Lash Counters
Who counters Lash in Deadlock? Heroes Lash is strong against and heroes it struggles against, ranked by win rate over recent matches.
Grabbing squishy backliners is where Lash shines, and his Death Slam repositions targets like Sinclair, Mina, and Venator right out of their comfort zone before they can set up. Those heroes want distance and control, and Lash collapses that space fast. Trouble comes against Seven, Victor, and Graves, who all bring reliable damage output and self-sustain that punishes Lash when he dives in and lands short. If they can survive the initial slam, they turn the fight around while he waits on cooldowns. Draft tip: pick Lash into fragile, position-dependent lineups and avoid him against durable brawlers who out-trade you after the engage.
Lash wins 51.81% of matches overall (#11 of 38 heroes) since the Matchmaking Update. Its most favorable matchup is Mirage at 57.97%; Victor is the toughest counter, holding Lash to 45.31%.
