How do i counter Anti-Mage late game when he already have gotten his items?

[Chilli Dog Dave]

if you don't have BKB piercing stuns. you pray.

Faceless void does well against him with some farm . Otherwise Bane will make he's life hell. You can make sure he is trying to last hit with 20 damage early game and seriously delay he's farm. Late game you have a long ass BKB piercing lockdown.

As purdurabu said, Bane is fairly strong against AntiMage both early and late game but you have to remember that Anti-Mage is gonna be split pushing. As such it's very hard to kill him mid game as he won't be going into teamfights. Basically, if you can lock him down he's toast. Somebody like pudge is also very good for this.

In late game..... You don't counter am.... You pray to God that he didn't set his eyes on you or you are dead meat. Late game it pretty hard to counter him... Coz of his magic resistance and mana burn damage. 1 vs 1 against am ? The best option is chaos knight... Who can burst him down with his illusion. Silence is useless against am coz he is natural manta carry. So hex. You need team work to shutdown am. There are hard carry who can fight one vs one head on. But still dangerous. Meepo is good idea against am if you know how to play him.

Asking how to counter a carry when he's farmed is like asking how to not get hit by a train when you decided to stand in the middle of the tracks. if he's fed you've put yourself in a bad situation.

when you're up against heroes like that you either need to pick early game bashers (meepo, brood, etc) or pick a team that counters him. spectre, and faceless can swap blows with him in the late game, but ideally you would end around the 30-40 minute mark. if you arent ending fast you need to be killing anti every time you see him.

Exactly, there for, you make sure he has bfury at 30 min mark and that you are in their base. Good early game heroes that can gank when lvl 6. Void jjug.

Am can't gank lvl 6. He needs like 14 before ganking.

if u stop anti farm and controled the jungles its GG for them

[Chickenhead]

Void beats am any stage of the game with equal farm, any hero with basher, sheep stick, disables, holding ults like bane or enigma. Am is just annoying not unstopable. Spirit breaker is also good.

[Psychotic Man]

AM is pretty similar to Alchemist, only he can hold out longer in late game than Alchemist.

AM generally excels by out-farming the enemy carry. He will have 6 items while the enemy will have 3-4 items if played correctly.

How to counter him late game? Simple, get your carry six slotted. On fair grounds, AM sucks because he has no real way of fighting off physical damage, and his offensive power only really works against spell-users. AM's whole gameplay depends on whether he can get six-slotted before the enemy carry gets six-slotted, and once both of them are six-slotted, AM loses his advantage. In these cases Anti-Mage will be forced to run rather than fight you and team-fights will be a lot easier on your team late game. Also, Mana Break does not go through spell immunity.

Anti-Mage is also a very strong split pusher, so any heroes with anti split push traits like Gyrocopter are strong against him.

AM generally does not build BKB due to the fact that he needs a bigger bang for his buck and he already has defense against magic damage. So, popping his Linkens or Manta should be your priority before using silences on him.

So, you either don't let him get six-slotted, or if he does get six-slotted, make sure your carry is also six-slotted.

Linkensphere on anti Mage. You god bro, try.

To counter my favorite hero:

Get slardar blink: Blink, crush, amplify, watch him die as you cancel his blink with you ♥♥♥♥ bashes.

Same story with SB

In general:

It's always too late if any carry got fed: GGWP. Hope they make a mistake.

Gank him early. Not 1v1. You need like 3 ppl to actually kill him. Maybe 2 sometimes. Don't let him farm. Don't give him space. GG

I think you unfairly dismissing how much Bane can mess with antimage and linkes on antimage is a realy suboptimal item. Anyway how is anti going to get that linkens early enough to make a difference when bane will make sure anti gets basically zero farm in lane ? Bane also has 3 single target spells to break linkens with ease before ulti.

Abyssal and keep on the stuns why not?

Nature's Prophet is also a good choice to counter the split push but he can be very squishy late game.

If prophet makes damage items and has sheep stick he could potentially kill am late game

[phenomenon]

tiny with full farm can kill mage

[Jajo]

Yea, but AM will kill him faster:)
