Threats to Medivh with this build
Threat | Hero | Notes | |
---|---|---|---|
1 |
![]() |
Leoric | Portal out of Entomb, easy. To be noted however, using Force of Will on the target of his Drain Hope will not stop Leoric's healing since they are 2 separate effects. |
2 |
![]() |
Li-Ming | Very easy duel for Medivh if you can time your Force of Will right. Even in team fights, Li-Ming shouldn't be able to do much against Force of Will. |
2 |
![]() |
Li Li | Water Dragon is easily countered, but the Slow still applies. |
2 |
![]() |
Lt. Morales | A well placed grenade will throw you away from the Portal, but otherwise she can't do anything. |
3 |
![]() |
Abathur | Abathur can't do anything to you while Medivh can easily hunt him down. Global pressure is the only real danger due to your lack of waveclear, although less and less Abathurs spec into Locust build nowadays. |
3 |
![]() |
Cho | Cho himself can't do much against you, he has a gap closer and sustain but he doesn't hurt. Avoid the Bomb if your Force of Will is on CD. |
3 |
![]() |
Chromie | Useless against Medivh, Temporal Loop is completely nullified by Force of Will as well as her burst. Easy 1v1. Her poke is scary however since Force of Will has a 5 second CD, and Chromie's Q is only on a 1.5s CD. |
3 |
![]() |
Johanna | Can't do anything against Medivh other than stunning him which will cause her to use a 60 seconds cooldown and her only actual Stun. Her pull won't do much since it doesn't actually pull a lot. |
3 |
![]() |
Kerrigan | Medivh is the best Kerrigan counter since it nullifies all of her burst -- and that's the big deal with Kerrigan. |
3 |
![]() |
Murky | The Pufferfish burst is nullified by Force of Will. Slime Advantage is scary however and he can stack up a lot of slows. He's mostly annoying, and since Octograb lost its popularity long-ago he suddenly can't stunlock you. |
3 |
![]() |
Raynor | Theoretically dangerous due to his sustained damage and knockback. In reality, no one plays him. |
3 |
![]() |
Sgt. Hammer | Easy dive with the Portal ,make sure you don't Poly Bomb her out of Siege Mode, that was she can move. Sustained damage tho, counter to the old Force of Will |
3 |
![]() |
D.Va | She can only knock you back, otherwise she's fairly weak. Her zoning can be denied with a casual Force of Will. Well, on 1 person. She's annoying in Pilot mode mostly, and even then she can't do much. |
3 |
![]() |
Lúcio | Knockback, no map pressure, no damage, nothing. Can stop wombos with his Heroic but if executed correctly it really won't matter. |
3 |
![]() |
Probius | Wait he still exists? Same as Gazlowe, just weaker. And that says a lot. |
3 |
![]() |
Valeera | Stun is theoretically deadly, although pretty much everyone goes for Ambush build for whatever reason, you can mitigate everything she does with a swift button press. |
4 |
![]() |
Anub'arak | Scary if he can stunlock you and not allow you to use Portal or Force of Will. Easy to duel otherwise since he can't output enough damage to 1v1 you. |
4 |
![]() |
Azmodan | His Globe can be mitigated by Force of Will which can be upgraded at level 16 with Circle of Protection making it much stronger. He can 1v1 you if you eat his Laser. His splitpush pressure is strong against Medivh however. |
4 |
![]() |
Diablo | Not enough damage to duel Medivh, Portal can help an ally ( if they are not a dummy ), or you, to get away and usually Diablo is paired with burst -- Force of Will mitigates that perfectly. Can flip you away from your Portal fairly easily tho. |
4 |
![]() |
Kael'thas | If he Stuns you and you don't have Force of Will on yourself you'll take a lot of burst right to the face. His Flamestrike poke isn't too shabby either. |
4 |
![]() |
Zeratul | He does burst which you counter, and you can reveal him with Dust of Appearance. You can 1v1 him due to his low HP pool. If he baits out Force of Will, you can still Poly Bomb him. |
4 |
![]() |
Ragnaros | He is really not that relevant anymore. His damage output was gutted along with his survival. Molten Core is probably the most dangerous part, although that's on a 120 seconds cooldown. |
5 |
![]() |
Chen | You cannot 1v1 him due to the heavy regen, gap closer and the Shield generation. Wandering Keg is anything but dangerous since you can just Portal away after it ends or Force of Will away the burst that an ally might suffer. Easy farming for The Master's Touch however. |
5 |
![]() |
Kharazim | Due to slightly recent DPS build buffs he provides strong sustained damage which Medivh won't be able to do much against. |
5 |
![]() |
The Lost Vikings | You lack waveclear and their splitpush pressure will do a lot until level 20. You can 1v1 any of them ( or all the Vikings at once ) , but they have a fair amount of ways to escape. |
5 |
![]() |
Tyrael | Sanctification shuts down your Ley Line setup completely and Holy Ground denies your portal completely. Threat rating is heavily skill dependent on both your team following up on Ley Line Seal and the enemy Tyrael using Sanctification properly. |
6 |
![]() |
Artanis | Easily jukeable, he shouldn't ever catch you and Force of Will can mitigate his burst late game from Triple Strike + Titan Killer. Being a more popular pick nowadays ( although not that much more popular ) he's a threat just due to his ability to pull you way from your portal. |
6 |
![]() |
Jaina | Little poke, very high CD burst. Force of Will completely nullifies all of her damage ,she's an easy 1v1 and you can Portal if she roots you with Ring of Frost. Water Elemental is actually really good against Medivh, that's scary. With the new AA Talent at level 7, she can suddenly do decent sustained damage and go past your Protected. |
6 |
![]() |
Malfurion | Correction : His Roots WILL stop you from using the Portal, as will all other root effects. Besides that, he has a big AoE Silence that will kill your DPS for a significant amount of time. |
6 |
![]() |
Stitches | You get hooked, you die. As simple as that, your HP isn't all that high so even some wonky follow-up will destroy you. However if someone else gets Hooked ,Force of Will is going to mitigate the damage. |
6 |
![]() |
Tassadar | Since his rework, he can suddenly do a lot of damage with Archon, meaning that your Force of Will won't do as much. |
6 |
![]() |
Thrall | Since both Heroics are just as used, he can safely pick Sundering and ruin your day. Ancestral Wrath won't be stopped by Force of Will and nor can you pressure him due to his crazy sustain. |
6 |
![]() |
Tyrande | Since her rework, she'll mess you up heavily. Her Owl poke is hard to react to ( or you just can't protect everyone ) and, due to the rework, she can actually do AA damage now with Darnasian Archery. |
6 |
![]() |
Xul | AoE damage is scary as well as Poison Nova and his CC. You can 1v1 him easily by juking, but you are weak against him in team fights. |
6 |
![]() |
Garrosh | Timing dependent threat level. If he pulls you/your ally while your Portal is on Cooldown. |
6 |
![]() |
Stukov | Silence right on your Portal, how do you like that? Yeah, it's pretty painful. but Stukov is also very weak to dive so if you manage to get on top of him he'll flop and die. |
6 |
![]() |
Cassia | A lot of AOE damage that lasts for 8 seconds due to Charged Strikes. You won't be able to mitigate most of her damage, however, she is very vulnerable to Spell Damage so you got her there. |
7 |
![]() |
Brightwing | Despite her being an easy 1v1, her Polymorph stops you from casting spells ( we all know how much that hurts as a Mage ) and with Emerald Wind's rise in popularity she can push you away and daze you for a while. Also, Spell Armor. |
7 |
![]() |
E.T.C. | A much stronger Muradin against Medivh due to his knockback ,especially with the level 4 Talent that increases its knockback even further. |
7 |
![]() |
Muradin | His stun will stop you from using your Portal and due to your low HP pool ,if the enemy team focuses you because you got stunned, you will be dead. |
7 |
![]() |
Nova | Generally easy 1v1, but if she can bait out your Force of Will, you're dead. Especially in team fights, if Nova waits, she can just burst you down when Force of Will is on CD. |
7 |
![]() |
Rexxar | He does continuous damage and in 1v1 he can send Misha after you. If you Portal past Misha ,right into Rexxar's face, you can duel him. |
7 |
![]() |
Sonya | You can barely 1v1 her by juking, but her sustained damage from AAs and Slams will hurt a lot during team fights. Easily countered by Poly Bomb however. |
7 |
![]() |
Uther | Rework happened, Uther can enable far better without Divine Shield now so Storm is more popular. What does Storm do? AOE stunlock so you can't save everyone and his stunlock ends up stopping you dead in your tracks if you try to dive. |
7 |
![]() |
Auriel | While a great pair with Medivh due to him having a lot of AoE DPS allowing Auriel to heal a lot, she also goes well against him due to her whip. You don't even need to get stunned by it, just getting pushed away from your Portal will screw you over. Also the pull on lvl 13 from her is quite annoying. |
7 |
![]() |
Alarak | Remember Auriel? Yeah she needs to be in position to whip you away. Alarak on the other hand ,just pulls you in the worst possible direction from anywhere ,and with a high range. You can mitigate his burst, sure, but his Silence is still going to hurt since it prevents you from doing any damage and from shielding yourself. |
8 |
![]() |
Arthas | If he catches you he'll kill you if you can't Portal away. His damage is continuous and therefore Force of Will is less effective. If you can't juke him in a 1v1, you'll die. |
8 |
![]() |
Dehaka | Drag is a long duration stun which can mark your death assuming the enemy has any form of burst. Tough to 1v1 nowadays due to his CDR on Drag at 7 and race-car build which allows him to gapclose swiftly. Can basically stop you from going to your Portal permanently. Global pressure doesn't help either. |
8 |
![]() |
Falstad | Despite the sudden rise of popularity of his Mage build, Hybrid build is still very popular which allows you to be less reliant on the burst which you can mitigate. Can Gust you away, can disable your wombo potential with Ley Line Seal and has global pressure. |
8 |
![]() |
Gall | Poke poke poke poke poke poke. Gall's continuous long range poke will easily go through Force of Will. While Poly Bomb does hard counter him, the poke is far too good. His Shadowbolt Volley is easily countered by Force of Will. That is, until the level 20 upgrade. |
8 |
![]() |
Gul'dan | A lot of poke and sustained damage which will go through Force of Will, as well as sustain. Tough 1v1 assuming Gul'dan plays just as well as you, since you can't juke him and Force of Will isn't great against him. |
8 |
![]() |
Rehgar | Rehgar jumps up even further due to his abusive damage and capacity to heal even while Ley Line Sealed due to his Healing Totem. Can stop your wombo combos with Cleanse and Ancestral, can apply heavy map pressure. |
8 |
![]() |
Sylvanas | Continuous damage, Silence and a way to run away from you. She is very scary, but easy to 1v1 unless she burns Wailing Arrow. |
8 |
![]() |
Tracer | Lots of sustained damage ,burst from her Heroic is countered by Force of Will. You can 1v1 her if you time your Force of Will right and hit every Arcane Rift + use Poly Bomb. |
8 |
![]() |
Tychus | You can't do much against Tychus, he can follow you with Overkill, his Grenade is a good finisher and Minigun will burn you to pieces. Strong sustained damage dealer and juker. |
8 |
![]() |
Valla | Oh lord Jesus, you can 1v1 her due to your heavy damage with The Master's Touch, but if you miss once you're done for. She has very heavy sustained damage. Both her Heroics are countered by Poly Bomb ( Strafe ) or by Force of Will ( Rain of Vengeance ). |
8 |
![]() |
Varian | Point and click CC and the power known as "protected btw haHAA" ( only meme, I promise ). His Taunt will ruin your day |
9 |
![]() |
Gazlowe | You can't dive against a good Gazlowe. Medivh's backline dive with Portal is incredible, but Gazlowe's Turrets and their continuous damage will go through Force of Will. Grav-o-Bomb isn't scary, but the Turrets are a heavy counter to your dive. |
9 |
![]() |
Greymane | Greymane has a lot of burst. And that burst keeps on going as long as he is in Worgen. You cannot 1v1 Greymane unless he stays a long time in Human form and you have The Master's Touch finished and you time your Force of Will perfectly as soon as he goes Worgen on you and you Poly Bomb right as Fore of Will ends. His sustained heavy damage in Worgen is an incredible counter to Force of Will, however Go for the Throat gets countered by it. And then he picks Marked for the Kill and you can't do anything about it. |
9 |
![]() |
Nazeebo | The poke in team fights will easily go through Force of Will and hurt. To make things worse, his Spider cooldown at 16 is just barely lower than your Force of Will's. |
9 |
![]() |
The Butcher | He does not have poke, but just like Greymane, he does a lot of sustained damage. If he uses Lamb on you, you're dead as s**t. One of the only Heroes who can 1v1 Medivh, if he uses Lamb to the Slaughter. Poly Bomb hard counter, and Force of Will stops him from healing. |
9 |
![]() |
Zagara | You know the deal by now, global pressure = high threat. And Zagara is the mother of global pressure. If you can't force team fights enough, you're done for. |
9 |
![]() |
Zarya | So Alarak, ETC, Auriel, they can push you away from your Portal for like a second. Yeah? Zarya does it for 4 seconds with a very low Cooldown ult ( Expulsion Zone ) ,and your Shield won't block all of her damage because sustained DPS and those Shields she has really get in your way. |
9 |
![]() |
Malthael | Ley Line Seal him during Tormented Souls and disengage. He has excessive AOE damage-over-time and your damage won't do much against his copious sustain, especially if he takes the Spell Shield on level 13. |
10 |
![]() |
Illidan | Can't 1v1 him, he has no burst for you to mitigate, he will chase you even if you Portal. Poly Bomb is a very strong Illidan counter however. You still can't 1v1 him tho. |
10 |
![]() |
Lunara | You can 1v1 her but in team fights you are useless against her. Her DoT stacks up to 9 seconds and Medivh's Force of Will lasts 1.5 seconds. She can also spread her poison and even with Circle of Protection you can only mitigate |
10 |
![]() |
Genji | Sweet Jesus, he'll destroy you. You'd think about running Poly Bomb against him right? Well then you just passed on a really strong Heroic just to throw Genji off. And even then, he will absolutely destroy you and your team if paired with a Divine Shield or Cleanse. |
