What Gord is bad at
- Extremely fragile and immobile — no dash, blink or shield anywhere in his kit
- Mystic Projectile's stun is his only real engage tool, and missing it removes his whole follow-up plan
- Mystic Gush requires him to stand still while channeling, making him an easy burst target if caught
- Falls off relative to hypercarries in extended late-game fights since his damage doesn't scale as hard as a marksman's

Hard counters to Gord
Pick one of these and the matchup is decided before the fight starts.
NataliaAssassinHardNatalia can approach completely undetected in stealth, silence Gord before he can cast Mystic Projectile, and execute him with her ultimate before he gets a single skill off.
HanzoAssassinHardKinjutsu: Pinnacle Ninja sends Hanekage charging through terrain while Hanzo's real body sits invincible somewhere safe, so landing Mystic Projectile on the thing that reaches Gord accomplishes nothing.
LingAssassinHardLing's wall-climbing dashes let him approach Gord from angles he can't predict or stun in time, and he carries more than enough burst to kill him in one combo.
HelcurtAssassinHardDark Night Falls blacks out Gord's sight range entirely, so he can't see Helcurt coming or aim Mystic Projectile at him before Deadly Stinger's stored volley lands.
FannyAssassinHardFanny's cable mobility closes the distance on a stationary mage in seconds, arriving faster than Gord can turn and land Mystic Projectile.
Soft counters
Favourable, but Gord can still play around them.
AldousFighterSoftContract: Chase Fate gives Aldous vision of every enemy hero and a dash to reach them, so a stacked Aldous arrives from outside Gord's casting range and deletes his HP pool in one hit.
HarleyAssassin · MageSoftSpace Escape blinks him in and back out, so he can ring Gord with Deadly Magic and leave before Gord's cooldowns are up to stun him a second time.
JoyAssassinSoftJoy's rebound dashes bounce her around too fast and unpredictably for Mystic Projectile's skillshot to reliably track and land.
BenedettaAssassin · FighterSoftAlecto: Final Blow closes on Gord untargetable, and An Eye for An Eye blocks Mystic Projectile's stun outright if she times the parry into his cast.
ClaudeMarksmanSoftBattle Mirror Image lets Claude swap places with Dexter to dodge Mystic Projectile outright, and Blazing Duet shreds Gord's low HP pool from range.
