Lou Yi is a powerful mage geomancer in Mobile Legends. With her Yin-Yang ability, she can inflict burst magic damage to multiple enemies and apply crowd control from a distance.
This hero climbed up the ranks of becoming one of the best mid-laners when she was released in mobile legends in May 2020 during the 515 events as a free hero.
And although this hero may seem intimidating if she gets picked by the enemy team once you end up missing on banning, there are still ways you can defeat her with less effort.
Like most mages in the game, one of her weaknesses is having low mobility. Her skills are also slightly more tricky to master than the others because using this hero is all about precision and timing.
If you still have no idea which heroes would be best against Lou Yi to make you less nervous in a ranked game, here are her Top 10 powerful counters to ensure you don’t break your winning streak.
1. Natalia

"Give me names and I will give you blood." -Natalia, MLBB
To top our list, we have Natalia. She is one of the deadliest assassins in Mobile Legends, perfect for ambush attacks. She can enter a concealed state by staying in the bush and proceed to stealth mode if she has not taken or dealt any damage in 2 seconds. Her unique skills make her impossible to escape even with Lou Yi's teleportation ultimate.
Fanny is the most challenging hero in Mobile Legends. You'll find pro users are often hailed like gods in the game if you encounter a good one. She's the perfect counter for Lou Yi because her 2nd skill can produce and attach multiple cables to the walls, enabling her to leap long distances. She's equipped with persistent lifesteal and can deal heavy burst damage to the enemies she passes through.
“When the body suffers, the spirit blooms.” -Benedetta, MLBB
Ranked 3rd on our list is Benedetta— her skill set is a true menace for almost every hero in Mobile Legends. She is one of the hardest ones to catch and counter. Her abilities allow her to do unlimited dashes making her highly unpredictable and challenging for Lou Yi to land a hit.
"When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back." -Selena, MLBB
Brace yourself. We are not yet finished with the assassins. Selena is different from the first three because she specializes in burst magic damage rather than physical damage; she is also known for being a bully in the early game. She can fire a magic arrow inflicting an abyssal mark,stunning the enemy she hits, making her a strong opponent for Lou Yi in the mid-lane.
"The perfect combination of might and magic" -Gusion, MLBB
Gusion is one of the solid early game assassins— also characterized as a mage proven worthy to be on our list. This hero is as swift as a knife with a full combo. If used against Lou Yi, her only chance to dodge or escape his attacks would be picking the right battle spell and depending on her team's protection.
"The more your fear grows, the smaller you become." -Eudora, MLBB
Given that not everyone can easily pick the role of an assassin or fighter in the game, here is a more universal and beginner-friendly hero for you. Eudora is very effective in performing a surprise attack on an enemy. Her stun ability is faster than Lou Yi's escape mechanism, bringing your team a sure kill every time she lands a full combo.
Another mid-laner for the team is Aurora. This mage has a mixture of CC and AOE skill sets that will contribute to leading your team into victory. Aurora works best in executing an ambush because of her ability to stun multiple enemies at once, making them vulnerable for your teammates to take down.
WHY AURORA IS GREAT AGAINST LOU YI:
AOE (Area of Effect skill)
Burst magic damage
CC (Crowd Control skill)
BEST ITEMS TO USE AGAINST LOU YI:
Lightning Truncheon
Divine Glaive
Holy Crystal
Glowing Wand
Blood Wings

8. Chou

“Wipe out all the injustice in the world.” -Chou, MLBB.
To spice up our list, I will be adding one of the most versatile fighter heroes in Mobile Legends. Chou has been a consistent crowd favorite all season because of his balanced attributes between dealing damage and durability. This hero can get close to Lou Yi and inflict CC, preventing her from using her skills.
"Claude and Dexter are always ready, if you've prepared your money." -Claude, MLBB
Now that we’re down to the last two, ending at the gold lane is the only way to go. Claude takes the number 9 spot as one of the best counters for Lou Yi because of his ability to stack and increase movement speed with his first skill. His 2nd skill ables him to switch his position making him harder to aim for.
You already know your options for all lanes and different roles. At last we have another marksman to complete our list. Wanwan is sure to secure victory for your team. Mainly because she can easily dodge her enemy's attacks, and Lou Yi will not be able to compete against her outstanding movement speed and critical damage in the battlefield.
A girl with a max health bar, super human strength and reflexes, asgardian lineage, pyrokinesis, exceptional marksmanship and is the director of international peace keeping organization..
