Weaver Counters (7.41f)
Who counters Weaver in Dota 2 7.41f? The heroes Weaver beats and loses to, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Weaver is an elusive carry whose Shukuchi invisibility, The Swarm armor-shred bugs, and Time Lapse rewind let him harass and escape almost any gank. He's strong into immobile, low-detection heroes: Timbersaw, Shadow Demon and Tinker can't pin him down. Weaver is countered by detection, lockdown, and break: Riki out-trades in the invisibility war, Wraith King out-tanks, and Legion Commander or Phantom Lancer duel or out-body him. Draft tip: Weaver is a slippery snowball carry into low-detection, squishy drafts; he's countered by sentries, hard-lockdown (LC), and tanky hard-carries.
In Dota 2 7.41f, the heroes that counter Weaver hardest are Wraith King, Phantom Lancer and Riki — Weaver wins only 41.8%, 42.1% and 42.8% of ranked matches against them.
Why these counters work
- Wraith King — Weaver wins by surviving long fights — but Wraith King IS the long fight, with lifesteal sustain and a second life that outlasts Time Lapse's five-second rewind.
- Phantom Lancer — Weaver kills one hero at a time; Phantom Lancer multiplies faster than that. His swarm of bodies also crowds the lanes Shukuchi wants to slip through.
- Riki — Smoke Screen's silence blocks both Shukuchi and Time Lapse — the escape and the undo button — inside one cloud, and the miss chance blunts Geminate trades.
- Shadow Shaman — Instant Hex cancels Shukuchi and forbids Time Lapse; against a hero whose whole defense is pressing a button in time, unavoidable point-and-click disable is decisive.
