How to counter Sven

A great hero who can deal massive damage. He is farming fast with good passive ability Cleave. He has excellent skills that make him a killing machine. And if the team has a competent player for the support hero, then Sven will be able to finish the game in up to 30 minutes. Therefore, it is essential to understand how to counter Sven. First of all, you need to choose a counter pick to Sven well, so that you can resist him at all stages of the game. Sven’s counter-peak should consist of a support hero who has the right disables and good carry.

But still, the strategies for countering Sven are quite simple, not allowing him to mine gold. The character is reliable, but only with the presence of additional items like Blink Dagger and Black King Bar reveal its potential. If you increase the time for which the enemy will buy these items, then you will increase your chances of winning.

Counter pick Sven

Counter pick Sven – Lion

Probably one of the best characters who can resist Sven. He has two disables in his arsenal, which will significantly complicate the life of the opponent both at the beginning of the game, and will provide many inconveniences when initiating in the late game. He will interfere very much due to his third skill, which will deprive the enemy of mana.

Counter pick Sven – Sniper

Well restrains the enemy and does not give him a chance to get close. It also interferes well with him on the line, which makes it difficult for the enemy to mine gold. The later the opponent buys the necessary items, the weaker he will be. This will give you a significant advantage throughout the game.

Counter pick Sven – Razor

Due to Static Link, Razor steals all the damage from the enemy. And with the stolen damage quickly kills the enemy. Unstable Current will do decent damage in a radius, even if the character is immobilized or Sven uses Storm Hammer on it. And when using the ultimate ability, it will be hard to get close to the hero at all.

Counter pick Sven – Tinker

The laser is simply an excellent ability to stop Sven, since he will always have misses. Also, since Tinker’s skills do a lot of damage, you can quickly kill an opponent before he buying Black King Bar. Then you have to wait while he uses BKB and only then initiates when your opponent will helpless.

Counter pick Sven – Windranger

The most primitive choice. Due to Shackleshot and ultimate ability, she quickly kills the enemy. If something goes wrong, she can quickly get away with Windrun. In the initial stages of the game, Windranger will cause very unpleasant damage with Powershot.
