McGinnis Counters

Set up a turret nest with walls near an objective and heroes who need to hold still to threaten you fall apart. Sinclair, Mina, and Shiv all want to fight on their own terms, and McGinnis denies that by locking down space and forcing them to eat sustained turret fire while they push in. The trouble comes against mobile, burst-heavy pressure. Seven, Victor, and Graves can either blow up the turrets from range, out-position the setup, or dive past the wall and punish McGinnis while she's rooted defending it. Draft tip: pick McGinnis to anchor a choke or objective, avoid her into rosters full of dive and long-range poke.

McGinnis wins 54.06% of matches overall (#4 of 38 heroes) since the Matchmaking Update. Its most favorable matchup is Sinclair at 60.55%; Seven is the toughest counter, holding McGinnis to 47.47%.
