Weaver counters & matchups
Weaver is an elusive carry whose Shukuchi invisibility, The Swarm armor-shred bugs, and Time Lapse rewind let him harass and escape almost any gank. He's strong into immobile, low-detection heroes: Timbersaw, Shadow Demon and Tinker can't pin him down. Weaver is countered by detection, lockdown, and break: Riki out-trades in the invisibility war, Wraith King out-tanks, and Legion Commander or Phantom Lancer duel or out-body him. Draft tip: Weaver is a slippery snowball carry into low-detection, squishy drafts; he's countered by sentries, hard-lockdown (LC), and tanky hard-carries.

Weaver synergies
Weaver harasses and picks off with The Swarm's armor shred and his near-untouchable mobility — he wants a team that punishes the targets he softens. He pairs best with snowball and durable cores: Spectre and Wraith King finish whoever his bugs chunk, while Tidehunter locks the enemy for his focused fire. Give Weaver a follow-up team and his constant harassment plus armor shred wear the enemy down.
