Silencer Counters (7.41f)
Who counters Silencer in Dota 2 7.41f? The heroes Silencer beats and loses to, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Silencer is an anti-caster whose Global Silence shuts down every enemy ability, Last Word punishes spellcasting, and Glaives of Wisdom steal intelligence over a game. He hard-counters spell-reliant heroes: Timbersaw, Tinker and Templar Assassin get silenced out of their entire kit. Silencer is countered by illusions and right-click carries his silence doesn't stop: Spectre, Phantom Lancer and Wraith King out-scale or out-body him, while Tidehunter brings competing AoE. Draft tip: Silencer is a premier anti-spell pick into combo/caster drafts; he's weaker into right-click illusion and hard-carry line-ups that don't care about silence.
In Dota 2 7.41f, the heroes that counter Silencer hardest are Wraith King, Phantom Lancer and Arc Warden — Silencer wins only 43.4%, 43.7% and 45.0% of ranked matches against them.
