal with the occasional Brain Sap.
Its very rare for mid snipers to ever put skill points into Shrapnel, but I think that might be wrong currently. Getting vision uphill (while you have a passive that gives you truestrike 40% of the time, making uphill attacks good) or in trees when enemy is juking into a patch is a unique advantage that threatens to make sniper a viable mid. Still prefer the guy in safe lane, but there's things to think about.

i already know gank. . so what's other advice aside from gank.
which mid lane heroes can give sniper a hard time lv1-5, assuming no ganking and all side laners expect you to gank side lanes when u reach lv6.
