Witch Doctor Counters (7.41)
Who counters Witch Doctor in Dota 2 7.41? Heroes Witch Doctor is strong against and heroes it struggles against, ranked by win rate over ranked matches.
Witch Doctor is a high-damage support whose Maledict ticks for huge burst on wounded heroes and whose Death Ward melts a clustered team. He's strong into immobile, squishy heroes his combo deletes: Timbersaw (59.8%), Tinker (58.4%) and Gyrocopter (57.2%) die to Maledict + Ward. Witch Doctor is countered by tanks and mobile divers that survive or interrupt him: Wraith King (45.7%) and Medusa (47.6%) out-tank the burst, while Riki (46.9%) and Night Stalker (47.7%) reach his fragile body. Draft tip: WD is a premium burst support into squishy, low-mobility drafts; protect his channel into dive comps or it gets cut short.
