You can choose these heroes to counter nukers and support heroes in the 7.33c patch for Dota 2.
Many people like to play support heroes to make it hard to farm gold in the lane. Support heroes have a high mana pool that lets them cast multiple spells during battles to deal damage to you and your allies in Dota 2 matches. Picking heroes to counter support heroes can be pivotal to claiming victory in your games.
Playing counter heroes against enemies in support roles can be more fun than playing carry heroes in certain matches. Esports tournaments and competitions that feature Dota 2 require players to be able to counter nukers in their lanes with items and builds to resist being destroyed in team fights.
Dota 2 players like Cr1t and Fly from the esports team Shopify Rebellion have been monumental to their performance in the North American region of the DPC Summer Tour 2023. Shopify Rebellion has secured a 7 win streak in the DPC Summer Tour 2023 and is proceeding to maintain its spot at the top of the standings in the international tournament.
