How to counter IvyHow to counter

Counter heroes, counter items and the window to fight

Heroes that do best against Ivy, the items that do best when Ivy is on the enemy team, and the window to fight. Each number compares a hero's (or item's) result against Ivy with its usual result, relative to how everyone does against Ivy, so neither a strong counter-pick nor a strong Ivy skews the list.

Their combo: Ivy flies an ally into your team with Air Drop (or a bomb if she goes alone), then covers the landing with Entangling Thorns, which damage and slow you.

Beware: Air Drop’s slow and silence come from upgrades, so check her tiers. Watch the sky and don’t bunch up.
