TBH this one is too easy to miss, mage characters really ruin her.

CC ruin her channels for all her abilities

Burst damage and CC makes her completely useless, CC make it impossible to keep her Defense Matrix up, while CC and burst stops her from getting a mech or even securing her as a kill in pilot mode.

:thinking:

Alarak - Lucio
Artanis - Cassia
Cassia - Lunara
Diablo - Tychus
Zagara - Fenix

A lot of counters really depend on time and place, there are some heroes that are designed to be straight up duelists and others can simply choose whenever they want to go in while maintaining effectiveness at range.

Alarak - Artanis really take it to him.
Artanis - Arthas imo
Azmodan - Leoric, Jaina
Brightwing - Kael’thas her pixie dust can only effect one person baseline, people need to be pretty close to her to get healed, making flamestrike even better. Living bomb makes it very hard to use blink heal.
Daiblo - really strong right now so no real hard counter, but anyone with percentage health based damage can do a pretty good job.
Diva - Kael’thas is pretty good
Kael’thas - Stitches, Zeratul, Hammer
Kerrigan - Muradin
Kharazim - Johanna, Arthas
Muradin - Tychus
Orphea - Zeratul, Raynor
Rexxar - Zul’jin, misha is super easy free stacks.
Samuro - Kael’thas maybe
Tassadar - Raynor
Thrall - Johanna, Muradin, Arthas
Tychus - lili
Tyrande - Raynor, Falstad, Zul’jin
Xul - Raynor
Zarya - Tychus
Zeratul - Arthas, Blaze

Thanks for the input, keep it coming :slight_smile:
I updated the OP. Once there are counters to everyone, maybe we can discuss which one is the best, if there are several for one hero.

The idea was that he needs to stay stationary to channel his arm, while Chromie feasts on him while he’s stationary. Or he simply avoids using it, which reduces his effectiveness.

Another counter I can think of would be Stitches, with his hook, or Junkrat with his mine.

Anubarak

Diablo

Garrosh

Team Dignitas
oh wait…
on wait second time…

8

Gen.g had more trouble against the Leftovers than they did against Dignitas :smiley:

Anyways… how is Anub countering Abathur?

9

The biggest counter and nightmare of all supports is stupidity of their teammates.

10

u mean Team Liquid
Leftovers were bad at blizzcon
Team Liquid Dominated they also beat Gen.G in non-twich game

Anub has beetles and aba hits them with Q instead of hero and cocon makes game 3v5

11

Lunara - Lucio

What toxin again?

12

Garrosh has no counter, noob thread.

13

garrosh
from my own experience

14

Ignore armor heroes aren’t? Huh…

Guess Cassia basic attack truck slapping and ignoring his armor post 20 isnt a counter after all :thinking:

15

I wrote Zul’Jin, cuz he melts Lunara really fast, and can heal faster than her Toxin.
Hell, in the beginning I thought that Lunara should be able to beat ZJ, since her toxin can finish him off after his Taz’Dingo expires, but he destroyed me in no time, and healed up xD

But yeah, I suppose Lucio cancels Lunara’s benefits, which is a better counter.

When I play Anub’arak, I hate going up against a good Kharazim.

17

but till 20 her 4 range basic attacks will kill her 10x coz garrosh Q is 4 range

18

Dunno man it works for me.

But aside of ignore armor heroes, % damage and lowering armor really been doing some work on Garrosh

19

My favorite hero is Imper.e.uss not united states

20

I consistently lay the smackdown on chogall with Khara.

I used to facepalm and groan when I saw chogall drafted, that’s changed since I figured out Khara vs Chogall. Its funny to see Chogall constantly running away from a support ^.^
