Magnus Counters (7.41)
Who counters Magnus in Dota 2 7.41? Heroes Magnus is strong against and heroes it struggles against, ranked by win rate over ranked matches.
Magnus is a premier initiator whose Reverse Polarity pulls and stuns an entire team into one spot, with Skewer and Empower for control and damage amp. He's strong into immobile, clumpable heroes: Timbersaw (56.5%), Tinker (54.9%) and Nature's Prophet (54.9%) get RP'd and deleted. Magnus is countered by BKB-reliant scalers and sustain who survive his combo: Wraith King (42.2%) and Spectre (42.4%) out-tank/scale, while Tidehunter (44.2%) and Phoenix (45.2%) bring competing AoE. Draft tip: Magnus is a game-winning teamfight initiator into grouped drafts; his RP is undercut by BKB, spread-out positioning, and tanky hard-carries.
