How to Counter Spider Mines by s2nome

Countering spiders mines is really tricky, if you're not careful you will ended up in a bad situation. Lets here it from s2nome how to counter these dreadful mines






Early Game

  • Keep good lane control so you can see where Engineer is at all times.
  • Counter-pick Engineer with Ophelia, Warbeast, Balphagore, or any other hero with summons.
  • Take unconventional routes to avoid mines.
  • If you know where the mines are, don't buy a Revelation Ward just yet. Let him waste his time placing a lot, then buy one to sweep them all up.
  • Make use of his lack of Keg/Turret levels to kill him or his lanemate repeatedly. Just don't walk into traps (and they will almost always be obvious).
  • Most importantly, don't be dumb.

Mid Game



  • Buy more Wards of Revelation.
  • Keep jungle entrances and river warded and in sight.
  • Buy a Whispering Helm to dominate a creep, then use it to minesweep.
  • Buy a Mystic Vestments.
  • Start building a Puzzlebox.

Late Game
  • Buy more Wards of Revelation.
  • If you know where mines are, have high-HP members of the team buy Barbed Armor. Activate as you run into the mines; if there are enough, Engineer will probably instantly die. Repeat enough times and he'll complain on the forums.
  • Upgrade your Puzzlebox to 3. (Quoted from s2nomes)
