Ember Spirit Counters (7.41e)
Who counters Ember Spirit in Dota 2 7.41e? The heroes Ember Spirit beats and loses to, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Ember Spirit is a slippery magic-carry whose Sleight of Fist harasses risk-free, Flame Guard blocks magic, and Fire Remnant gives him absurd mobility. He's strong into immobile, low-pressure heroes: Timbersaw, Mars and Nature's Prophet can't catch his remnant dashes. Ember is countered by heroes that punish his dives or out-scale: Slark and Lone Druid out-carry him, while Meepo and Tidehunter lock him down. Draft tip: Ember Spirit is a high-tempo skirmisher into squishy drafts; he's weaker into hard-lockdown and late-game carries that survive his burst windows.
In Dota 2 7.41e, the heroes that counter Ember Spirit hardest are Viper, Slark and Dazzle — Ember Spirit wins only 39.3%, 40.2% and 40.3% of ranked matches against them.
