Interesting coming across this.
There should be a new version or something of this.
I get really annoyed how a hunter can pick tanks off with such ease with little drawback.
I've built Tanky as hell and still get blasted down.
Should hide of the Nemian Lion get a buff or some better use?
20% isn't anything at all to be honest.

I don't remember seeing this before.

One thing you need to understand though...countering a hunter as a different class doesn't mean if you counter-build you should win a fight. It means it gives you additional help to aid your team. Hunters should be able to take down almost anyone in a 1 v 1...they have full damage builds, and often have attack speed steroids to boost their DPS.

As a warrior, yes, they can output some damage, and they can soak some damage, but their strength is in other things...often teamfight oriented. So counter-building with attack speed slows ( Midgardian Mail), damage reflect ( Shield of Thorns or Hide of the Nemean Lion) or other aura items that boost attack speed, provide group protections, etc., are all meant to help slow down their DPS or make them more vulnerable so your team can survive and kill them first.

Nice and thorough guide so far.... but I slightly disagree with the Anubis counter. Beads are definitely helpful, but can be outplayed with a Gem of Isolation. His 3 (Grasping Hands) has so much slow at that point, most Gods will bead out of the damage, leaving the Wrap and Ult to kill the enemy.

I would add in Aegis Shield as another active (definitely a counter to most ability based Gods). Most defensive items aren't going to be super effective since Anubis removes protections as a passive (even more so with Spear of the Magus), but Pestilence in theory would work fairly well (slowing his native and item Lifesteal, as well as adding some protections).

Plus Hide of the Nemean Lion with Shield of the Underworld is a great combination. No lifesteal and 60% damage reflection makes any hunter cry.

The combination isn't as good in Conquest as it is in say joust, because you would b using up an active and have to worry about more than one god, but it is still worth mentioning.

Hmmm... Sorry to say but... Hide of the Nemean Lion kind of only kills yourself...

You get damage reflected to the enemy ADC, he can easily counter it with any lifesteal item ... it's pretty much useless since he can get that health back from hitting those autos on you...

If you want to get a item to counter a Hunter, get either Midgardian Mail or Winged Blade ( Since some of the best hunters have a root/slow so this could be well used againts a Artemis, Anhur, Ah Muzen Cab, Apollo, Ullr, etc. )
