How to counter VioletHow to counter

Counter heroes, counter items and the window to fight

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

Their combo: Violet sketches you with Still Life (it damages you while she keeps looking at you, and stuns if she finishes), then steers Living Ink’s 3 empowered shots into you.

When to fight: Still Life only stuns if she finishes the sketch while watching you. Break her line of sight to stop it, or dive her while she’s locked on.

Beware: If you’re caught in Abstract Landscape, leaving it silences and slows you. Living Ink hits on heroes reduce all her cooldowns.
