Hoodwink Counters (7.41f)
Who counters Hoodwink in Dota 2 7.41f? The heroes Hoodwink beats and loses to, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Hoodwink is a slippery nuker/sniper whose Bushwhack roots against trees, Scurry grants tree-walk evasion, and Sharpshooter delivers a long-range execute. She's strong into immobile heroes she can root and snipe: Timbersaw, Nature's Prophet and Templar Assassin can't escape her tree control. Hoodwink is countered by tanks and gap-closers that reach her fragile frame: Wraith King, Spectre and Phantom Lancer out-body her, while Axe Calls her down. Draft tip: Hoodwink is a strong poke/pickoff support into squishy, treeline-heavy drafts; she's weaker into tanky and high-mobility dive comps.
In Dota 2 7.41f, the heroes that counter Hoodwink hardest are Wraith King, Phantom Lancer and Nyx Assassin — Hoodwink wins only 41.5%, 42.7% and 42.9% of ranked matches against them.
