Largo vs Witch Doctor

How this matchup plays

Trying to dive the backline and eliminate Witch Doctor first is a common mistake that plays directly into his hands. This hero's entire game plan revolves around baiting enemies to over-commit, creating messy, drawn-out fights where his value ramps up over time. An opponent like Largo, who often needs a quick and decisive engagement to be effective, finds his primary objective completely at odds with Witch Doctor's ideal scenario. This clash in preferred fight tempo is also why they tend to feel awkward together on the same team; they’re always trying to execute conflicting plans.

This dynamic becomes a serious problem for Largo across the game. Early on, attempting a gank is risky because Witch Doctor is almost always positioned safely near his allies. Later, in full five-on-five engagements, committing to kill Witch Doctor is a massive investment. By the time Largo fights his way to the back, he's often isolated and has burned key resources, allowing Witch Doctor's team to turn and clean up. The alternative is to ignore him, but that lets a very disruptive hero operate freely from the backline, which is usually a losing trade.
