Laning Early

PLAY SAFE ! Till LvL 6.

Start with x2, x1 and x1

Go mid lane, and dont auto attack. Only last hit and deny. When is lvl 2 (so you are lvl 3), you can begin to harass' your ennemy. But do it carrefully or wait for your lvl 3 (at your lvl 5). If your ennemy is melee hero, it will be more easy.
Learn to last hit. You dont do a lot of damage in early game. Always be at max range, specially against caster heros. Deny as much you can. Learn to it too!

When your goes on, go on and finish to harass' your ennemy as much as you can and when you think it's ok, assassinate him for your first kill.

After that go back to your base, buy boots of speeds, and , and TP on an other lane (top or down). Try to make kills. Thinks to use your for take the kill (practice it before to judge your ultimate DPS).

Go to the river and check the runes. Go back to your lane and farm.

Repeat your harass' and try a second kill, then go back to the base and TP on lane for extra kill.

Mid game

When you have your , you will become insane. More when you finish your . Try to be on most of teamfight.

Be sure to use your for make the last hit on ennemy. ANTICIPATE IT FOR MAKE THE KILL!! Take care of your placement. Dont start the fight, let your team make the engage. Then support your teammate, and be aware for last hit the ennemys. Your cooldown is only 16 secondes. So if you have mana (and if you respect to not upgrade (and dont use) , u will have a ton!) you can start the fight by using on a melee ennemy hero. Dont use it on ranged, because they are often far aways from your normal fight position.

In a fight, if you see that you are focuss : BACK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE OUT OF THE FIGHT. You are more usefull alive! So back when you are focuss, and if the ennemy let you alone, go back to the fight for support your teammate.

When an ennemy is backing (and its safe for you to follow him), you must hit, run, and hit, and run, and hit again, and run again, etc... If you have a very good attack speed just hit and finish him with your when he go back. If its a melee and he come on you, think to use your as well. It have a huge damage (usually more than just normal hits).

Think to active your when fighting.

Think to farm a bit!

Late Game

Do the same that mid game. Use for escape of gang bang on you. Then go back and use for make the kill.

Use first when you have a safe teamfight (for you :p). Then for espace ganking.

At this time of the game, normally, you are insane, and your do all the last it in the fight you are.

If you have all your items, let the kills for your teammate! ;)

Most of the games finish at score : 15/2/15 or things like that.

I prefer a lothars in mid game

I don't like the glass cannon nature of your build. MoM on is a surefire way to get derped on throughout mid and late game. Getting Shadow Blade first provides you with damage and additional survivability, and is much more important than MoM in my opinion.

I dont see lothars fitting in late game, and the MoM is going to make you even squishier. If your going to get a lothars get it early. i dont suggest MoM at all, helm of dominator is fine

I prefer no life steal at all. Your not picking sniper to tank and stay in the fight. You pick sniper when your team has numerous tanks or instigators that will be focused while you destroy them with your range and mini stuns. That is what makes Shadow Blade so great because it gives you that damage which is great and also survivability and something no one said was 'positioning'. We all know that real snipers hide in the best possible area of the battle field and pick off their targets one by one in till there is a threat, which means they need to get out of the there. Why should Dota be any different? That is why I think Shadow Blade is the best early item possible because it does wonders both early and late game.

In competitive games, sniper is played much like drow ranger. Usually you build treads and then either Manta or Dominator (the order in which you buy depends on the situation). After that comes BKB and Butterfly.

Mask? Why the hell do you need any life steal? O.O You shouldn't be taking much damage to begin with, if you are just get solid HP so you can get out of there. Your problem isn't lasting through the fight, it is being able to do a lot of damage while at a safe range without taking much damage. As is the case with any ranged carry.
