Magnus Counter Picks — 7.41f
Who counters Magnus in Dota 2 7.41f? Counter picks and matchups for Magnus, ranked by win rate from 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, Tinker and Nature's Prophet get RP'd and deleted. Magnus is countered by BKB-reliant scalers and sustain who survive his combo: Wraith King and Spectre out-tank or out-scale, while Tidehunter and Phoenix 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.
In Dota 2 7.41f, the heroes that counter Magnus hardest are Wraith King, Juggernaut and Spectre — Magnus wins only 42.5%, 45.3% and 45.9% of ranked matches against them.
