Death Prophet Counters (7.41e)
Who counters Death Prophet in Dota 2 7.41e? The heroes Death Prophet beats and loses to, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Death Prophet is a tempo pusher whose Exorcism unleashes a swarm of spirits that shred heroes and towers, backed by Crypt Swarm nuke and Silence. She's strong into immobile, low-clear heroes her spirits melt: Timbersaw, Tinker and Mars get pushed off the map. Death Prophet is countered by scalers and sustain that out-last her Exorcism windows: Spectre out-scales, Wraith King out-tanks, and Vengeful Spirit or Undying punish her squishy frame. Draft tip: Death Prophet is a strong mid-game tower-pusher into low-clear drafts; she fades into late-game hard-carries that survive her Exorcism timings.
In Dota 2 7.41e, the heroes that counter Death Prophet hardest are Chaos Knight, Troll Warlord and Nyx Assassin — Death Prophet wins only 41.7%, 42.6% and 44.1% of ranked matches against them.
