About this page

Hero Counters

Choose a hero to explore opponents and items associated with matches against that hero. The page combines matchup results with item statistics; use it to investigate possibilities, not to treat a purchase as a guaranteed counter.

Read the matchup list

The selected hero appears above the Weak Against list. Each opponent is shown with a match count and a percentage. Check the number of matches alongside the result: a matchup with fewer games offers less context than one with a larger sample. The page does not explain the direction of the displayed matchup percentage here, so avoid assuming which side it measures.

Read counter-item data

Recommended Counter Items show an item, matches, average purchase time, a win rate against the selected hero and the difference in percentage points from that item’s overall win rate. The displayed list is described as Normal mode, all ranks, ordered by win-rate uplift. A negative difference can appear even in this list, so read the value instead of assuming every result is positive. Item choice and match outcomes are associated, not proof that an item caused a win.

Open an item to inspect it, or use item statistics for the wider catalog. The hero directory and synergies page provide broader hero and teammate context.

Example: the Abrams snapshot

The October 31 snapshot opened on Abrams. Guardian Ward was listed with 203,267 matches, an average buy time of 12:44, 50.2% against the hero and −0.2 percentage points against its overall win rate. The difference is measured in percentage points, not a 0.2% relative change. Other entries had different sample sizes and timings, so compare all of those fields rather than reading the order as an unconditional recommendation.

The Weak Against section listed ten opponents in that snapshot; Graves appeared with 74,901 matches and 43.8%. Because the page does not explain whose win rate that percentage represents in its visible text, verify the methodology before interpreting its direction. Counts and rankings can change when the source updates.
