Thor counter?

[Necrosmos]

Is there a good tank that counters Thor?

[Steve]

Depends on skill level -- any tank can provide a counter, but a shield tank like Strange may prove easier from a defensive standpoint.

Thor will just smash through his shield and Strange is dead.

peni could do well if she uses her right click imo

Strange isn't THAT squishy, for one, and for another, one would hope support would be doing its job.

I know, big ask, but it is a team-based shooter. Dare to dream?

What would you suggest?

Strange's biggest weakness is melee range and Thor is a melee character who can pack a punch. It's weird to put Strange as a main counter to him.

Strange's bigggest weakness is melee range and Thor is a melee character who can pack a punch. It's weird to put Strange as a main counter to him.

And yet it works for me. Go figure. XD

so... what would you suggest, then?

Honestly? Thor.
Maybe Magneto if you can land your hits.

[Steve]

Yeah, Magneto's pretty good. Countering Thor with Thor would require being comfortable against him, though, and IDK if that'd be a good suggestion here. Magneto is, though, for sure.

[Mitrovarr]

I'd say either Groot or Peni.

Groot can wall him off, or wall off behind him so he can't get healing and gets isolated form his team.

Peni can create spider nests that do enough burst damage to be a real threat to him, can web him up to mess up his movement, and can climb up walls or web away to escape.

And he's not a tank, but Wolverine is always worth considering if a single tank player is dominating your team.

Realistically though if you are having that much trouble with Thor, it's not just the Thor, it's an entire effective dive comp and you need to deal with the whole thing and one character isn't going to cut it.

Thor laughs at sheilds....

He laughs at a lot of things. He's a jovial fellow.

The tank that gets the most healing wins a tank fight.

Groot can counter thor by walling him in/blocking escape. Peni counters thor hard with her 2 second CC and mines. Venom can be alright against him too. Strange, Magneto and hulk Imo are thr weakest against him. Not to say they just get melted, but they do get juggled around the most.

[Poutrelle]

Thor main here :
Thor's counters are more team based than a solo counter. Focus him hard, he wont be able to mitigate enough. A bit of CC on top of that, and he's in a bad spot.

But on tank to counter, Peni. The nest + the right clic is horrible for thor.
Groot can isolate a greedy thor, to cut him off from his healers; and can be a real nuisance for him (a bad groot on your team as thor, is the worst thing you can have).

The other tanks can do things, but won't "counter" him. But Thor is not a tank buster, so you'll have a window against him; but you'll need your team.

But for real, peni is the definition of anti-fun for thor. Peni + wolv = switch for me.

Hope it helped.

Thor vs Thor is a great counter 😎

Wolverine has to work half as hard against Thor since he's already going to be pushing into your front line. Easy kidnap.
Punisher is a great choice, since you're not going to miss any shots with the rifle as he walks towards you and you can chunk him with the shotgun if he gets too close
Winter Soldier is great because he can hook Thor easily and force him to over extend, then brawl with him a bit since he gets shield on every skill activation, so can Iron Fist if you whiff the first 4 hits in your combo, then drop behind Thor, push him forward with the last hit, then push him again with shift while using M2 to gain temporary life while body blocking him from moving backwards and soaking up healing projectiles,
Peni and Groot are already covered above, flyers can stay out of his reach while dumping damage as long as the rest of the enemy team allows it given the moment in the match, Psylock can chunk him from a safe distance, etc
Thor is strong but he's a brick, he's not that hard to out think but of course its a lot harder if the enemy team is covering his weaknesses properly
