Skywrath Mage Counters (7.41e)
Who counters Skywrath Mage in Dota 2 7.41e? The heroes Skywrath Mage beats and loses to, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Skywrath Mage is a glass-cannon nuker whose Ancient Seal amplifies magic damage, Concussive Shot and Arcane Bolt poke, and Mystic Flare deletes a single hero. He shreds immobile, low-magic-resist heroes: Timbersaw, Tinker and Nature's Prophet get nuked down. Skywrath is countered by tanks and divers that reach his paper-thin frame: Wraith King, Spectre and Tidehunter out-tank or out-scale, while Meepo bursts him. Draft tip: Skywrath Mage is a brutal burst-and-amp support into squishy drafts; he's weaker into tanky hard-carries and hard-dive comps that punish his fragility.
In Dota 2 7.41e, the heroes that counter Skywrath Mage hardest are Wraith King, Broodmother and Undying — Skywrath Mage wins only 41.6%, 43.2% and 44.8% of ranked matches against them.
