Anti-Mage's Blink Is No More

Anti-Mage's Blink Is No More

Anti-Mage is one of the agility hero in DOTA 2. Anti-Mage is also called “Magina”. He is a fast agility carry with an ability to kill high-mana heroes fastest than the other carries. His fast attack speed and his passive ability, Mana Break, can ruin the enemies quickly. He also has “Blink” that allows him to blinking through 1150 (1450 if using his talent) and escape from a deadly fight. His ultimate ability, Mana Void, deals huge damage to mana-less hero and splashes to the near heroes. In late game, he will be very hard to kill because his skills and items that can make him to escape the battle quickly.

But here, let me show you how to avoid Anti-Make from blinking away. As you know that every skill has a cooldown, the fastest cooldown is 6 seconds (4 seconds if use talent). You can probably kill him while his ability is in cooldown, but it will be hard if in late game. Using the disable skills can help you to kill him easily. If Anti-Mage is disabled, he cannot use his skills or items. On that time, you can kill him as fast before he escape from disabled.

Heroes

1. Axe

Axe is a tank hero. His “Berseker’s Call” skill will forces Anti-Mage to attack him and disable the attackers from using skill. The “Counter Helix” that deals high pure damage and his high defence can allow Axe to duel with Anti-Mage, especially with a support and “Blade Mail” item.

2. Bloodseeker

Bloodseeker has “Rupture”, an ultimate that deals damage based the distance you run from your first hit by it. As long you go, as fast you die. Attack Anti-Mage with “Rupture” before he blinks away and hit with “Blood Rite”, he got silenced and you can hit him easily.

3. Doom

His ultimate “Doom” will doomed Anti-Mage. It stops Anti-Mage to use skills and its pure damage ignores the protection of “Spell Shield”. With “Aghanim’s Scepter” item, “Doom” will not be vanished as long as you near with the marked enemy.

4. Legion Commander

Legion Commander’s “Duel” will prevents Anti-Mage to blinking away. Legion Commander’s damage is more than Anti-Mage’s, in “Duel” you can fight Anti-Mage with her passive skill “Moment of Courage” and kill him easily.

5. Lion

Most of the Lion’s skill is the disable skills. First skill “Earth Spike” is to stun the enemies in a line, the second skill “Hex” will turn the enemy into a frog and disable them, and “Mana Drain” to drain Anti-Mage’s mana then he cannot blink without mana.

Items

1. Black King Bar

Black King Bar will protect the owner from any magic attacks. Include “Mana Break” and “Mana Void” from Anti-Mage. Your mana is saved.

2. Scythe of Vyse

This item will turn one of the enemy into a pig and disable him. Anti-Mage will not escape with blink and cannot attack if he is in pig mode.

3. Orchid Malevolence

Orchid Malevolence silences and prevent the enemy from using his skills. Kill Anti-Mage before he can blink again if the silence is running out.

4. Abyssal Blade

Abyssal Blade can overwhelm Anti-Mage and stun him. Anti-Mage will be stucked in few seconds, cannot attack and cannot use skills.
