Drow Ranger counters & matchups
Drow Ranger is a positional ranged carry whose Marksmanship and Multishot melt anything at range — as long as nobody reaches her. She dominates immobile heroes she can kite forever: Timbersaw (56.0%), Tinker (55.1%) and Gyrocopter (55.0%) can't close the gap. Drow is hard-countered by gap-closers and illusions that turn off her passive: Spectre (40.4%) Haunts onto her and out-scales, Wraith King (42.6%) walks her down, and Phantom Lancer (44.6%) overwhelms with illusions. Draft tip: Drow shines behind a defensive front line into low-mobility drafts; never pick her into Spectre, Phantom Lancer, or a Storm/Spirit Breaker dive comp without a save.

Drow Ranger synergies
Drow Ranger needs space and a peel/initiation shell to stand behind. She pairs best with auras and front-line control: Vengeful Spirit (53.9%) stacks negative armor with Drow's aura for absurd physical damage and provides a swap save, while Wraith King (53.7%) and Spectre (53.2%) give her the front line to shoot from. Io (52.8%) is a strong pocket pairing — Relocate and Tether keep the fragile archer alive and in position. Give Drow a team that holds the line and she deletes it from the back.
