Who counters Venomancer in Dota 2 7.41? Heroes Venomancer is strong against and heroes it struggles against, ranked by win rate over ranked matches.
Venomancer is a damage-over-time support/core whose Venomous Gale, Poison Sting, and Plague Wards apply relentless poison and zone fights. He's strong into immobile, low-sustain heroes his DoT grinds: Gyrocopter (55.2%), Timbersaw (55.1%) and Mars (54.8%) get poisoned down. Venomancer is countered by illusions and burst that beat his ticking damage: Phantom Lancer (42.0%) drowns his single target in clones, while Spectre (42.9%), Legion Commander (43.2%) and Slark (43.7%) out-scale or burst him. Draft tip: Venomancer is a strong zone-control and slow support into grouped, low-sustain drafts; he's weaker into illusion comps and high-sustain hard-carries.
