Ivy Counters
Who counters Ivy in Deadlock? Heroes Ivy is strong against and heroes it struggles against, ranked by win rate over recent matches.
Grabbing a teammate and flying them into position lets Ivy dictate fights against heroes who need setup time. Sinclair, Mina, and Venator all want space and a clean line to work with, and Ivy denies that by relocating the fight or peeling her carry out before their damage lands. The trouble comes against Seven, Victor, and Graves, who punish exposed movement and out-trade in a straight lane duel. When Ivy is out in the open lifting someone, those three make her pay. Draft tip: pick Ivy when your team has a fragile damage dealer to escort, and avoid her into heavy lane bullies.
Ivy wins 53.88% of matches overall (#6 of 38 heroes) since the Matchmaking Update. Its most favorable matchup is Venator at 59.06%; Graves is the toughest counter, holding Ivy to 47.45%.
