Best Counters to Magneto
How to Counter Magneto
Magneto has 600 health but almost no mobility, so attack from angles his Metallic Curtain is not facing, or use hitscan, beams and melee, which it does not stop. Heroes who get around the curtain, like Magik with her teleports or Storm with a Bolt Rush that is a lightning field rather than a projectile, give him the most trouble. Count his barriers, since he has nothing to stop burst once Metal Bulwark and Iron Bulwark are both on cooldown, and hold fire on Meteor M while he charges it, because absorbed projectiles make it hit harder.
