Most Dota matchups are shaped in the lane and during the draft. A counter here means one hero holds a statistical edge over another across many games, not that the lane is unwinnable; itemization, lane assignments, and player skill often matter more. The list is most useful during drafting and when deciding lanes, and for knowing which matchups you will need to play carefully.

Matchup win rates change with each patch. The figures update as new matches are recorded, so a hero that was recently reworked may need a few days of games before its numbers settle.
