Earthshaker (ES) Counter Picks — 7.41f
Who counters Earthshaker (ES) in Dota 2 7.41f? Counter picks and matchups for Earthshaker, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Earthshaker is a Blink-initiation support whose Echo Slam can swing a fight from one button — the more clumped or summon-heavy the enemy, the harder it hits. He's strongest into illusion/summon drafts and immobile heroes: Broodmother, Timbersaw and Tinker all feed his Echo or get Fissured to death. He struggles into spread-out scalers and tanks: Spectre and Wraith King don't clump and out-last his combo, while Lifestealer shrugs off the magic burst. Draft tip: Earthshaker is a blowout pick into melee/summon line-ups; he's lower-impact into spread-out, magic-resistant hard-carry drafts.
In Dota 2 7.41f, the heroes that counter Earthshaker hardest are Wraith King, Dragon Knight and Night Stalker — Earthshaker wins only 45.9%, 46.8% and 47.0% of ranked matches against them.
