Warlock Counters (7.41e)
Who counters Warlock in Dota 2 7.41e? The heroes Warlock beats and loses to, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Warlock is a teamfight support whose Fatal Bonds links enemies to share damage, Upheaval is a ramping AoE slow, and Chaotic Offering summons a massive Golem that stuns and tanks. He's strong into clumped, immobile heroes his Bonds and Golem punish: Tinker, Timbersaw and Mars get bonded and crushed. Warlock is countered by spread-out heroes and burst that beat his slow setup: Tidehunter brings competing AoE, while Phoenix, Spectre and Dawnbreaker out-fight his clumped value. Draft tip: Warlock is a premier AoE-teamfight support into grouped drafts; he's weaker into spread-out and burst-heavy line-ups.
In Dota 2 7.41e, the heroes that counter Warlock hardest are Largo, Outworld Destroyer and Riki — Warlock wins only 43.7%, 43.8% and 44.1% of ranked matches against them.
