Viper Counters (7.41)
Who counters Viper in Dota 2 7.41? Heroes Viper is strong against and heroes it struggles against, ranked by win rate over ranked matches.
Viper is an anti-carry lane bully whose Poison Attack slows movement and attack speed, Corrosive Skin tanks magic, and Viper Strike cripples a target. He hard-counters attack-reliant and sustain heroes: Huskar (57.3%) loses to the attack-speed and heal reduction, while Gyrocopter (56.2%), Timbersaw (56.0%) and Templar Assassin (55.2%) get out-traded. Viper is countered by illusions and scalers his single Strike can't handle: Phantom Lancer (41.9%) and Naga Siren (44.1%) out-body him, while Spectre (44.7%) and Wraith King (44.7%) out-scale/tank. Draft tip: Viper is a brutal anti-carry/anti-Huskar lane and pickoff core into physical drafts; he's weaker into illusion comps and late-scaling hard-carries.
