Mirage Counters & Counter Picks
Who counters Mirage in Deadlock? Heroes Mirage is strong against and heroes it struggles against, ranked by win rate over recent matches.
Squishy, position-dependent heroes give Mirage the openings he wants. Sinclair, Mina, and Shiv all rely on holding an angle or committing to a channel, and Mirage punishes that by tagging them and forcing them out of position before they can finish what they started. Where he suffers is against durable, self-sufficient bruisers who don't care about a little chip. Seven, Victor, and Graves can trade back through his harass, out-sustain his poke, and close the gap once he's spent his tools. Draft tip: pick Mirage into a fragile backline you can pick apart, and avoid him when the enemy fields tanky frontliners who ignore harass.
Mirage wins 43.54% of matches overall (#44 of 44 heroes) since the Halloween 2026 Update. Its most favorable matchup is Shiv at 49.22%; Graves is the toughest counter, holding Mirage to 36.44%.
