The 30 Most Played DOTA Heroes… and Their Counters

24. Crystal Maiden
Oh yes, she is indeed as cold as ice. She’s willing to sacrifice your love, but she won’t stop there! She’ll sacrifice your life, your brother’s life, your cousin’s life – you’re whole friggin’ team. Good thing her pace is constantly set to “glacial.” And for being so cold, she’s still hella squishy.
Hero counters: when playing against CM, we find Spectre, Pugna, Warden, and Zeus to be effective carries. For utility/supports, we tend to combat her with Undying, Batrider, Tusk, and Pudge.
Item counters: get in close and show her a new world of pain. Blink Dagger, Shadow Blade/Silver Edge, Eul’s and close the gap. She’s like a cannon made of glass. Very dangerous, but fragile. Zap her with Dagon and move on with your life.
