Invoker Counters (7.41f)
Who counters Invoker in Dota 2 7.41f? The heroes Invoker beats and loses to, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Invoker is a spell-slinging mid whose ten-spell arsenal — Sun Strike, Tornado-EMP, Chaos Meteor, Cataclysm — can nuke from anywhere and control whole fights. He's strong into immobile heroes his combos catch: Timbersaw, Tinker and Nature's Prophet get comboed down. Invoker is countered by spell-immunity and divers who punish his squishy frame: Lifestealer Rages through his nukes, while Meepo, Riki and Wraith King reach or out-tank him. Draft tip: Invoker is a high-skill teamfight nuker into low-mobility drafts; he's weaker into magic-immune (Lifestealer) and hard-dive line-ups.
In Dota 2 7.41f, the heroes that counter Invoker hardest are Wraith King, Riki and Broodmother — Invoker wins only 44.9%, 44.9% and 45.0% of ranked matches against them.
Why these counters work
- Wraith King — Wraith King asks Invoker to spend two full spell rotations for one kill — reincarnation resets the fight right as Invoker's cooldowns run out.
- Riki — Smoke Screen's silence inside a fight shuts the entire spellbook, and permanent invisibility means Sun Strike and Cold Snap rarely find their target first.
- Phantom Lancer — Late game the illusion swarm devalues Invoker's single-target picks and body-blocks his escapes; there are simply more Lancers than there are Sun Strikes.
- Lifestealer — Rage walks straight through Tornado, Cold Snap and EMP — the entire control layer Invoker's damage depends on — and Feast chews through whatever HP remains.
