Counters
Contents
Bad Against...[edit]
- Phantasm dispels Ignite and makes targeting the real Chaos Knight much harder.
- Ogre Magi has single-targeted magical-only damage and disables and is less effective against Meepo's clones.
- Ogre Magi has no AoE damage or disables and has nothing to deal with Phantom Lancer's illusions.
- Doppelganger disjoints and dispels Ignite.
- Heavenly Grace reduces Fireblast stun time and dispels Ignite.
- Purification can heal damaged hero if needed.
- Fate's Edict protects from Ogre Magi's magic damage.
- Fortune's End can dispel Ignite and Bloodlust.
- False Promise can dispel Ignite and Fireblast.
Others[edit]
- Earth Spirit's useful kit of Slows, Stuns, and Silences can set up kills on Ogre Magi and the silence can stop him from using his abilities.
- Arc Warden's Tempest Double helpful for killing Ogre who doesn't have good multi-disable.
- Puck silences Ogre Magi with Waning Rift, and Phase Shift makes Puck untargetable for the duration.
- Huskar's Berserker's Blood gives Huskar magic resistance the lower health he is.
- Anti-Mage can caught Ogre Magi who has low mobility by blink and his intelligence grow and build making Mana Void does more damage.
- Passive abilities that proc on being attacked, like Counter Helix and Moment of Courage are more likely to be triggered during a Berserker's Call or a Duel if the target has the increased attack speed of Bloodlust.
- Winter Wyvern's Winter's Curse works very well against the increased attack speed from Bloodlust.
Items[edit]
- Magic resistance such as Black King Bar and Pipe of Insight reduce Ogre Magi's damage output.
- Orchid Malevolence and Hurricane Pike makes Ogre Magi completely useless.
Good against...[edit]
- Ignite has long duration damage-over-time and prevents Io from healing his Tethered ally.
- The damage block instances of Refraction can be burned down with Ignite.
- The damage block instances of Living Armor can be burned down with Ignite.
Items[edit]
- Heroes that rely on Blink Dagger will be prevented from blinking by Ignite for a long duration.
Works well with...[edit]
- Bloodlust gives Juggernaut increased attack speed and movement speed allowing him to output more damage in team-fight.
- Bloodlust increases Shadow Fiend's attack speed allowing him to output more damage in team-fight.
- Bloodlust increases Sniper's attack speed and movement speed, enabling him to farm faster and output more damage in team-fight.
- Sven's naturally high damage output gets enhanced by Bloodlust's attack speed buff.
- Warcry combined with Bloodlust gives Sven almost hasted movement speed.
- Ignite and Fireblast synergies well with Storm Hammer and makes it much harder for enemies to kite Sven.
- Bloodlust's gives Wraith King attack speed to output more damage with Mortal Strike.
- The combination of Wraithfire Blast and Ogre Magi's disables gives great chasing potential.
Others[edit]
- Lone Druid, Lifestealer.
