How to counter Magnus

In lane

In game

  • • Glimpse makes sure that Magnus can never Skewer away from a bad situation. • Magnus cannot initiate with Blink Dagger if there is a Static Storm in the middle of the fight. • Magnus cannot Skewer out of Kinetic Field or Kinetic Fence. • Electromagnetic Repulsion can potentially mess up his combos.
  • • Reverse Polarity is a good ability to Spell Steal. • Rubick can use Telekinesis to catch Magnus instantly, whether he is trying to Skewer away or Skewer an enemy.
  • • Magnus likes to wait for the fight to develop before jumping in with Reverse Polarity, potentially catching a few enemy heroes. Spectre can use Haunt to instantly reveal him and stop him from using Blink Dagger.
