Johnson – Counters
Weak against (counters)
Johnson is countered by agile heroes who deal Magic Damage such as Harith and Kagura because they can easily dodge Johnson's skills while their damage is not affected by his Physical Defense.
Strong against
Johnson counters melee heroes with high burst like Alucard and Zilong because of Johnson's high Physical Defense and CC ability.
Best partners
Johnson works well with heroes that need help initiating like Odette and Kadita since they can just jump into Johnson's Ultimate for a ride.
