Venomancer Counters (7.41e)
Who counters Venomancer in Dota 2 7.41e? The heroes Venomancer beats and loses to, ranked by win rate from 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, Timbersaw and Mars get poisoned down. Venomancer is countered by illusions and burst that beat his ticking damage: Phantom Lancer drowns his single target in clones, while Spectre, Legion Commander and Slark 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.
