Best lane mates
These partners work well with this hero. Percentages show recorded match win rates for each pairing, not lane wins.
- 01DynamoKinetic Pulse knocks them up, and Singularity holds them still so you can finish the person who cannot move.53.4%
- 02McGinnisPower pairAlso an opponentTurrets add damage around the area McGinnis defends, and Spectral Wall can restrict enemy routes. Fight where the setup supports you while keeping a route around the wall for your own retreat.56.8%
- 03SevenPower pairAlso an opponentSeven can send Lightning Ball through contested ground and use Static Charge to threaten a delayed stun. Focus the marked enemy when safe, while staying ready for them to move away from the ball.57.7%
- 04KelvinPower pairAlso an opponentKelvin’s beam slows enemies and reduces their fire rate, making a shared target easier to pressure. Stay where his healing can help without grouping so tightly that one disable catches both players.55%
- 05PaigePower pairPlot Armor can protect you before you take damage, while Captivating Read restricts enemies who stay in its marked area. Attack while supported, but leave when the barrier breaks and the return damage becomes unsafe.55.6%
Worst lane opponents
These opponents present different threats in lane. Percentages show this hero’s recorded match win rate against each opponent, not lane wins.
- 01SevenSoft counterAlso a strong mateGo around Lightning Ball and separate from a teammate marked by Static Charge before its stun. Use solid cover against Storm Cloud, or interrupt Seven from safety while he is vulnerable to control.46.3%
- 02VictorHard counterFight from outside Aura of Suffering when possible. Use cover if Victor releases a charged Pain Battery. When Shocking Reanimation triggers, leave the return blast’s area and keep damage ready for after he reanimates.46.3%
- 03KelvinHard counterAlso a strong mateKelvin can slow Drifter after he appears and protect an ally with Frozen Shelter. Choose a target your team can still reach rather than relying on one isolated attack.46.5%
- 04McGinnisSoft counterAlso a strong mateClear turrets covering the route you need. If Spectral Wall blocks that route, break it with melee when safe or go around. Avoid trading shots while several turrets can hit you.47.3%
- 05GravesSoft counterClear the Jar of Dead summons or last-hit from the side. Do not walk through Grasping Hands to take one soul.46.8%
