How to counter MirageHow to counter

Counter heroes, counter items and the window to fight

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

Their combo: Mirage teleports in with Traveler, drains you with Fire Scarabs (lifesteal, and you deal less damage), and stacks Djinn’s Mark with his shots: every mark doubles its damage, up to 4.

When to fight: Traveler has a 2s wait, and any damage during it cancels the teleport. Shoot him while he waits.

Beware: Don’t let Djinn’s Mark stack up on you; break off before the third or fourth mark.
