Le Counter Picking

Heroes that give Ophelia a hard time and how to play around them

Legionnaire hero icon
Legionnaire
Initiator / Disabler
Legionnaire's Taunt and Whirling Blade combo is deadly, disrupting Ophelia's creep control and making her units easy targets. His initiation can instantly punish poor positioning and force you to lose valuable creeps during team fights.
💡 Keep creeps spread out and stay at max range. Use Starscribe Boots and your Ultimate after he commits.
Plague Rider hero icon
Plague Rider
Team Fight / AoE Control
Ultimate Plague Carrier is one of Ophelia's biggest counters, instantly killing non-Elite Pet creeps and bouncing up to 10 times between nearby enemies. Poor creep positioning can quickly destroy your army and reduce your team fight impact.
💡 Spread creeps apart to reduce bounces. Use Barrier Idol for burst protection and Stormspirit to save allies.
Voodoo Jester hero icon
Voodoo Jester
Burst / Control
Acid Cocktail chains between 2/4/6/8 targets, stunning creeps for 5 seconds while dealing 75/100/125/150 Magic Damage. His powerful crowd control makes him a dangerous threat against Ophelia's creep army and positioning.
💡 Avoid clumping creeps. Use Tablet of Command to disrupt him or Hellflower to silence him before his combo.
Glacius hero icon
Glacius
Control / Support
Ice Imprisonment locks down targets with a mini-stun, immobilize, and disarm effect for 1.5/2/2.5/3 seconds, or 10 seconds on non-hero units. It can completely disable your creeps and prevent escapes during fights.
💡 Send creeps back with Ophelia's Judgment to trigger fountain healing and save them. Use Tablet of Command to escape or protect allies.

General rule: Against any of these heroes, adjust your positioning, itemize defensively, and coordinate with your team to neutralize them before they can ruin your creep army.

Le Micro & Keybind

Practice, setup and Lets GOphelia.

Ophelia is one of the highest skill-cap heroes in Heroes of Newerth. Mastering micro-management and setting up efficient keybinds is essential to unlock her full potential. Here are my recommendations:

🎮 Keybind Setup
  • SPACE: Main item slots (Boots and Tablet on priority binds)
  • X-C-V-D-F: Other items
  • Ctrl + 1: Select EVERYTHING (Hero + all creeps)
  • Ctrl + 2: Select CREEPS ONLY
  • Ctrl + 3: Ophelia + Minotaur (for Tablet Combo)
  • Ctrl + 4: Tornado bind
  • Ctrl + 5: Wolf Commander (follow carry)
  • Tab: Cycle through units
  • Mouse Side Button 1: Wards
  • Mouse Side Button 2: Consumables

"Micro is not about speed. It's about decision-making and muscle memory. Set your keybinds once, and never change them." — TheFrenchGuyz
