Kunkka Counters (7.41e)
Who counters Kunkka in Dota 2 7.41e? The heroes Kunkka beats and loses to, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Kunkka is a swashbuckling initiator/carry whose Torrent + X Marks the Spot + Tidebringer combo bursts and displaces, with Ghostship for a teamfight save.

Kunkka is countered by sustain and scaling that outlast his mid-game spike: Lifestealer, Spectre and Phoenix survive the burst and overtake him. Draft tip: Kunkka shines as a tempo initiator into low-mobility drafts; he falls off as a carry into Spectre/Lifestealer late-game line-ups.
