Countering Kunkka?

[Log™]

What's best way to counter kunkka on mid? Looks like that tidebringer is a bit too good as lane control.

kunkkas defensive abilities are very limited, so he doesn't fare well against agressive play. also until his tidebringer has a few levels, the harass is easily countered by consumables. in what lane scenario do you have most problems against him? mid? offlane? kunkkas harass is easily evaded with some practice, buying a stick will show you when tidebringer got off cd (you gain a charge), also his sword "glows" when tidebringer is available.

so possibilities are
-nuke him every time he tries to use his tidebringer
-apply dot so he suffers the same dmg as you do
-learn to/play a hero that can evade tidebringer

if you don't get harassed to hard, the big downside of tidebringer will come into play, the lane will be pushed to your tower where you can very easily last hit and controll kunkka.

Rubick fares somewhat well against him for a support, since Fade Bolt reduces his attack damage, and thus Tidebringer as well. Phoenix and KotL are other support options since they can harass him heavily with strong, long-range nukes.

Sven, his armor buff costs no mana and can make his splash dmg do nothing. Kind of a long cd though, so you may have to dodge some aswell.

... noobish dreams. phoenix actually can harass with dat firebirds, but you need some skill to land them right

It is his only means of harass, and he is a melee hero.

I recommend picking viper and maxing out corrosive skin.

Puck, use phase shift everytime he swings the sword with tidebringer on it

dis nabs. max poison attack. the idea is to slow kunka before he can hit creeps and to deal max damage on his way back.
