Outworld Destroyer counters & matchups
Outworld Destroyer is an intelligence carry whose Arcane Orb deals huge int-based damage, Astral Imprisonment banishes and steals int, and Sanity's Eclipse nukes based on mana gaps. He dominates immobile, low-mana heroes: Timbersaw (59.1%), Morphling (55.3%) and Elder Titan (54.7%) get orbed down. OD is hard-countered by mana burn and illusions: Nyx Assassin (41.4%) burns his mana and reflects, Phantom Lancer (42.7%) out-bodies him, and Wraith King (42.9%) / Spectre (43.3%) out-tank/scale. Draft tip: OD is a strong lane bully and int-burst carry into squishy drafts; he's hard-countered by Nyx, illusions, and mana-burn line-ups.

Outworld Destroyer synergies
Outworld Destroyer brings a banish-save (Astral), a huge mana pool, and AoE int-nuke — he wants lockdown to land Sanity's Eclipse and a front line to fire behind. He pairs best with push/summon and durable cores: Chen (54.3%) gives him the early tempo he lacks, while Spectre (54.2%) and Night Stalker (53.7%) provide the carry threat and lock. Give OD a team that holds enemies for his Eclipse and his int-burst erases the backline.
