How to counter SevenHow to counter
Counter heroes, counter items and the window to fight
Heroes that do best against Seven, the items that do best when Seven is on the enemy team, and the window to fight. Each number compares a hero's (or item's) result against Seven with its usual result, relative to how everyone does against Seven, so neither a strong counter-pick nor a strong Seven skews the list.
Their combo: Seven tags you with Static Charge (it stuns you 3.5s later), starts channelling Storm Cloud so you’re stuck in it when the stun lands, then follows you as you try to run.
When to fight: Storm Cloud is a 7s channel; guides recommend a stun or silence to cancel it. Its cooldown is 205s.
Beware: When you’re marked by Static Charge, get away from teammates before it goes off. The cloud grows from 10m to 30m; leave early or get out of its line of sight.
