Venomancer
Deals damage over time with venomous attacks
Kite enemies endlessly with Venomancer, an annoying lane dominator who pushes safely by placing an endless army of toxin-spitting watchers. In teamfights, he sacrifices himself to apply a massive, un-dispellable cloud of lingering poison that cripples the enemy's health regeneration.
Venomancer abilities, talents and win rates on this page are from Dota 2 patch 7.41f.
Venomancer Performance Summary
On patch 7.41f, Venomancer holds a 47.52% win rate across 305,514 ranked games. That average hides a 2.4-point swing between skill brackets — 48.71% in Herald against 46.3% in Divine — so Venomancer rewards knowing the hero far more than the raw number suggests.
