How to counter Anti-Mage

Great, powerful carry hero. He has the ultimate ability, which can destroy the entire enemy team. Anti-Mage reveals its potential in the late stage of the game, becomes a killing machine. He has an excellent escape, Blink, which is also used to initiate the battle. If you leave Anti-Mage with the free farm, he very quickly earns gold for items. Therefore, you need to understand how to counter the Anti-Mage and which counter picks of the Anti-Mage are best to choose.

Like all characters, it has its weaknesses that must be used if you want to win.

The character is very dependent on items. Therefore it is necessary to disturb him as much as possible at the beginning of the game so that he does not have the opportunity to receive gold and farm for these items. Since the hero is weak in the beginning, without objects, he needs to be killed as often as possible so that the opponent loses the initiative.

Counter picks of Anti-Mage

Counter pick Anti-Mage – Axe

Berserker’s Call and Counterhelix will do real damage. In the initial stages, this will take a lot of health.

The ultimate ability quickly destroys the opponent. It works through resistance to magic.

Counter pick Anti-Mage – Bloodseeker

Ultimate ability forces you to stand still and Blood Rite can be used where the enemy used Blink. This will give us a good advantage, as additional damage will be caused, and silence will be activated. In any case, the opponent will lose enough health so that you would receive a bonus from a passive ability.

Counter pick Anti-Mage – Faceless Void
