Beats Gorr the God Butcher
The ThingVanguardour note
8/10hardThe Thing's Yancy Street Charge leaves an 8m zone that prevents mobility abilities, and Gorr's only ways out of a melee are the Shadow Harvest warp and the Living Abyss surge, while Unyielding Will ignores the Launch Up his Berserkers land.
Human TorchDuelistour note
5/10softEvery Black Berserker is a 150 health target that stands still for 6s, and Blazing Blast leaves 20 a second Flame Fields under it while Torch fights from the air beyond All-Black's 7m reach.
The PunisherDuelistour note
5/10softCulling Turret puts out 12.5 rounds a second at 10 damage plus a 10 damage explosion each, so a 150 health Black Berserker lasts under a second, and its 600 health front block eats the Shadow Harvest shockwave.

Gorr the God Butcher has 4 mapped matchups on this page, 1 of them heroes who counter Gorr the God Butcher hard.
The figures in the header: tier, win rate, pick rate and match count are drawn from community match data, across 9,084 recorded matches, and the tier letter is that data's call rather than ours. Pick rate is the share of matches featuring Gorr the God Butcher. Rank is our ordering of those win rates across the 54 heroes in the snapshot, not a rating we measured. Ban share is the percentage of every ban cast that named Gorr the God Butcher, in the ranked divisions where the ban phase runs. It is our own figure and not the same as a published ban rate. These win rates are shrunk toward 50% in proportion to sample size at the source, so a rarely played hero reads closer to even than it actually played. A sample, not a census, and not split by rank or mode. The matchup counts above are ours, and the 0 to 10 ratings on every card are matchup lopsidedness rather than a win rate, because we measure nothing ourselves. Statistical data is based on external APIs and publicly available information. It may differ from official data.

Best allies per hero, ranked by how often teams won with both on the field. Win rates are shrunk toward 50% by sample size at the source, because duo samples are far thinner than solo ones. This is not the same as a Team-Up, which is a specific ability a pair unlocks. A Team-Up is a game mechanic: these two heroes on one team unlock an extra ability. The win rate is how often teams containing both won, which is not the same as how much the Team-Up itself contributed. Match data as of Sep 13, 2026. Which heroes pair, and what the ability is called, come from the game itself. Team-Ups are reshuffled between seasons, so this list is refreshed rather than written once.

How is this calculated?
Counter rating is how lopsided that hero is against Gorr the God Butcher, 7 to 10 for a hard counter and 3 to 6 for a soft one. It comes from this site's matchup data.
Ban share is the percentage of every ban that named that hero, counted across the ranked divisions where the ban phase runs, so it does not describe lower divisions or Quick Play. Ban counts are drawn from community match data, as of Sep 13, 2026. It sums to 100% across the roster, so 9% means roughly one ban in eleven. Declined bans are not counted. Combined multiplies the counter rating by the ban share, after damping the share so the most banned hero on the roster cannot swamp a genuinely bad matchup. A hero has to both answer Gorr the God Butcher and be someone the ladder already treats as a problem.
Why bans and not pick rate: a ban is chosen before the match and on purpose, which makes it the cleanest signal that a hero is considered a problem. It is also the same question this panel is asking. This is our own figure, not the same as a published ban rate, so the two will not match.
