Tusk Counters (7.41e)
Who counters Tusk in Dota 2 7.41e? The heroes Tusk beats and loses to, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Tusk is an aggressive ganker whose Snowball rolls allies into a fight, Ice Shards wall off escapes, and Walrus Punch launches a target into the air for a crit. He's strong into immobile heroes his combo catches: Shadow Demon, Chen and Timbersaw get snowballed and punched. Tusk is countered by tanks and scalers a single pick can't finish: Spectre, Wraith King and Dawnbreaker out-tank or out-scale, while Phoenix out-fights. Draft tip: Tusk is a strong early-gank initiator into squishy drafts; he's weaker into tanky hard-carries and sustain line-ups that survive his Snowball-Punch combo.
In Dota 2 7.41e, the heroes that counter Tusk hardest are Marci, Pugna and Enigma — Tusk wins only 35.4%, 36.0% and 38.9% of ranked matches against them.
