Dazzle Counter Picks — 7.41f
Who counters Dazzle in Dota 2 7.41f? Counter picks and matchups for Dazzle, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Dazzle is a save-and-poke support whose Shallow Grave makes an ally un-killable for a few seconds, while Shadow Wave heals and Bad Juju shreds armor. He's strong into immobile heroes his poke wears down: Mars, Timbersaw and Nature's Prophet lose the attrition fight. Dazzle is countered by burst that beats Grave's timer or out-trades him: Spectre out-scales, Axe and Tidehunter out-fight, and Riki ambushes him. Draft tip: Dazzle is a premier save support into burst-and-dive drafts; he's weaker into sustained-damage hard-carries that out-last Shallow Grave.
In Dota 2 7.41f, the heroes that counter Dazzle hardest are Ancient Apparition, Riki and Outworld Destroyer — Dazzle wins only 46.8%, 46.8% and 47.2% of ranked matches against them.
