Grimstroke Counters (7.41e)
Who counters Grimstroke in Dota 2 7.41e? The heroes Grimstroke beats and loses to, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Grimstroke is a burst-and-control support whose Soulbind chains two enemies together, Ink Swell sets up stuns, and Phantom's Embrace silences and damages. He's strong into immobile, clumpable heroes: Timbersaw, Mars and Nature's Prophet get bound and bursted. Grimstroke is countered by spread-out scalers and illusions: Spectre out-scales, while Lycan, Bloodseeker and Naga Siren bring too much pressure for his single-target lock. Draft tip: Grimstroke is a high-burst lockdown support into grouped, squishy drafts; he's weaker into spread-out and illusion line-ups.
In Dota 2 7.41e, the heroes that counter Grimstroke hardest are Lycan, Pugna and Bounty Hunter — Grimstroke wins only 41.1%, 41.5% and 42.7% of ranked matches against them.
