Windranger (WR, Lyralei) in Dota 2 7.41: win rate, pick rate, the heroes Windranger counters and struggles against, and its best teammates — from recent ranked matches by Batru's AI win-prediction pipeline.
Windranger is a versatile pickoff core whose Shackleshot roots a hero against a target, Powershot nukes from range, and Focus Fire unloads massive attack speed on a single hero or tower. She's strong into immobile heroes her Shackle pins: Timbersaw (55.5%), Gyrocopter (53.3%) and Chen (52.8%) get locked and bursted. Windranger is countered by tanks and scalers a single Shackle can't finish: Spectre (40.5%), Wraith King (41.7%) and Axe (41.9%) out-tank/scale, while Tidehunter (43.2%) out-fights. Draft tip: Windranger is a strong pickoff and tower-melt core/support into squishy drafts; she's weaker into tanky hard-carries and AoE-teamfight line-ups.

Windranger's Shackleshot is a reliable lockdown and her Focus Fire melts a key target or tower — she's a pickoff and siege threat. She pairs best with burst and durable cores: Spectre (53.3%) and Wraith King (52.5%) finish whoever she Shackles, while Tidehunter (51.1%) locks the enemy for her Focus Fire. Give Windranger a follow-up carry and her Shackle-into-Focus-Fire removes a hero or tower on demand.
