Jakiro

Why strong in 7.38b?

Win rate (~52%), partly due to dual damage types (physical + magic).
Reworked Facets improve his laning presence and team fight potential.
Liquid Fire & Dual Breath slow attack speed, countering meta hyper-carries like Phantom Assassin & Sven.
Ice Path is still one of the best AoE disables for setting up kills and disengaging.

Why good for you?

Straightforward but powerful: You control fights with Ice Path, zone enemies with Macropyre, and harass heavily in lane.
Versatile: Can adapt between a teamfight build (Aether Lens, Veil) or a pushing build (Aghs Shard, Wraith Pact).
Great at team coordination: You like learning positioning and spellcasting, and Jakiro rewards that.

✅ Counters:

Phantom Assassin / Slark / Monkey King – Dual Breath slows their attack speed, reducing their damage output.
Bristleback / Ursa – High DOT damage from Macropyre burns through tanky, high-regen heroes.
Broodmother / Nature’s Prophet – Good at clearing summons and pushing waves.

🔴 Struggles Against:

Anti-Mage / Storm Spirit / Ember Spirit – Too mobile, dodges your spells.
Rubick – Can steal Ice Path and Macropyre, making him a problem.
