Zeus Counter Picks — 7.41f
Who counters Zeus in Dota 2 7.41f? Counter picks and matchups for Zeus, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Zeus is a global magic-nuke mid with Lightning Bolt, Arc Lightning, and a map-wide Thundergod's Wrath that snipes low-HP heroes anywhere. He shreds immobile, low-magic-resist heroes: Timbersaw, Gyrocopter and Nature's Prophet melt to his spam. Zeus is countered by gap-closers and magic-immunity that punish his zero escape: Meepo and Spectre walk him down, Lifestealer Rages through his nukes, and Visage out-trades. Draft tip: Zeus is a free-damage pick into low-mobility, magic-vulnerable line-ups; never leave him without peel into a Spirit Breaker/Storm/Riki dive comp.
In Dota 2 7.41f, the heroes that counter Zeus hardest are Wraith King, Meepo and Visage — Zeus wins only 43.2%, 44.4% and 46.1% of ranked matches against them.
