Gyrocopter counters & matchups

Gyrocopter is an AoE carry whose Flak Cannon hits everything around him, with Rocket Barrage and Call Down for burst. He shreds clumped, immobile heroes: Elder Titan (54.8%), Timbersaw (54.4%) and Tinker (50.9%) melt to Flak. Gyro is hard-countered by tanks and scalers who out-last his mid-game: Spectre (39.4%) out-scales and reflects, Wraith King (39.6%) out-tanks, and Tidehunter (40.1%) / Lifestealer (40.5%) survive his AoE. Draft tip: Gyrocopter is a devastating teamfight carry into clumped drafts; he's weaker into spread-out, tanky hard-carries (Spectre, WK) that out-scale his Flak window.

Gyrocopter synergies

Gyrocopter's Flak Cannon punishes grouped enemies — he wants AoE setup that clumps and locks them in his radius. He pairs best with clump-and-push cores: Chen (51.9%) and Lycan (51.6%) push with him so he Flaks structures and defenders, while Dark Seer (51.3%) Vacuums the enemy into Flak range. Give Gyro a hero that groups the enemy and his Flak + Call Down erases teamfights.
