How to counter Anti-Mage

In lane

  • Strong laners, 6 in this group
    • Most of the time, the lane is automatically lost if he faces heroes that are good in lane with a lot of stats/damage.

In game

  • • He can roam the map with multiple Meepos and lock him down forever with Earthbind.
  • • Berserker's Call + Blade Mail almost always kills Anti-Mage considering he has very low health. • Counter Helix is pure damage and pure damage is very good against Anti-Mage.
  • • Slardar is entirely physical damage and enables his allies' physical damage with Corrosive Haze. • Corrosive Haze maintains vision over Anti-Mage if he uses Blink.
  • • Duel + Blade Mail or another hero almost always kills Anti-Mage. • Counterspell does not do anything versus Duel.
  • • Crippling Fear is a great ability to stop him from Blinking away. • Night Stalker has bonus night vision and is a great hunter when Anti-Mage likes to play the map and farm jungle.

Items

  • Scythe of Vyse
    • Instant disables like this item are the best against Anti-Mage considering it is impossible to Counterspell an instant cast from the fog.
  • Orchid Malevolence
    • The silence of this item can catch him off-guard and ruin his game if he has not completed Manta Style yet.
