/ How to draft against Puck
-
01
Take the Off matchup seriously — Puck converts a won lane into map control faster than most heroes in the tier.
-
02
Lone Druid is the cleanest answer in the pool with a 72.7% win rate over 33 tracked games.
-
03
Spend the early ward and dust budget on vision, not on damage — the hero only dies when the escape is tracked.
-
04
Stack magic resistance across the team instead of on a single core; the burst is spread damage, not a single-target combo.
-
05
Ban priority stays high whenever Puck is picked into a Pos 3 slot with a comfort player behind it.
