Magneto struggles against sustained damage and heroes who can disrupt his abilities. Here’s what heroes to play and how to counter Magneto:

Venom: Cellular Corrosion (Right Click) slows Magneto, making it harder for him to reposition or chase enemies. Feast of the Abyss (Q) lets Venom ambush Magneto, dealing significant damage while healing himself.
Hulk: Gamma Grenade (LShift) knocks Magneto airborne, disrupting his abilities and forcing him out of position. Incredible Leap (Space) allows Hulk to engage Magneto quickly, limiting his control over the fight.
Groot: Strangling Prison (Q) immobilizes Magneto, neutralizing his mobility and locking him in place for follow-up attacks. Thornlash Wall (LShift) creates barriers that zone Magneto and disrupt his ability to control space.
Captain America: Freedom Charge (Q) lets Cap close the gap and pressure Magneto in melee combat. Living Legend (Right Click) deflects Magneto’s projectiles, turning his own damage against him.

Black Panther: Sprint Rend (LShift) lets Black Panther quickly close the gap and apply pressure to Magneto. Spinning Kick (E) interrupts Magneto’s abilities and applies Vibranium Marks for bonus damage.
Magik: Stepping Discs (LShift) allows Magik to teleport into or out of Magneto’s control zones, avoiding his crowd control. Umbral Incursion (E) launches Magneto airborne, interrupting his abilities and creating an opening for follow-up attacks.
Spider-Man: Get Over Here! (E) pulls Magneto into melee range, forcing him into an unfavorable position. Spectacular Spin (Q) stuns Magneto, stopping him from casting abilities.
Scarlet Witch: Hex Surge (Right Click) deals significant damage to Magneto from a distance, bypassing his area control. Reality Warp (Q) interrupts Magneto’s abilities, disrupting his control over the fight.

Adam Warlock: Soul Bond (LShift) spreads damage among allies, countering Magneto’s area damage. Karmic Revival (Q) revives fallen teammates, reducing the impact of Magneto’s eliminations.
Loki: Doppelganger (E) creates illusions to confuse Magneto, wasting his attacks and abilities. Devious Exchange (F) allows Loki to dodge Magneto’s abilities and reposition to counter him.
Luna Snow: Absolute Zero (Right Click) freezes Magneto, stopping his abilities and preventing him from controlling the fight. Fate of Both Worlds (Q) provides healing over time, helping her team survive Magneto’s area damage.

Metallic Curtain (LShift): Blocks incoming attacks and projectiles, giving Magneto a temporary shield. Use melee or AoE abilities to bypass it.
Meteor M (Q): A massive area attack that deals heavy damage to grouped enemies. Spread out to avoid taking unnecessary damage.
Magnetic Field (Passive): Grants Magneto extra sustain in fights. Focus him down quickly to prevent him from benefiting from extended engagements.

Spread Out: Avoid grouping up to minimize the impact of Magneto’s area damage abilities.
Interrupt His Combos: Use stuns, slows, or knockbacks to disrupt Magneto’s control and limit his damage output.
Apply Sustained Pressure: Magneto struggles against consistent damage. Heroes who can stay in the fight will counter him effectively.
