Brewmaster Counters (7.41e)

Brewmaster is a teamfight offlaner whose Primal Split unleashes three spell-immune elementals — a disable, a tank, and a damage dealer — making him nearly unkillable mid-fight. He's strong into immobile casters who can't deal with the Split: Tinker, Timbersaw and Mars fold to his elementals. Brewmaster is countered by early aggression and disable that beat him before Split: Chen out-pushes early, while Naga Siren, Oracle and Dark Seer neutralize his fight. Draft tip: Brewmaster is a top-tier teamfight pick into low-mobility drafts; he's weaker into early-push (Chen) and his Split is undercut by clever saves/control.

In Dota 2 7.41e, the heroes that counter Brewmaster hardest are Phantom Lancer, Legion Commander and Lifestealer — Brewmaster wins only 40.4%, 41.6% and 42.4% of ranked matches against them.
