Drow Ranger Counters (7.41e)
Who counters Drow Ranger in Dota 2 7.41e? The heroes Drow Ranger beats and loses to, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Drow Ranger is a positional ranged carry whose Marksmanship and Multishot melt anything at range — as long as nobody reaches her. She dominates immobile heroes she can kite forever: Timbersaw, Tinker and Gyrocopter can't close the gap. Drow is hard-countered by gap-closers and illusions that turn off her passive: Spectre Haunts onto her and out-scales, Wraith King walks her down, and Phantom Lancer overwhelms with illusions. Draft tip: Drow shines behind a defensive front line into low-mobility drafts; never pick her into Spectre, Phantom Lancer, or a Storm/Spirit Breaker dive comp without a save.
In Dota 2 7.41e, the heroes that counter Drow Ranger hardest are Sniper, Lycan and Wraith King — Drow Ranger wins only 37.7%, 38.7% and 39.3% of ranked matches against them.
